Description:

Double 4" and Double 4.5" traditional as well as Dutchlap siding with the thinnest vinyl in the line at .040. A light woodgrain pattern is pleasing to the eye but like most panels in this price range there is really nothing to stand out here. Too think to warrant long term installation.

Pros

  • Strong Brand Recognition
  • Inexpensive

Cons

  • Thin not good
  • Washed out colors
  • No longer available however Norandex siding colors are a close match in many cases
