Great video an incredibly informative as per usual. Thanks for sharing and we are excited to help you on your journey of getting you license in Oregon.
What part of Oregon are you moving to?
The 24" explanation just blew my mind. This is genius. Smart design. Smart implementation. Love it.
Another well explained on every detail that is needed and should be noted. As a Certified Home Inspector I was happy to see your explanation between the siding nail and a finishing nail. As there are a lot of times you won't see nail head sizes due to the over lay. One thing I see a lot is that builder don't switch between the nail guns and I find after looking closely a ton of finishing nail heads. All ask, well "what's the problem with that, besides a lazy builder not changing to the proper sliding nail gun and nail head size." Answer is simple, as I said before If installed correctly you shouldnt find many head nail exposed in the first place. But the biggest reason why you are to use a sliding nail with a head is to keep the wind from slamming against the outside structure and lifting the James Hardie or LP siding w and ripping it off the wall. As Matt said the ring shanks they're pretty tough to pull out at that with a big diameter head keeps it in place rather using finishing nail the wind would be able to just pull the sliding right off that tiny nail head.
BEST install vid (& advice, tips, techniques) period! Way to go!
Preparing to have my siding done on my new construction home and wanted to know more about the process. This video was so helpful! Thanks so much for sharing.
took me two hours to find somebody that Actually knows what they are talking about. thank you! subscribed.
Cheers.
Lot of DIY Masters on YT..
@@MattBangsWood I’m a handyman. 60% of my work load is repairing DIY projects after they fail. I love CZcams soo much!
Nicely done. The best concise instructions and tips I've seen re this subject. Thank you.
Thank you for a very informative video. We have very old vinyl siding and live in the high desert of Nevada, where the wind and sun take it's toll. We are also rural, so we are considering having our contractor friend come help us do this. Thank you again!
I need 12 things to know .... maybe more! Thanks Matt always love catching up with your vids
Thanks Matt! These are the exactly things I wanted to see! Awesome informative video! Keep’em coming! BIG Thums up!
Best Hardie board video I've seen. Great job, thanks.
I'm planning on GCing my personal house build and was hoping to do the B&B myself. You always put out top notch (informative) content. Really appreciate it.
We Love what you do! Thank you for sharing and teaching us!
I’ve found out that a dewalt nibbler does a great job cutting the hardie board. There’s literally minimum to no extreme dust and the cuts are very clean. You just have to look at your cut line & make sure that the sides of the nibbler is on it. Do a little practice on a scrap piece and I think you’ll enjoy using it, instead of using a saw with a hardie-blade.
Wow, you're an amazing instructor. And I just saw saw in the comments you do work in the Oregon area, very cool. I'm from Oregon. I'll be watching all your board and batten videos in the days to come. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
thanks for a great explanation and instruction on installation. I will be trying this later this year on my garage
I install James Hardie siding for a living up in Canada. For board and batten we always strap out the walls with 1x4 straps so that condensation doesn’t build up between the sheets and the wall. We use colour matched James Hardie battens so that they match the sheet colour perfectly and use colour match aluminum for all the flashings.
When you do your layout for battens I’ve heard that you have to nail though the studs but many times on gables studs are not centered in the peak so what is more important the looks or to nails in the studs even if you know that batten are not gonna look good and it also happen with windows
@@maynorgantenbein4510 there should be osb sheeting so that you can put your battens where you need. No need to nail into studs. Or if you have to nail into studs you can run strapping horizontally
What does strap out the walls mean?
@@4me2poop0nUthey are talking about a rain screen or an air gap behind the siding so that it can stay dry.
@@maynorgantenbein4510Did you find an answer to your question? I am wondering the same thing and am considering centering the framing on the gable walls so that studs, strapping, and battens all align and are centered on the peak.
Thanks Matt, that was SUPER informative. Going to be installing EXACTLY what you just explained in a few weeks on my dream workshop project and now I am confident I will do a superlative job.
My go to guy for any questions I might have concerning construction 💯💯 love the videos
Awesome, so helpful for a dyi'er, all i needed to know in this video, you explain everything so well, thank you!
Great content as always! Stoked to see another video!
Great video man all around! Just started in construction doing siding in bend Oregon and that was super helpful info to sum up B and B
Very helpful video as always. Thanks Matt!
I really appreciate you spreading this knowledge ❤
great video, illustrations take time...thanks for putting in the effort
Hey Matt! Perfect timing. I'm getting ready to install on my house but going with PVC all the way around. I have to put some more thought into the layout as the windows are spaced out but not evenly. Any suggestions?
Awesome work Matt Like always.
I'm gonna have to visit you in Oregon and buy you and your crew some beer
Great tips man! Thanks for putting this together for us!
🇺🇸👊🇺🇸
Thanks I may never hang a piece again but I live good solid information to help make my decisions. Thanks again Matt
Thanks Matt. I'm looking into using this siding for a project I'm working on. Thank you for the helpful information.
Hey Matt do trim everything last, like over all the sheets. Corners, belly band , bottom starter band , trim around doors windows etc. I’m using 5/4 trim idk if i need to trim first then install 4x8 sheets thanks
I just love this style! :) Would love to have it on my house. I think I will do it whenever I need to change the siding!
You can also use the electric scissor that’s made to cut the James Hardie boards and I think we can use that for most of the cuts
Great video! I'll be installing this exact style of siding soon. Do you need to caulk the joints between 4X8 sheets and the battens on the verticle seam? Thanks!
Thank you for your video. Did you install the exterior plywood siding panels behind 2x4 which is supported for soffit and roof sheating?
Great video and fantastic information.
What length / type of finish nails are you using in the batten board? Are the nails gripping the Hardie board to hold the batten board or are do they penetrate the Hardie and grab to the sheathing under the Hardie board? Also I know a framing nailer can shoot into Hardie board but does it damage it? I was just wondering what is the purpose of using a siding nailer (other than the fact that they are lighter and less strain on the worker)?
Matt, great video! Very informative! Do all the batts have to land on studs or is centering for esthetics most important? Thanks again.
great vids matt,does each side of a panel have to land on a stud if 1/2 fir plywood is the substraid??
james hardie site says yes and if not then a special passload nail is required
Excellent, informative video. Thank you.
Shouldn’t you gap the panel a 1/4” above the Z-flashing to avoid capillary action?
He said he wasn't concerned about moisture there, but yeah, you're supposed to. Some installers caulk that gap and make it tight like Matt. Not correct per mfg., but they want a seamless look. This is also the reason that board and batten is still installed with 1x12x16' boards because they want it seamless from top to bottom.
The one bummer about board and Batton and this particular method is that the trim pieces on top of doors and windows don’t get flashed, which is a common place for water to sit. The only solution really is to trim the windows and doors first, than flash the trim and then cut your panels to butt onto the outside of the trim, which is a hard cut to get looking nice. Any other suggestions?
Man, you are a life saver!
Killer Video Matt! I'm ripping off my stucco and installing james hardie board. How the you finish the bottom around stairs? Look like on another vid there is a gap. Do you have caulk? I have exposed eaves with 2x6. Is it best to cut out everyone one or put a 1x4 in between? If cut out, how do you finish the edges? Just caulk? Thanks!
Thanks for posting this video
Very helpful
Good video what I do I mark every sheet before installing that way I can nail my sheets under the 1x2
Question, if batten is placed on top of the Z flashing on say a 17 ft high wall, how do you prevent water dripping down the flashing from finding its way behind the boards and battens at the 4 foot joints. Would you use a good quality caulk? Also when rain water is driven by the wind, its logical that water will get behind the batten and hence board at the joints., how do you prevent that? Video is very informative, thank you. Art
@MattBangsWood - What thickness panel do you usually use? 5/16? 7/16? Do you commonly paint or do you use prefinished?
Hi great video I’m about to use this same material it do a ship lap design for a old mobile home I’m restoring to have a modern tiny house look . Very helpful information! When you look up hardy board it’s misleading so this video was very helpful to me ! I instantly subscribed thank you
Did I see this correctly, you have siding going all the way up to the window, then window casing on top of that? I thought you were supposed to have casing first, then run JH siding to it, leaving 1/8 gap? I'm only asking because I'm starting to re-side my own house with board and batten from JH and trimming the window is where I'm stuck. Thanks
I enjoy your videos. I'm a owner/builder. Going to install Board & Batten. Do I need to consider framing so that the 4X8 hardi sheets break on studs in order for me to start my Bats on center of gable walls. Or in other words does the hardi sheets and bats need to be nailed through studs or just install the sheets in order to get my joints/bats where I want them an not worry about them falling on studs.
I will run James Hardie horizontal planks and I want my gable to be vertical plank. The trim piece that goes in between, does it need a z bar flashing above it or below it?
Thanks Matt, great video
Hey Matt. We are looking at a home with board and batten siding and it looks like there is no caulking around the windows/trim. That doesn't seem right. The gaps are bigger in between the windows and trim but you still need to caulk right?
Do you break all 4 x 8 sheets on studs and nail in the field on all the studs or just in the zip system sheathing
Great vid. I have no flange, European style windows. They sit flush with the sheathing. You got any pointers on how to finish off the edge of the Hardie panel before I install the window trim?
I have 4 gables that I would like to side. none of them are ove 8" would i use the z-bar flashing on the top of the board? or anywhere in this project
GREAT INFO, SOLID VIDEO. Vinny 🇺🇸
Nicely done!!
So when applying the baton do you use a siding nail or finish nail?
Question, 8:55 mark, would it be beneficial to router out a drip edge on the underside of your belly band feature so that water doesn't pull into the underside seam? Or is that just overkill?
Question, You built this super bomber envelope using zipsystems 👍. You liquid flashed for air tightness and water intrusion 👍. Used concrete products for longevity👍. Wheres the air gap for your rain screen?
when installing Colour Plus prefinished panels and battens, is it necessary to caulk the sides of all battens?
Can I use liquid flashing to paint on the ends of the Zip board that face down? If I can't get Huber liquid flashing, what are some alternatives?
Thanks Matt,
Great point on Flashing.
