Description:

This is a solid mid tier choice for vinyl siding. It is a thick .044 panel at standard 12' 6" length. Available in standard clapboard and dutch-lap profiles for a classic look. Centerlock features a unique in the industry mid panel (where to two 4.5" sections intersect locking system. This creates a flush to the wall look which helps minimize the appearance of seams. Where standard panels simply overlap with a notch out for the nailing hem, Centerlock has a positive interlock binding adjacent panels together. With a decent color selection and a lifetime warranty you won't be disappointed. A solid contender is not buying an insulated panel.

Pros

  • Unique Mid Panel Interlock Patented Design
  • .044 thickness
  • Lifetime Warranty
  • Classic look and feel

Cons

  • Somewhat limited color selection
  • Only available in Double 4.5" Clapboard and Dutchlap for profiles
  • Non-insulated panel UPDATE = available with insulated backerboard now matching profile.
  • No Extended lenth options (doesn't matter as much with Centerlock as seams are minimized)
