Alside ASCEND® Siding

The Perfect Balance Between Affordability and Performance

Choosing the right siding for your home is about finding the perfect balance between cost, durability, and visual appeal. Alside ASCEND® Composite Cladding offers homeowners a premium option that fits between standard vinyl siding and high-end choices like James Hardie fiber cement siding.

 

Available through Style Exteriors by Corley, ASCEND® provides the look of real wood with advanced technology that ensures longevity and minimal maintenance.

 

What is Alside ASCEND® Composite Cladding?

ASCEND® Composite Cladding is an engineered siding product that’s designed to deliver the warmth and texture of natural wood while offering superior durability and resistance to the elements. Made with Alside’s advanced (GP)² technology — a unique blend of glass-reinforced polymer and graphite-infused polystyrene — it provides outstanding strength, insulation, and longevity.

 

Unlike traditional wood or fiber cement siding, ASCEND® does not rot, swell, or require frequent repainting. It features a deeply grained cedar texture, a 7-inch flat face, and comes in a variety of colors, giving homeowners the ability to enhance their home’s curb appeal without the headaches of ongoing maintenance.

 

Why Homeowners Love ASCEND® Siding

ASCEND® Composite Cladding offers the perfect balance of beauty, durability, and affordability, making it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their exterior. Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, resist moisture, and require minimal maintenance, ASCEND® provides long-term protection without the hassle of frequent repairs. With its energy-efficient properties, fire resistance, and wide range of color options, this siding delivers both style and performance at a cost-effective price point.

 

Low Maintenance and High Durability

One of the biggest advantages of ASCEND® Composite Cladding is its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. It resists moisture, preventing common issues like warping, cracking, or mold growth. Homeowners don’t have to worry about repainting or sealing their siding, making it a stress-free choice for long-term home protection.

 

Energy Efficiency

ASCEND® siding enhances a home’s insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures. This can lead to lower energy costs, as the cladding provides an extra barrier against heat loss in the winter and excessive heat gain in the summer.

 

Fire Resistance

With a Class A fire rating, ASCEND® offers superior fire protection, giving homeowners added peace of mind. Unlike traditional wood siding, which is highly flammable, or vinyl siding, which can melt under extreme heat, ASCEND® provides a safer alternative.

 

Aesthetic Flexibility

Available in 20 different colors, ASCEND® siding allows homeowners to personalize their home’s exterior. Whether they prefer classic neutral tones or bold modern shades, this composite cladding offers versatile design options. Its wood-look texture adds depth and richness to any home’s exterior without the downsides of real wood.

 

Cost: The Middle Ground Between Vinyl and James Hardie Siding

One of the biggest selling points of ASCEND® is its pricing. For homeowners looking for an upgrade from traditional vinyl siding but without the high cost of James Hardie fiber cement siding, ASCEND® offers a great middle ground.

 

  • Vinyl Siding: The most budget-friendly siding option, typically ranging from $2 to $5 per square foot. While affordable, vinyl siding is not as durable or aesthetically refined as other materials.

  • James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding: A premium choice known for its durability and fire resistance, but it comes with a higher price tag. Installation costs can range from $4.70 to $8.50 per square foot, making it a significant investment.

  • Alside ASCEND® Composite Cladding: Positioned between these two options, ASCEND® typically costs between $6.50 and $9.50 per square foot. It offers a balance of affordability, durability, and high-end aesthetics, making it an attractive option for many homeowners.

For those considering an exterior upgrade, ASCEND® provides the best of both worlds — enhanced performance without the hefty price tag of fiber cement siding.

 

Easy Installation for Cost Savings

ASCEND® Composite Cladding is engineered for efficiency when it comes to installation. Its lightweight material and self-aligning stack lock system make the process quicker and more cost-effective compared to fiber cement siding. Since it doesn’t require specialized tools or multiple workers for handling heavy materials, homeowners can save on labor costs.

 

A Sustainable Choice

Beyond its performance benefits, ASCEND® siding is also an environmentally responsible choice. Its advanced material composition reduces waste and improves energy efficiency, making it a smart investment for homeowners looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
