Why ELITE siding
Wood character. Metal behavior.
ELITE starts as G90 galvanized coil, roll-formed into a single 6-inch plank and embossed with a die cast from real milled cedar. The result reads as a stained wood wall from the street — and behaves like metal in weather that destroys wood.
- Won't warp or rot
- ELITE holds its line in freeze-thaw cycles that cup and split wood and buckle vinyl.
- Class A fire rating
- Non-combustible substrate that meets the strictest wildfire-zone assembly requirements.
- 160 mph wind load
- Full-length nail hem and interlocking plank edges tested to hurricane-zone pressures.
- Never needs painting
- Kynar 500 PVDF coating resists chalk and fade for decades of maintenance-free color.