What do you think of just using finish nails with nail head depth flush, for fastening all panels ? Instead of large nail head ring shank.
your feedback greatly appreciated.
Don’t use finish nailer shooting clipped headed nails for the hardi board,use galvanized ring shank with the bigger heads…helps hold panels from expansion/contraction and ring shanks don’t wiggle out of the framing
Can cdx sheathing be used for the siding? Would it stand up to the weather if it was caulked and painted?
Aside from nails, can you use screws? and if so, would it be bugle head screws such as Backer-On or regular galvanized screws (pre-drill before using screws)?
I live in Southeast Louisiana and I was thinking about doing board and batten siding on the exterior of my home. What are your suggestions for protecting it from rotting? Especially with the rain and heat that we get. Will paint protect it from that?
How much does replacing siding to install hardy batten cost? I've got a 1400 SQ ft single story home and was wanting to replace the top half of my home w batten. It's a new build and was just finished three months ago, if that matters. The current siding is hardy board going horizontally.
hey matt, are you using any adhesive under mid bands, battens, or trim? ive found a bead of quid nails with a 2” 15ga stainless through composite or pvc batts and trim when possible to be holding up quite well and we are on the coast of SC and we have some crazy build codes on anything east of I95. thumbs up on the 24” zontal line. learn sumpm new everyday….lol, hope that never stops!
Very informative, thank you.
Ive got a manufactured home, how would my layout be determined to land correctly. Im pretty sure I dont have plywood under my T111. Only concern I have for doing the siding on my place this summer. And if you dont get back to me I totally understand!
Hi, Thanks for the great content. For the finish nailer, what length nails do you recommend? Thanks for your time. Jessica
What size Zbar above windows and what size above sections? 3/8", 5/8" or 1.25"
thank u matt thats very good video.. keep it up brother
Good content and very good explanation
I was wondering, the corner trim not supposed to overlap the sheets? The battens overlap, but not any trim right?
Hello matt. Do you make sure you nail the board panels into stud framing? Or do you just nail to the wall sheathing?
Hi Matt, can this be screwed on top of existing stuco wall?
What saw blades are you using to cut it, the sheets?
So what's the standard overhang? I've seen people do 1&1/2 inch 1&1/4, and now I'm seeing you do 1 inch overhang. I'm still learning.
How long did it take to finish the siding for the whole house?
If you are already using the LP SmartSide boards for the battens and window trims, have you considered using the LP SmartSide panel siding instead of the fiber cement panels? Because you are right, it is nasty stuff to work with until it is up on the wall...
I build with smartside, it performs much better and is a better product all around vs hardie in my opinion.
Can you fasten hardie boards without using battens….I am looking for a stucco kind of look. If yes…how do you hide the nails to fasten the board.
Thanks.
Control line. F-ing brilliant!
What finish nail was that. Great video as alway. Watching you has helped me build my 12x16 shop/shed.
LONG TIME! I can't wait for the Oregon series of builds to come!!! I would love to move to Oregon/Washington in the north west... I am in Phoenix and the older I get (37) the more I want to start to get away from the heat and the hussle and bussle. Turn into a snow bird and come down to a winter home and summer home up north....
Heard that. 106 is some bullshit
@@johnyeary6695 106 is a nice cool day, lol. but the monsoon hit hard this year thankfully and cooled down the the low/mid 100's, just brings a shyt ton of humidity too... better then last year where we broke records of most days of 115+ in a summer and hit 120+ multiple times.
@@MikeHarris1984 yeah its just 106 today .🤣 where abouts you at?
@@johnyeary6695 north Peoria (by lake pleasent) out in the open desert 🏜️ so away from the heat island of Phoenix metro where I grew up in and the open desert air is so much nicer and cooler.
Got you lined up for work if you need it. I’m working with a contractor whose building 143 houses in snowflake. It’s been 1 month and we’re on our third house
So, are your 1x2 battens a treated material or untreated?
THAAAANK YOUUUU FOR THIS VIDEO !!
Awesome video!
Great damn video! Saved me lots of heartache!
Great video. Thanks!
Do you have to caulk that trim on both sides or is it fine the way it is
great stuff brother
Do you think it's necessary to caulk where the bats meet the boards ? It seems like it would be a good idea at least on the ones covering the sheet joints.
A lot of people don't, but personally we do.
I’ve seen people not use caulk and in my opinion it looks terrible. On a decent size house you’ll use boxes and boxes of caulk but it’s definitely worth it.
Does hardie board and Batten have to be nailed in the trusses? And if so how are you suppose to have a good lay out
What is the product you referenced for buttons instead of cement, pressure rated?
What do you use for the batten? And why not use James Hardy trim?
Matt - could you share your opinion about the LP Smart Siding as an alternative to fiber cement products? The silica dust from cutting fiber cement is a BIG concern of mine as it causes serious lung problems.
It’s pretty plain and simple. Fiber cement is junk and LP is the only way to go.
I had HB siding installed recently and they spaced the vertical pieces 13.5" apart but the windows aren't uniform. I can't upload a photo in the comments. Can I email you a pic? The manager is coming out to see what I'm talking about. I need to know how do I get them to fix this so the windows look uniform?
