Cedar Impressions Naturals

CertainTeed Corporation introduces Cedar Impressions Naturals to its line of polymer shake siding products. Featuring the authentic look of cedar wood treated with a semi-transparent stain, Cedar Impressions Naturals emphasize rugged textures, revealing deep shadows and highlighting subtle variations in color. "For a homeowner looking to bring the bold sweeps of nature's textures and colors to life, Cedar Impressions Naturals is the perfect cladding," says Phyllis Vail, director of marketing communications for CertainTeed's Siding Products Group. "The colors of Cedar Impressions Naturals create a look of distinction and rustic beauty for an entire home or smaller accent area."

Cedar Impressions Naturals is available in Double 7-inch Straight Edge Perfection Shingles, with additional styles slated for a later introduction. Made of durable injection molded polypropylene, it is designed with a TrueTexture finish molded from real cedar shingles for an authentic look. Cedar Impressions Naturals is offered in three beautiful shades; Cedar Blend for the look of fresh-cut cedar; Rustic Blend, for an aged cedar appearance, and Driftwood Blend designed to replicate weathered wood.

The patented PanelThermometer is featured on all Cedar Impressions siding. This feature displays panel temperature for accurate installation. The panels are also designed for straight-up installation for easier and faster applications, QuickReference nail mark indicators for correct nailing and a Molded Perimeter Lock that holds panels securely together while creating a seamless look.

In addition, Cedar Impressions has reinforcing ribs on nail slots and lock tabs for improved strength. Ribs on the back of the panels provide structural stability for added protection against warping, cupping and/or distortion.

Cedar Impressions is virtually maintenance-free, never needs painting and carries a lifetime, limited warranty. The family of Cedar Impressions products includes six styles and a designer color palette, including both dramatic dark hues and lighter WaterColors.
