Welcome back to our series on CertainTeed vinyl siding. Each installment of the series features one of the sixteen different types of siding styles that CertainTeed manufactures — all of which are backed by an amazing 50-year, non-prorated lifetime limited warranty.
In today’s installment, we’re focusing on the CedarBoards line of insulated vinyl siding, which provides the authentic aesthetic and texture of real cedar, without the higher cost or maintenance. The CedarBoards line is also durable, eco-friendly and energy-efficient.
In case you missed them, here’s a recap of the siding styles we’ve covered so far …
OK, let’s jump into the benefits, profile types, finishes, warranty, and colors of CedarBoards insulated siding. Before we do so, let’s take a look at CertainTeed’s dedication to sustainability, as well as their 5-Star Contractor rating — which is the premier contractor program in the industry.
SUSTAINABILITY
CertainTeed’s dedication to sustainability plays a big role in how they design their vinyl siding products. For instance, their sustainability practices include what they refer to as, promoting transparency. Here’s what CertainTeed has to say about it …
“Dedicated to healthy environments that take care of people, we are leading in the breadth of our portfolio with Health Product Declarations (HPDs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).”
If sustainability is important to you, this is another CertainTeed benefit to consider when choosing your siding replacement brand.
THE CERTAINTEED 5-STAR VINYL SIDING CONTRACTOR RATING
When choosing a vinyl siding contractor, it’s good to choose one that has a CertainTeed 5-Star Vinyl Siding Contractor rating.
Any contractor who has attained this rating has met specific criteria — including the completion of CertainTeed’s Master Craftsman coursework, plus rigorous continuing education that covers things like sustainable building, product installation, and business best practices.
