Cedar Impressions®
Cedar Impressions® is CertainTeed’s super premium siding.
Cedar Impressions is a family of cedar style shingles available in
three styles: Perfection Shingles, Rough-Split Shakes, and
decorative Half-Round Shingles. Used on the whole house or as
an accent, any one of these products provides dimension and
texture to any home.
Real Wood Appearance
It’s almost impossible to tell the difference between a real cedar
shingle and Cedar Impressions, yet the panels will not rot,
crack, split, or cup like real wood shingles. To underscore how
remarkably similar Cedar Impressions is to its wood
counterpart, consider how the product is made. Real cedar
shingles are used to create rubber molds. The pattern is
transferred onto a set of molds from which the Cedar
Impressions panels are manufactured, creating CertainTeed’s
TrueTexture™ finish.
Unique Construction
Cedar Impressions Perfection and Half-Round Shingles and
Rough-Split Shakes are suitable for just about any climate.
Thicker than standard lap siding and molded with color clear
through, Perfection and Half-Round Shingles have a 3/4-in.
panel projection, while our two Rough-Split Shakes panels have
1-in. panel projection. The high butt leg provides rigidity over
the length of the panel as well as a distinctive shadow line.
Molded ribs on the back of the panel provide structural stability
to help prevent warping and distortion. Unlike vinyl lap siding,
Perfection and Half-Round Shingles and Rough-Split Shakes
have a molded perimeter locking system that does two things:
It gives the installation a virtually seamless appearance from top
to bottom, end-to-end, and it enables the product to withstand
high wind load pressures. This accounts for the products’
popularity in the coastal, hurricane-prone states.
All Cedar Impressions panels are injection molded with durable
polypropylene and feature our TrueTexture finish. Five of the
panels feature the patented PanelThermometer™, which ensures
precise installation every time.
Distinctive Design
Cedar Impressions is recommended when design is important
because its three styles offer the possibility to achieve a
distinctive look. Like wood shingles, Cedar Impressions styles
can be interchanged to create a unique, decorative effect. Also,
all three styles can be installed with lap siding for a custom
look. These super premium panels are available in a wide
variety of popular colors, including CertainTeed Watercolors™
and our new Naturals™ wood-tone blends that offer the look of
semi-transparent stained cedar.

wood carpentry.

CedarBoards™ and CedarBoards™ XL
CedarBoards insulated siding is a complete wall system that
combines the low maintenance of vinyl siding with the energy
efficiency of rigid insulation.
Improved Appearance
The real beauty of CedarBoards siding lies in its ability to
smooth out small imperfections in the wall. When applied
over existing siding, CedarBoards will hide minor bumps
and valleys in the substrate and help eliminate the waviness
associated with hollow vinyl siding that has been applied
over improperly prepared substrate. Because it is foambacked,
CedarBoards also resists damage from hail and
everyday impacts.
Chosen by builders and remodelers as the #1 insulted siding in
performance and use, CedarBoards siding features a straight,
even face with a flat surface that resembles wide board wood
siding and a deep 3/4 in. straight-edge panel projection that
looks like newly sawn wood.
Improved Insulation
CedarBoards Insulated siding creates a thermal envelope that
protects from wind and weather. It can cut heat loss through
walls by as much as 22 percent and it helps block sound and
reduces exterior noise. Insulated siding will not contribute to
mold growth and has a 5.0 permeability rating, allowing water
vapor to escape.
Product Details
A .044 in. panel, CedarBoards insulated siding features a Select
Cedar texture and comes in four popular profiles: Double 4 in.,
Double 6 in., and Single 7 in. Clapboard, and Double 4-1/2 in.
Dutchlap. The panels feature CertainTeed’s patented
STUDfinder™ Installation System, DuraLock™ positive locking
system, and RigidForm™ rolled-over nail hem. Coordinating
wood-like accessories are also available.
Extra Long Panels
CedarBoards Insulated siding is also available in 16 ft. 8 in.
panels. Double 6 in. XL Clapboard and Single 7 in. XL Clapboard
can significantly reduce seams and speed installation.
A two-story, 20 ft.-wide wall clad with the longer panels will
have 40 percent fewer laps than a wall clad with standard
12 ft. 6 in. panels.
LEED and NAHB Points
CedarBoards Insulated siding can also earn LEED points as an
Energy STAR-rated product. Because of its 60 percent recycled
content, CedarBoards D6 in. Clapboard also qualifies as an
“Environmentally Preferable Product.”
Under the NAHB Green Building Standard, CedarBoards
Insulated Siding may qualify for points under “Energy/Cost
Performance” and “Building Envelope” criteria. CedarBoards
D6 in. Clapboard can also earn points for “Recycled Content.”

