CertainTeed Cedarboards Vinyl Siding Contains 60 Percent Recycled Content

CertainTeed Cedarboards Vinyl Siding Contains 60 Percent Recycled Content

Highest recycled content of any siding product on the market, company says

News Release September 1, 2009 HousingZone.com

CertainTeed CedarBoards Double 6-inch Clapboard Insulated Vinyl Siding now contains 60 percent recycled material — the highest recycled content of any vinyl siding product currently on the market.

The announcement is the result of several partnerships forged by CertainTeed to develop a network of recyclers and a workable formula that meets the company’s stringent quality guidelines. Recycled materials, including scraps from job sites, vinyl siding distributors and other post consumer sources, are integrated into the manufacturing process and verified by a third party auditor on a quarterly basis. Ultimately, CertainTeed plans to work with its customers to develop a Cradle-to-Cradle program.

“This is wonderful news for CertainTeed and our customers, who will now earn even more points toward green building certifications by using this new CedarBoards siding product,” says Drew Brandt, marketing director for the CertainTeed Siding Products Group. “With its newly enhanced recycled content, CedarBoards D6 is one of the few cladding options available today that allow builders and designers to qualify for LEED-H, LEED-NC and NAHB green building credits for environmentally preferred products. This adds to the energy optimization credits CedarBoards products have provided from the beginning.”

Backed by extruded polystyrene insulation, CedarBoards Insulated Vinyl Siding improves the energy efficiency of homes by insulating continuously over framing where energy loss is greatest. Comprising up to a quarter of a home’s exterior, the wood studs of a traditionally insulated wood framed wall act as thermal bridges that allow more energy to pass through. CedarBoards breaks this thermal bridge and increases the overall thermal performance of the wall by up to 30 percent. The Double 6-inch profile is available in 12 and 16 feet, both with a 60 percent recycled content.

When used in conjunction with high-performance insulation products, such as CertainTeed fiberglass insulation batts, rolls and CertaSpray foam insulation, CedarBoards can help homeowners create wall systems that maximize the energy efficiency of their homes.

“Across the nation, so many homeowners are paying excessively high utility bills, due to poor energy efficiency in their homes,” Brandt adds. “CedarBoards can help reduce these energy bills and increase the overall R-value of a traditionally insulated wood-framed wall.”

In addition to the Double 6-inch Clapboard profile, CedarBoards is also available in Single 7-inch Clapboard, Double 4-inch Clapboard and Double 4-1/2-inch Dutchlap profiles. Molded from real cedar boards, CedarBoards has a natural rough-cedar texture and the flat-faced, straight-edged look of wide board wood siding. It is available in 18 colors and four styles, as well as two different panel lengths (12 feet, 6 inches and 16 feet, 8 inches), and with a full contingent of specially designed trim and accessories. CedarBoards is backed by a lifetime limited warranty with CertainTeed’s exclusive PermaColor Lifetime Fade Protection.

CertainTeed is an active member of the U.S. Green Building Council and the NAHB. The company has developed sustainability programs to continually improve processes to reduce energy and water consumption, carbon emissions and landfill waste. Cedarboards, along with 11 other CertainTeed products, was recently designated as Green Approved by the NAHB, giving building professionals an easy-to-use endorsement and reassurance these CertainTeed products support their green building initiatives.
