Owens Corning Essentials Ultra Premium – A good albeit overstated product

***Special Note:  Owens Corning no longer produces vinyl siding products.  Their Siding Solutions Business was sold to Saint-Gobain(The parent company to a main roofing competitor of theirs Certainteed)  however many homes still exist with their products on them today.  Home Depot used to carry the product line.***

Description:

We think Owens Corning went a little overboard calling this "Ultra Premium". It is a decent siding but nothing real special. Decent thickness and a heavy duty locking system but other than that nothing to write home about only available in Double 4" Clapboard or Double 5" Dutchlap. No Dark colors or insulation.

Pros

  • Reasonably thick
  • Good locking system for wind resistance

Cons

  • Overstated Quality
  • Limited Profiles
  • Dull Colors
