CertainTeed®

The Certainteed company appears to be marking their product as being better than HardiPlank®; however, we see many similarities in manufacturing and installation guidelines. If anything, this product appears to be “more fragile” relative to handling prior to installation. This is the only product that we have found that identifies specific paint coatings suitable for application on the material as part of the finish product. We do not have any photographs of this material. This company is also riding the wave of “alternative replacement to composition wood siding.”

We consider this material to be “young” as far as general use is concerned. More information about this product can be found below:
