Wind Rating (Siding)
Wind rating refers to the tested ability of a siding system and its attachment pattern to resist wind pressure and suction without failure.
In Detail
Why It Matters
Wind rating becomes more important on exposed sites, upper elevations, gable ends, and coastal or lakefront work. It depends on the whole system: panel, fastener pattern, substrate, and edge detailing.
