Monogram™ 46 Vinyl Siding General Description: Monogram™ provides the look of wood siding, but does not require the upkeep common to wood. Available in a selection of profiles and finishes, Monogram offers the industry’s widest selection of colors. Monogram siding is appropriate for use in new construction for single family homes, multi-housing projects and light commercial developments. Monogram is also an ideal product for remodeling. 
Colors: Monogram siding profiles are available in the industry’s widest selection of colors. All colors are Spectrophotometer controlled and utilize exclusive PermaColor™ color science. 
STUDfinder™: The patented STUDfinder Installation System combines precisely engineered nail slot locations with graphics. Nail slots are positioned 16" on center to allow for alignment with studs. STUDfinder graphics centered at each slot provide a quick and easy guide to help locate studs. RigidForm™: Monogram RigidForm 220 technology has a stiff, double-thick .092" nail hem for a straighter-on-the-wall appearance and wind load performance. Lock: Uniquely designed for ease of installation, Monogram features the CertiLock™ locking system; a post-formed positive lock which provides for self-aligning installation. Properly installed panels will snap together with an audible “click” signaling that they are ready for nailing. Accessories: CertainTeed manufactures a wide range of siding accessories which are compatible with Monogram siding styles and colors. Accessory products include installation components, soffit, window and door trim, corner lineals, corner systems and decorative moldings. Composition: Monogram siding products are produced using CertaVin™ custom-formulated PVC resin. This resin is produced exclusively by CertainTeed, allowing CertainTeed to maintain the high quality of its siding products. CertainTeed’s Monogram siding is in compliance with the ASTM Specification for Rigid Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) siding D 3679. Technical Data: Monogram siding meets the weathering standard in ASTM D 3679 using ASTM D 1435 procedure. As shown in Table 1, Monogram siding is in compliance with ASTM Fire and Smoke procedures and meets or exceeds International Building Code requirements. 
Important Fire Safety Information: When rigid vinyl siding is exposed to significant heat or flame, the vinyl will soften, sag, melt or burn, and may thereby expose material underneath. Care must be exercised when selecting underlayment materials because many underlayment materials are made from organic materials that are combustible. You should ascertain the fire properties of underlayment materials prior to installation. All materials should be installed in accordance with local, state and federal Building Code and fire regulations. Wind Load Testing: CertainTeed Monogram double 4" siding has been tested per ASTM D 5206 standard test method for resistance to negative wind load pressures of 68 psf, which equates to more than 220 mph per VSI windspeed calculation guidelines, when installed with nails positioned 16" on center. Check with your local building inspector for wind load requirements in your area on the type of structure you are building.
