Three Trusted Siding Brands for Your New Building
All kinds of exterior facets play a role in the hardiness and cosmetic appeal of your new build—roofing, windows, patios, you name it. One that’s particularly paramount to its success is, of course, siding. By providing a weather-tight building envelope, it keeps the facility structurally sound, not to mention the occupants inside warm and cozy. Plus, it contributes to the aesthetic message of your build, showing off your business’s personality and welcoming customers and employees in with its unique flair.
We’ve touched on finding the right type of siding for your build before in our commercial construction blog “Finding the Right Siding for Your Business.” Just as important as type, however, is brand—and it’s the latter subject that we’ll tackle in this blog post. Below, you’ll learn all about the various siding brands we at KBS companies are proud to sell and how they can help take your new build to the next level.
Rollex
Fresh and modern, Rollex siding brings the epitome of contemporary class to your build—or a touch of traditional style, depending on what kind of siding you pick from this brand. As Rollex is proud to make both vinyl and steel products, your options come in a variety of shapes and sizes, not to mention colors.
What’s even more awesome about this siding brand: it’s virtually maintenance-free. As we cover on our brand page, little more than a wash with a garden hose is required to keep Rollex siding looking its best. It’s a perfect siding for the busy company who doesn’t have a lot of time to budget for exterior maintenance, yet still understands the importance of a top-notch appearance.
On top of all that, Rollex siding is immensely durable. Built to perform and look great while doing so, both its vinyl and steel products come with a proprietary coating that resists flaking, peeling, and cracking. Its products must also pass “rigorous quality control tests” before reaching the construction site, which ensures that every plank receives this coating and can keep your business looking great far into the future.
CertainTeed
If you’re looking for a siding brand that both protects and performs with certainty, CertainTeed is where it’s at. No matter what your definition of “durable” is or what role you need your siding to fulfil, CertainTeed has a product just for you. This brand manufactures vinyl siding, polymer shake-style siding, and stone veneer, after all!
CertainTeed as a company also places high value on environmental sustainability, according to the brand's official website: “CertainTeed takes pride in providing the best products to meet today’s market needs,” it declares, “but we are also looking ahead to offer our customers innovations for tomorrow.” The brand understands that in order for innovation, which it also values, to be successful, it must take care of the natural resources and environment that makes it possible. If your business is one that’s similarly devoted to environmental causes, this company should be high up on your list of potential siding brands.
On the subject of innovation: CertainTeed is a brand that constantly pushes borders. In its open floor-plan headquarters, its research team is constantly investigating the “impact [their] products have in a real environment,” according to the brand’s official website. Because the company has this sense, it’s better able to understand the problems that plague its potential customers—and the boundary-breaking solutions that fix them.
Weyerhaeuser
A brief caveat: Weyerhaeuser is less of a siding company and more of a siding distributor; though it does offer lumber and similar products under its own brand name, it also can serve as a liaison between you and your perfect siding brand. If you mention it to your commercial contractor, then, they’ll probably ask what specific siding supplier and siding material you’re really on about!
Nonetheless, this isn’t to discount Weyerhaeuser's importance in the siding supplier and commercial construction world; by creating a collection of trusted brands—James Hardie and TruWood, for example—the company makes it easy to find not only siding brands to fit your needs, but also auxiliary components, such as water management solutions and trim.
Weyerhaeuser brands tend to have one thing in common: their inclusion or the exclusivity of real wood in their products. Real wood provides a classical touch like no other to a building’s exterior, making it an appealing choice for businesses who value this—but it also can be quite demanding in the maintenance department. Luckily, some brands, like James Hardie, have created wood composite products like fiber cement siding that circumnavigate this.
Weyerhaeuser makes it possible to find appealing reclaimed wood products for your building’s indoor needs, too. If your business craves a touch of nature indoors as well as out, Weyerhaeuser is the siding supplier for you.
