Architectural and Performance benefits of Cellular PVC Cladding

PVC that is extruded and whipped into less dense aerated foam—has the working characteristics of wood

High- end coating ensures a long-lasting ultra-low maintenance finish
Flexible coating will not chip or crack
Protects against mold and mildew
Proven to withstand harshest weather conditions – in real world and simulated testing, resulting in superior fade protection on even the darkest colors

Technological advances have led to superior, water-based, PVDF-coated cellular PVC cladding system

Performance goals for a superior, exterior cladding system:

Continuous expansion and contraction of cladding materials creates unsightly “seams”

Joints have attractive butt edge
No buckling or gapping
Cladding is free to move at edges during temperature cycling

Flexural strength of cellular PVC is 2,700 psi
Strong and lightweight, can be “heat bent”
Coated plugs conceal the fasteners for smooth surface

Select and specify a product that can extend or maximize a building’s life cycle
PDVF coatings allows building owners to avoid having to re-coat or spend maintenance dollars
PVDF coatings can easily be cleaned with a garden hose and a cleaning agent when necessary
Cellular PVC and water-based PVDF coatings are both recyclable, where facilities exist
Both post-industrial and post-consumer waste can be recycled
Packaging should be recyclable—depending on the manufacturer
Keeps the substrate cooler with lower heat build
Translates into comfort and lower energy costs
Keeps surfaces cooler and less susceptible to accelerated aging
