Groundbreaking Polymer Shingle Siding to Debut at Remodeling Show

The Remodeling Show was here (Oct. 1-2 at the Chicago Navy Pier Expo Hall), and CertainTeed Corporation was ready to dazzle with the unveiling of revolutionary Cedar Impressions Individual Sawmill polymer shingles plus an expanded line-up of live clinics and demos. Now combined with DeckExpo and JLC LIVE, the Remodeling Show is one of the residential construction industry's largest national events. Cedar Impressions Individual 5-inch Sawmill Shingles, the show's big siding product premier, is an industry first that authentically captures the beauty of natural cedar like never before. Made of injection molded durable polymer with Color Blends throughout, the shingles replicate natural Eastern White and Western Red Cedar at various life stages. CedarLife colors honor the natural aging process of cedar by offering four color families and a progression of shades within each. This enables unique, random color patterns for one-of-a-kind exterior designs.

Individual 5-inch Sawmill Shingles install like real cedar shingles, and the patent-pending color-through variegated design with TrueTexture sawmill finish assures that shades and patterns will remain gorgeous for decades —without the upkeep. Moreover, the .090-inch thick shingles are designed and tested to withstand hurricane force winds, never need painting or staining and are backed by a lifetime limited warranty.

"With more than 110 years of experience in the industry, CertainTeed knows firsthand that product innovation and education go hand in hand, and we're excited to take that commitment to the next level this year." said Mara Villanueva-Heras, vice president of corporate marketing for CertainTeed Corporation. "Our new 'have-to-see-it-to-believe-it' polymer cedar shingle and our dynamic installation clinics are further evidence that we stand behind our construction industry partners' success every step of the way."
