• As with all wood products, do not apply engineered wood panels to a structure having excessive moisture conditions such as drying concrete, plaster, or wet blown cellulose insulation. If such conditions exist, the building should be well ventilated to allow it to dry prior to the application of the panel.

• For interior finish applications over masonry or concrete walls, follow your local building code requirements.

• Gutters with kick-out flashing and eave drip edge are recommended for control of roof water run off.
