Not all siding can authentically replicate natural beauty, ensure lasting performance and provide easy installation. Fortunately, CertainTeed Corporation’s Cedar Impressions® Polymer Shake Siding can. The company answers the increasing demand for this popular shake siding with the introduction of the new Double 7 Staggered Perfection Shingle.
Jan 9, 2008
The Double 7" Staggered Perfection Shingle creates a warm and ruggedly beautiful look. Ideal for whole-house or accent applications, the product’s authentic woodgrain texture replicates real wood, while the staggered pattern appears like hand-sawn, individually applied cedar shingles. The Double 7" Staggered Perfection is available in 25 colors, including many dark colors new to the Cedar Impressions palette such as Terra Cotta, Hearth Stone, Spruce and Suede.
“The innovations we bring to market are designed to enhance the look of homes and buildings and provide real value to our customers and end users,” says Phyllis Vail, Director of Marketing Communications for CertainTeed’s Siding Products Group. “Cedar Impressions is one of our most popular lines and we are pleased to offer to building professionals and homeowners with even more choices.”
In total, CertainTeed offers six styles in the industry leading Cedar Impressions line. The perfection shingles are offered in both a Double 7" and Triple 5" straight edge design that creates a distinctive refined look, while the new Double 7" staggered edge perfection shingles add a more relaxed feeling to the traditional styling. Cedar Impressions rough-split shakes come in a Double 7" straight edge profile and a Double 9" staggered edge profile. Double 6-1/4" half-rounds complete the line. The TrueTexture™ finish of Cedar Impressions is molded from real cedar shingles for the natural look of cedar siding without the expense and heavy maintenance of wood. Cedar Impressions never requires painting or staining and won’t rot, crack or split like wood can.
The straight-up installation, positive lock with lead-in guide, and patented PanelThermometer™ and temperature lines make the installation of all Cedar Impressions panels easy and fast. Once installed, reinforced nail slots and notched side laps help secure the panel to the wall while ribs on the back of the panels add structural stability for extra protection against warping, cupping and distortion.
Cedar Impressions is virtually maintenance free and never needs painting. It comes with a lifetime limited warranty. For more details, see printed warranty where product is sold.
