Made with Premium Raw Materials
Developing a tough, durable and beautiful vinyl siding such as Charter Oak requires the technical skills of a chemical process engineer and the visual sensibilities of an architect. That’s because the premium vinyl used in Charter Oak is more than just a simple vinyl resin. It’s a specially formulated compound, with each ingredient chosen to add specific benefits to the final product.
- PureStrength vinyl resin gives Charter Oak its basic strength and weather resistance. It prevents moisture infiltration from rain and humidity, so panels won’t rot, warp, shrink or swell. The result is low-cost, easy-care maintenance.
- Ti-Shield titanium dioxide helps prevent ultraviolet degradation, so even hot summer sun won’t damage Charter Oak’s beautiful surface.
- StayRight vinyl stabilizers also help prevent heat degradation, both during manufacturing and after installation.
- TrueShield impact modifiers give Charter Oak exceptional impact resistance, helping to prevent denting and dinging from routine around-the-house activities.
DesignersChoice pigment concentrates are used to produce beautiful high-performance color for every Charter Oak panel. You’ll never have to stain or paint again, because the color won’t wash away.
Innovative TriBeam System Provides Impressive Panel Rigidity and Superior Wind Resistance
Charter Oak™’s lasting beauty isn’t a result of just blending premium raw materials. Product engineers have created an exceptional design for Charter Oak that provides greater rigidity and resistance to high winds.
The unique TriBeam system fortifies Charter Oak’s rigidity, helping to ensure straight course lines and even walls, on both new and existing homes. The result is a markedly superior installation with the built-in strength to ensure an enduring beautiful appearance.
The TriBeam illustration above shows another feature that’s especially important if you live in an area where high winds are common. It’s a rolled-edge nail hem that gives Charter Oak its increased strength to resist the force of intense winds. This high-performance panel has been tested to withstand negative windload resistance per ASTM D5206 and meets or exceeds the industry standard for windload performance.
Beautifully Resistent
Charter Oak is substantially more rigid than the competition. Rigidity, as with Charter Oak panels, is important for long-lasting performance
and resistance to bending and sagging. Your home will have a beautifully uniform finish that stands the test of time. Charter Oak is available in Standard and Extended Length profiles.
