Alside, a renowned manufacturer and distributor of exterior building supplies, has expanded its revolutionary composite cladding line with the introduction of ASCEND 12″ Board & Batten. Board & Batten is a popular vertical profile, and this first-of-its-kind solution combines high-end aesthetics with ease of installation and a low total installed cost, creating compelling value for remodelers, installers, builders, and homeowners.
ASCEND Board & Batten is designed to fulfill the sophisticated interests of homeowners through its visual and remarkable architectural appeal as an accent or entire-house façade. This adaptable alternative is suitable for both classic and modern homes, with an accurate 12″ wide profile width, a convenient ¾” panel projection, and two texture options: woodgrain or matte. This product blends the natural appearance of wood with the high-performance composite technology of the ASCEND Composite Cladding system. This unique siding solution, available in 20 trendy and fade-resistant hues, allows homeowners to mimic the timeless beauty and charm of real wood without the expensive maintenance and repair expenditures.
“The vertical orientation of ASCEND Board & Batten is perfect for highlighting architectural features or adding a touch of elegance to any home,” stated Shawn Hardy, EVP & General Manager, Product and Marketing, Associated Materials. “It’s an enticing option for remodelers, builders, and homeowners trying to create a unique and timeless design for their projects. Board & Batten combines old craftsmanship and modern innovation, providing the best of both worlds.”
The Board & Batten style is not only visually pleasing but also offers practical advantages for expert installers, such as:
- Single-step installation – integrated batten strip saves time compared to fiber cement battens, which must be individually affixed, filled in to cover unattractive visible fasteners, and then painted.
- Lightweight and easier to manage than fiber cement and engineered wood; no massive, heavy, awkward panels
- Lower overall installed cost – may save 10% or more with less time and fewer laborers required.
- No special tools, skills, or respirators are necessary; no sealing, joint flashing, caulking, or touching up.
- Forgiving hang covers uneven surfaces, while self-aligning interlock ensures a constant appearance.
- (GP)2 Technology enhances structural integrity by resisting high winds, dampness, and impact damage from dents and dings.
ASCEND Board & Batten is compatible with a wide range of trim options and comes with a lifetime limited, transferable warranty.