Wolverine® Restoration Smooth™
The look and finish of Restoration Smooth Siding date back to
the 17th Century. Harsh winters forced New World colonists to
develop solid wood siding called clapboards. These were cut
from oak, cedar, or white pine and planed on site. Nailed in an
overlapping pattern of 3 or 4-1/2 in. exposures, then sealed and
painted, clapboards created a weather resistant, eye-pleasing
wall. Restoration Smooth siding recreates that architectural style
in vinyl.
Restoration Smooth is available in Triple 3 in. and Double 4-1/2
in. Smooth Clapboard and Double 4-1/2 in. Smooth Dutchlap
profiles. Manufacturing innovations include:
• STUDfinder™ Installation System—Precisely engineered nailhem
graphics help installers find studs with greater accuracy.
• StormRoll™ Hem—A double-thick, .088 in. material gives
Restoration Smooth higher strength and rigidity for straighter
walls, long-lasting appearance, and outstanding wind
resistance.
• GripLock™—Panels snap securely in place for a more rigid,
straighter installation.

Monogram™ 46 and Monogram 46L
Monogram™ has the widest color selection in the industry. It
also has a stiff, double-thick .092" nail hem for a straighter onthe-
wall appearance and wind load performance of up to 220
mph with nails.
Premium Appearance with a Wood Look and
Virtually No Maintenance
Everyone compares the grain and texture of vinyl to the natural
look of painted wood. It’s the look homeowners know and
want. But for all its aesthetic attributes, wood siding can be an
expensive nightmare in terms of maintenance. Consequently,
homeowners look for low-maintenance, quality alternatives with
a premium appearance. Monogram 46 and 46L solids,
Watercolors™ and blends fill this need.
Unlike real wood, Monogram™ doesn’t cup, split, warp or twist.
There are no visible nail heads on the face of a Monogram™
panel, so there are no rust streaks. Finally, wood siding
typically requires painting every 3 to 5 years; vinyl siding
never needs painting.
Product Details
Monogram™ is available in Double 4 in. and Double 5 in. Rough
Cedar Clapboard and Double 5 in. Rough Cedar Dutchlap.
The TrueTexture™ rough cedar texture was created directly from
the source, real cedar clapboards. Monogram™ 46 features a
3/4 in. panel projection for added rigidity and deep shadow
lines. The CertiLock™ self-aligning post-formed positive lock
provides easy, self-aligning installation to help ensure that panel
courses match on adjacent walls.
Monogram™ also features the STUDfinder™ Installation System,
which combines precisely engineered nail slot locations with
graphics to help ensure quick, accurate, and secure installation.
The nail slots are positioned to allow for alignment with studs.
STUDfinder Installation System graphics are centered directly
under each nail slot. This provides a quick and easy guide to
fastening studs, which is the recommended and approved
installation method.
Monogram is installed with 3/4 in. receiving channel
accessories and is fully compatible with Vinyl Carpentry™
accessories and trim. Available accessories include 3-1/2 in.
and 5 in. decorative trim lineals, cornerpost, quarter round
accents, crown molding, corner block and rosette, and
cornice molding.
With traditional 12 ft. siding, seams appear every two to three
feet. Monogram 46L panels are preferred by installers because
they reduce the number of laps and speed installation. On a
two-story, 20 ft.-wide wall, a 16-ft. Monogram 46L panel will
contain 35 percent fewer laps. Using our 20 ft. Monogram 46L
panel on the same wall will eliminate the seams completely! For
greater flexibility and to reduce waste, Monogram 46L panels
can be mixed with traditional length Monogram 46.
Deluxe Colors
Monogram’s blend colors are actually multi-colored with the
streaked appearance of semi-transparent stained cedar siding.
The streaking pattern is subtle and consistent, and it doesn’t
have the harsh variations seen in competitive products. This
subtlety and a look that provides smooth joint transitions from
one panel to the next gives Monogram™ the virtually seamless
appearance that homeowners want.
Finally, Monogram™ vinyl siding has color that is processed
clear through, eliminating the possibility of film delaminition or
fading inks. Some competitive streaked products are made with
a thin film that can be scratched off and show a different color
substrate underneath.
Monogram™ siding is also available in Watercolors™, a refreshing
color palette that gives a summertime feeling all year long.

