Construction and Materials
TruExterior Siding & Trim products are engineered for exceptional performance and durability, offering a unique combination of benefits that set them apart in the exterior cladding market. The core of these products is a proprietary polymer composite material. This advanced material is formulated to be highly resistant to moisture, rot, and insects, making it an ideal choice for demanding exterior applications. Unlike traditional wood products, it does not absorb moisture, which eliminates concerns about swelling, cracking, and warping, even in harsh weather conditions.
The construction of TruExterior siding and trim allows for ease of installation and a wide range of design possibilities. The material is lightweight and easy to cut, shape, and fasten, which can significantly reduce installation time and labor costs. This workability also means that intricate profiles and custom designs can be achieved without the difficulties often associated with wood.
Key features and materials include:
- Material Composition: A proprietary polymer composite that is engineered for superior durability and resistance to the elements.
- Moisture Resistance: The material's inherent composition prevents water absorption, thus resisting rot, decay, and insect infestation.
- Dimensional Stability: Products maintain their shape and size, resisting expansion and contraction due to temperature and humidity fluctuations.
- Workability: Easily cut, routed, and milled using standard woodworking tools, allowing for complex designs and detailing.
- Paintability: Can be painted with any high-quality latex or acrylic exterior paint, including dark colors, without the risk of excessive heat absorption and warping often associated with other composite materials.
- Impact Resistance: Designed to withstand impacts, reducing the likelihood of damage during installation and over the life of the product.
The manufacturing process is focused on creating a consistent and high-quality product. The polymer composite is extruded or formed into various profiles that mimic the appearance and feel of natural wood, but with enhanced performance characteristics. This allows homeowners and builders to achieve the aesthetic appeal of wood without the associated maintenance demands.
TruExterior products are designed to offer a long-lasting and low-maintenance exterior solution. The material's inherent properties mean that it will not rot, crack, or peel, significantly reducing the need for frequent repairs and repainting compared to traditional siding and trim materials.
