Siding having indicia defining a fastening zone
First Claim
1. A siding piece, comprising:
- a panel of siding material including a first edge extending along a first dimension, a second edge spaced apart from the first edge a first distance, and a first side having indicia defining a zone into which at least one fastener should be placed to install the panel, the zone extending along the first dimension and having a width of approximately 0.2 inch to approximately 0.3 inch, wherein the zone has a center line spaced apart from the first edge a second distance of approximately 7 percent to approximately 22 percent of the first distance, wherein the siding material is composed of a continuous, single fiber-cement compound comprising cement, silica, and cellulose fiber, wherein the zone is a first zone and the indicia are first indicia, wherein the panel further includes second indicia defining a second zone into which at least one fastener can be placed, and wherein the second zone is spaced apart from the first zone.

Abstract
Siding panels having indicia indicating a zone into which fasteners should be placed, and methods for manufacturing and installing the panels are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the siding includes a panel of siding material having a first edge extending along a first dimension, a second edge spaced apart from the first edge a first distance, and a first side with indicia. The indicia define a zone into which at least one fastener should be placed to install the panel. The zone extends along the first dimension and has a width of approximately 0.2 inch to approximately 0.3 inch. The zone has a center line spaced apart from the first edge a second distance of approximately 7 percent to approximately 22 percent of the first distance. The siding material is composed of a continuous, single fiber-cement compound including cement, silica, and cellulose fiber.
