SOLID CORE SIDING®
Straighter. Stronger. Smarter.
All insulated siding is not the same.
Independent testing just released reveals that CraneBoard® SOLID CORE SIDING®’s molded foam is far superior compared to standard wire cut insulating foam.
What’s more is CraneBoard SOLID CORE SIDING gives you all the aesthetics homeowners will love while creating a thermal blanket around your home.
CraneBoard replicates the look of popular, real wood profiles of 6”, 7” and Board and Batten. This composite siding system has an authentic woodgrain texture for a true, freshly painted look.
Wider is Better. 6 and 7 inch widths give a much cleaner and realistic appearance. Less horizontal lines than traditional 4 inch siding that is common today.
Less Seams. Our SOLID CORE SIDING also come's in extra length panels that are over 16 ft long. This reduces seams by almost 40% compared to regular siding creating a virtually seamless look.
The Solid Core backing and heavy guage pvc make Crane's panel 240% more impact resistant than fiber cement siding and over 300% more impact resistant than regular vinyl siding. This also makes seams much tighter and prevents waviness often seen in lower quality siding.
