ROOFING, SIDING AND DECKING

CertainTeed Matterhorn

Metal Roofing

Among the most energy-efficient roofing options available today,
CertainTeed’s Matterhorn Metal Roofing replicates the architecture
and charm of traditional wood shake, slate and barrel tile roofing
while providing superior wind, fire and impact resistance.
Green elements abound: Matterhorn roofs, coated with a
PVDF Tri-Pigment Reflective Paint System, reflect more of the sun’s
rays than traditional roofing. This lowers roof surface temperatures
by 50 °F to 70 °F.
The roof’s ability to re-emit up to 89 percent of absorbed heat also
prevents excess warmth from escaping into the home. This reduces air
conditioning needs, lowers energy bills and improves indoor comfort. It
also cuts down on the generation of electricity—responsible for 29
percent of all greenhouse gases—and more than doubles the average
roof lifespan.
Roofs built with Matterhorn Metal Roofing have a useful life
expectancy of more than 50 years, eliminating the construction
waste that comes with replacing the average 20-year roof.
Matterhorn is also 100 percent recyclable. The product is available
in shake, slate and tile varieties.

James Hardie Aspyre Collection

James Hardie’s Aspyre Collection pairs two well-known home exterior product lines
and creates a unit that is stylish, durable and Earth-friendly. Custom builders and
architects can now use the thick, distinctive profiles of Artisan siding with the
smooth, geometric Reveal Panel System to develop traditional to ultra-modern
housing styles.
With Artisan siding, homeowners, builders and architects can expect the
performance and durability of fiber cement with the traditional look of cedar. Unlike
wood-based siding products which may rot, curl, warp or split from exposure to
moisture, Artisan siding resists the harshest weather conditions. The product’s
5/8-inch thickness and unique features provide a precise fit and finish, as well as
the freedom to miter corners for attractive, streamlined styling.
The Reveal Panel System is a customizable system of durable, 7/16-inch-thick
high-grade panels, trims and fasteners that can result in clean, simple lines that
give homes a modern aesthetic. The panels are engineered for climate and are
specifically formulated to stand up to the extreme weather conditions wherever
they are installed.
The Aspyre Collection’s manufacturing process relies on natural, sustainable raw
materials that are low in toxicity. At least 75 percent of the raw materials used are
locally sourced, and James Hardie’s manufacturing facilities work to reduce the
environmental impact caused by transportation of finished materials. Fiber cement
is engineered for long life and resistance to damage from long-term exposure to
water, heat and UV radiation. The company’s products are also performance tested
in two separate climate zones—an industry one-of-a-kind effort.
