Ascend Siding Features


The Design


The main standout is its Patented (GP)² Technology that provides better flame/smoke spread, thermal and impact resistance, and superior wind load performance. The key to success with the design is its integration of glass fibers. A glass fiber base over typical vinyl offers it strength and durability without the weight of cement based products. Offering a lighter weight material gives customers an advantage because it lowers installation cost.

Warranty


Ascend siding is all backed by a lifetime warranty that backs against blistering, corroding, flaking and peeling. With any product on your house one of the biggest factors is fade resistance. All exterior products will fade over time and Hunter Units offer a scale to explain the expected or allowable color fade over a given period of time. Typical sidings guarantee a fade of no more than 3-4 units over the course of 5 years. Ascend offers a change  of no more than 3 hunter units over the whole lifetime warranty. This gives customers confidence that it will look great for as long as they own the home.
