Entry Description

ASCEND is the first composite cladding that combines beauty and performance for the best overall value. Its quick installation can be done by fewer laborers, and it requires virtually no maintenance.

ASCEND is sustainable for several reasons:
- (GP)² Technology®: superior performance in tests for wind load, thermal and impact resistance, workability and flame/smoke spread
- Insulating design enhances thermal performance, with an R-value of 2.0
- Lifetime warranty – cladding stays on the house, not in a landfill, and does not require repainting, which means less impact on global warming
