CedarBoards Insulated Siding features the low maintenance appeal of vinyl siding and is energy efficient. This foam-backed insulated siding is weather resistant and can cut heat loss by up to 22 percent. Molded from real cedar boards, this siding is an excellent sustainable siding option and comes with a lifetime, limited warranty.

Monogram vinyl siding, molded from real cedar boards, is virtually maintenance-free, never needs painting and comes with a lifetime, limited warranty. Additionally, Monogram’s RigidForm™ 220 technology has been tested to withstand wind load pressure of more than 200 miles per hour. Extra long, extra thick Monogram 46L has the same great benefits as traditional Monogram, plus it reduces seams.

InvisiVent Soffit, which offers 50 percent more ventilation than most standard vinyl soffit, provides more than 10 inches of net-free intake areas. Additionally, the flat-face design creates a straighter panel with the look of smooth painted wood.
