FI B E RO N CO M P O S I T E C L A D D I N G gives
homeowners an effective and eco-friendly way
to manage moisture in the building envelope.
The product—available in eight multitonal col-
ors that emulate natural hardwoods —consists
of a solid wood-composite core that prevents
splintering, cracking, insect infestation and
decay, and it features a four-sided cap layer
that resists staining and fading.
"We can give them the premium look of wood
with a warranty for aesthetics for up to 25
years, which wood can't approach," says Bill
Ross, sales director for Fiberon. "The product is
available in 12-, 16- and 20-foot lengths too;
wood is not available in 20-foot lengths, and
16-foot lengths are premium."
The manufacturer produces Composite
Cladding in two different styles: Horizon and
Symmetry. "Horizon has more of a stylized,
deep embossed graining, kind of like weathered
or sand-blasted wood," Ross says. "Symmetry
is actually a laser-etched embossing, so it is
extremely realistic."
"What differentiates these two products is they
are embossed on both sides, so they're abso-
lutely reversible," Ross explains. "Each side has
a different pattern to it, and that can help with
creating greater degrees of realism than what
would be common with most other products on
the market."
Fiberon cladding contains 94 percent recycled
content, which includes recycled plastics and
lumber mill scraps. No toxic chemicals or fin-
ishing products are used, and no carcinogens
are released during cutting.
