Choosing the Right Type of Composite Siding
We can help you better understand your composite house siding options so that you can choose the right one for your home and budget. We only carry products from trusted manufacturers known for their durability and quality, and we ensure proper installation for maximum benefit. The most common types of composite siding are:
- Engineered Wood – Engineered wood siding is made from a combination of wood fibers and resin. This makes it highly durable and weather-resistant. It faithfully mimics the appearance of natural wood and offers insulating properties.
- Composite Clapboard – Composite clapboard siding looks like traditional clapboard but is more durable and weather resistant, as well as resistant to fire and pests. Composite materials are more eco-friendly and sustainable and require less care and maintenance.
- Stone Composite Overlay – Everlast Advanced Composite Siding is made from a proprietary blend of polymeric resin and a granular stone composite overlay. This makes it highly durable and weather-resistant. It mimics the appearance of real cedar wood but is resistant to pests, warping, fading, cracking, rot, and warping. Everlast’s siding is protected by a specialized layer of sealant that creates a natural wood grain texture.
