Siding is that part of a house that is either under everyone’s eyes and exposed to many environmental elements that can directly affect it, transforming the siding in a warped, rotten, faded, and damaged material.
As Boston, MA, and its surrounding areas suffer from extreme weather conditions, reaching hot temperatures during summer and cold ones in winter, maintaining a siding has become more and more expensive and it can be a waste of time.
So, if you are looking for an improvement of appearance, not only to increase your home’s value, but to sell it for a good price in the future or to avoid any more serious problems; replacing the old siding is the answer.
We offer many different types of siding, and one good option among them is Craneboard siding, a stronger vinyl that can provide several advantages to the homeowner and the house itself.
CraneBoard siding is a siding made of a stronger vinyl which does not require much maintenance, without needing to paint it again or scraping it, so you can choose among its variety of color without worrying about fading; having a gorgeous looking exterior all the time.
This siding will not warp, buckle or sag, and, in addition, is capable of reducing external noise by 45% and it has an R-value up to 19% better than an ordinary vinyl siding, being more energy-efficient and consequently helping to save money on energy bills.
Another great advantage of CraneBoard siding is being 50-mil thick molded that is hail resistant, fade resistant, leading to a resistance against winds up to 160 mph.
Besides, using this siding leaves no time for worries in relation to moisture. Its unique design of Solid CoRe insulation creates a space for ventilation, having a moisture management that improves evaporation and permeability.
And the greatest advantage in the long run is when choosing CraneBoard siding its manufacturing comes only with a Life of the Home Limited Warranty. So, it means that the lifetime of the structure warranty will pass from the actual owner to the buyer, protecting the next owner against any damages.
CraneBoard siding is made of a tougher vinyl and its appearance is similar to real wood, bringing a classic look to the house without the maintenance that a wooden siding requires.
This long lasting and high-quality siding has been considered for the last twenty years one of the best cladding materials, being a better option in front of fiber cement, wood, engineered wood or brick.
R-value is the term that represents how well insulated a material is. Having a proper insulation helps to keep energy bills down, the emission of carbon footprint is reduced and improves the value of a house.
Considering a material as insulated, the R-value needs to be higher, being better and more resistant. A CraneBoard siding has an insulation of 3.0 – 4.0, this is twenty times higher than fiber cement and four times more than ordinary vinyl siding.
So, taking this into account, when a house is covered with CraneBoard siding, it becomes more energy-efficient, no need to worry about bills.
CraneBoard is composed of a 50-mil thick comprised molded material, giving a huge impact and extreme weather resistance.
Due to its thickness, with the use of TXL Lamination Technology, CraneBoard siding can be 200% stronger than other types of vinyl siding, withstand an impact up to 64% without suffering any damages.
