Temple-Inland's forest products business segment operates 19 plants and mills throughout the U.S. and in Canada. These facilities manufacture a wide range of construction and industrial building products, including lumber and studs, wood trim and siding, particleboard, medium density fiberboard (MDF), gypsum wallboard, and fiberboard products. The forest products segment maintains an interest in a gypsum joint venture and an MDF joint venture.

Roof Insulation Board: FiberBase HD is the perfect roof insulation board to help you complete any roofing project reliably and economically. It is durable, easy to handle and easy to apply. It will last for years in both re-roof and new roof applications. The choice of three surface characteristics offers versatility and compatibility to meet a wide range of needs.

Regular Fiberboard Wall Sheathing: Regular Fiberboard Sheathing's interknit wood fibers offer real job-site toughness. Regular Sheathing holds up to normal on-the-job abuse while meeting the demands of stud wall construction. It supplements required wall bracing and increases insulation value for energy-conscious builders.

QuietBrace Structural Sheathing: Install QuietBrace Structural Sheathing on your next project, and discover a whole new level of power to control sound, increase permeability and add insulation value. It offers a complete high-performance package of benefits no other sheathing can keep up with.

Sound-Deadening Fiberboard: SoundChoice153; Available in 1/2"- thick 4x8 panels, SoundChoice is a high-level sound-deadening product that is lightweight, yet rigid for easy installation. It is especially effective in partitions and surrounding walls, and is even suitable for ceilings and floors. It also provides thermal insulation, all at a low installed cost.

Cornice System: TrimCraft Introduced over 10 years ago as the first engineered wood trim, the TrimCraft Cornice System now includes trim, soffit and ceiling panels for proven performance, productivity and low maintenance.

Trim: TrimCraft is available in two thicknesses and multiple widths. TrimCraft is equally valuable whether your application is simple fascia or a complete multilayered trim package.

Soffit: TrimCraft is available in fully primed 16-foot lengths. Carpenters can efficiently install long spans with fewer seams and apply a better paint job for a more consistent, longer-lasting finish.

Ceiling Panels: TrimCraft ceiling panels are the perfect solution for porches, entryways and wide overhangs.

EnduraSiding: Offering the benefits of consistent quality, easy installation and a variety of sizes and surface textures, EnduraSiding offers beauty, reliability and efficiency for home builders and home buyers across the United States.

Lap Siding: User friendly, EnduraSiding lap boards are especially easy to install and require no special tools to apply. They also offer the reliability and efficiency needed for better results in both commercial and residential construction.

Panel Siding: Available in a variety of patterns, EnduraSiding engineered wood panels cover quickly and are a reliable performer in commercial and residential construction. Not only are they practical, they can also be nailed directly to studs or over sheathing for quick and easy installation.

Special Panels: Made from the same reliable 100% wood fiber as our lap and panel siding, EnduraSiding specialty panels offer functional and decorative versatility to complement a variety of architectural styles.

CypressShake: Designed to realistically simulate the distinct appearance of Cypress shakes, this lap pattern is available in a 12-inch width, a 16-foot length and a 1/2-inch thickness. Easy to handle, cut and fasten, CypressShake goes up fast and its factory-primed surface paints quickly and efficiently. Plus, it's backed by a 30-year limited warranty.

          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Examine areas and conditions under which Work of this Section will be performed. Correct conditions detrimental to timely and proper completion of Work. Do not proceed until unsatisfactory conditions are corrected.
 
          3.2INSTALLATION
 
          A.Storage:
          1.Store fiberboard flat on stringers in a well-ventilated building with at least 6 inches (152 mm) of clearance between each stack of units, or outside away from standing water. Stacks should not exceed 3 units in height.
 
          B.Application: General
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Under the IRC, Structural Wall Sheathing is acceptable where wind speeds are less than 110 mph and in seismic design categories A-D2. It is also acceptable in areas above 110 mph. See IRC 301.2.1.1 and the Wood Frame Construction Manual. Under the IBC, acceptability is to 100 mph (110 mph in exposures A & B), with provisions for above-100 mph areas in the WFCM. See IBC 2308.2.1. Seismic acceptability is in Categories A, B, C with conventional light frame construction. Provisions for other categories are in 2308.11 and 2308.12.
          1.Vertical joints shall be centered on framing members with a 1/8 inch (3 mm) gap between edges. Horizontal joints should be backed with supporting framing to provide adequate reinforcement for fastening. A 1/8 inch (3 mm) gap should be left between the lower and the upper panel. Provide a minimum 1/8 inch (3 mm) gap around window and door openings.
 
          C.Application: Structural Wall Sheathing.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** The International Residential Code (IRC 602.10.1) requires bracing panels to begin within 12.5 feet of the corner. The International Building Code (IBC 2308.9.3) requires bracing panels to start within 8 feet of the corner.
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Structural Wall Sheathing is allowable on one-story and all stories of two- and three-story structures under IRC and IBC conventional frame construction provisions. Refer to the specific code for details of panel placement, amount required and wind or seismic restrictions.
          1.When used as bracing panels, full sheets shall be installed. Bracing panels shall be installed at the corners within the prescribed distance from the corner as required by the building code.
          2.Structural Wall Sheathing shall be installed on exterior walls with studs spaced no more than 16 inches (406 mm) o.c. from the sill to the top plate.
 
          D.Fasteners:
          1.Structural Wall Sheathing shall be installed using galvanized roofing nails or corrosion-resistant staples.
          2.Fasteners should be placed no closer than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) from the edge and shall be driven perpendicular to the face. Where two panels meet on a framing member, care shall be taken in placing the fasteners so that both panels are fastened correctly on the common framing member.
          3.For bracing panels, fasteners shall be spaced no more than 3" inches (76 mm) o.c. along the edges and 6 inches 152 mm) o.c. along intermediate studs.
          4.When panels are installed as non-structural wall sheathing, fasteners shall be spaced no more than 6 inches (152 mm) o.c. along the edges and 12 inches (305 mm) o.c. along intermediate studs.
          5.Do not overdrive fasteners.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Building codes require that for fasteners to be properly installed, they should be driven snugly up to the face of the panel. When nail heads or staple crowns are imbedded below the face of the sheet, they are overdriven. This weakens the connection between the sheathing and the framing and reduces the holding power of the fastener. Unfortunately, field application of fasteners makes it difficult to flush drive 100 percent of them consistently. Some overdriving will occur and can be acceptable if not in excess.
          a.Install fasteners tight to the face of the panel.
          b.Structural Wall Sheathing fastener installation with no more than 25-30 percent of the fasteners overdriven no more than 3/16 inch (5 mm) is acceptable. Panels fastened exceeding these limits shall be replaced.
 
          E.Penetrations and Cut-Outs:
          1.For Structural Wall Sheathing, limit the total penetration area in any one panel to 144 square inches. Cutouts for windows and doors that are larger than 144 square inches in size shall be backed with framing and secured around the perimeter.