Premium Colors
All CertainTeed siding is manufactured using our exclusive
PermaColor™ color science technology. In the PermaColor
process, PVC resin, superior micro-ingredients, and state-of-theart
pigment chemistry combine to produce an array of rich,
durable colors. The premium colors, generally the darker hues
like Barn Red and Ivy Green, also use ASA/AES, highly durable
polymer capstocks compounded with heat distortion modifiers
to ensure long-term weatherability. The darker hues would
otherwise fail quickly, but ASA/AES,protects them from chalking
and excessive fading.
Another feature that differentiates Monogram from competitive
products is the color selection. Working with the prestigious
Color Marketing Group—an association of professionals
representing many different industries—CertainTeed developed
a palette for Monogram that reflects the latest consumer color
trends and color development and includes blended colors.

Board & Batten
Board& Batten vertical siding recreates the historic charm and
rustic cedar look of a centuries-old siding style originally
applied to log-built homes, barns, and other early American
structures. This siding was favored by early settlers to protect
and beautify homes and outbuildings. CertainTeed Board &
Batten vertical siding combines alternating wide and narrow
vertical panels in a simple, yet beautiful design well-suited to
this distinctive architectural style.
Aesthetic Appeal
Board & Batten’s 6-1/2 in. board and 1-1/2 in. batten create a
realistic natural cedar look. The flat face 6-1/2 in. board
maintains its straight, even face and flat surface, while the sharp
batten edge looks like finely crafted real wood.
Installation Advantages
A full 30 inches longer than competitive panels, CertainTeed’s
12 ft., 6 in. Board & Batten panels offer distinct installation and
aesthetic advantages. Seams and transitions can be eliminated in
walls up to 12 ft. 6 in. high, providing a smoother appearance.
For traditional-height walls, we also manufacture a 10 ft. panel.

Classic™
When architects and builders of the 1800s chose exterior
cladding, they meticulously selected narrow siding boards
that have stood the test of time. Classic recreates this classic
architectural style in vinyl: narrow siding boards and a smooth
painted-wood-like finish. The Select Cedar finish is a classic
woodgrain of the finest cedar available. The molds are made
from real cedar shakes. The finish gives the great look of
wood, a look that will please even the most discriminating eye.
Classic is available in our Select Cedar finish. There are three
traditional profiles: Double 4 in. and Double 5 in. Clapboards
and Double 4-1/2 in. Dutchlap.
All three feature DuraLock™, so panels snap together for easier
one-person installation. DuraLock also provides a more rigid,
straighter on-the-wall look.
Classic™ panels include the STUDfinder™ Installation System,
which combines precisely engineered nail slot locations with
graphics to create a siding panel that is designed to help ensure
quick, accurate, and secure installation.
