Question 1

How do I determine how much siding, corner pieces and J channels I will need?

Accepted Answer

Hi Annette, thanks for your question.

Tando siding is measured in squares. 1 square equals 100 square feet. To determine the amount of siding needed, you will first measure the surface that the siding is going to cover. For example, a wall that&#x27;s 20 feet long by 10 feet high is 200 square feet, which equals 2 squares of siding. You also need to factor in waste; this varies but a general rule is 30%. Now you&#x27;re at 2.63 squares. Most of Tando&#x27;s products are are sold in 1/2 square boxes, so for this example, you would need a total of 6 boxes of siding.

J-channel is measured in linear feet, so measure the distance of all j-channel needed (windows, doors, other block penetrations, inside corners). If you are finishing the project on top with j-channel, you will need that measurement as well.

Corners are measured by the height of the corner divided by the height of the Tando corner piece. Count each corner and measure each height. For example, 8 corners that are each 10 feet tall. Tando rough sawn cedar corner piece is 13 inches tall. 120 inches (10 feet) divided by 13 inches equals 9.2 corner pieces per corner. 9.2 corner pieces times 8 corners equals 73.85 rounded to 74 corner pieces needed total.
