Product Introductions: PolyAsh Siding
Manufacturers typically use industry trade shows to highlight new and recent product releases. Here are nine entries that caught our eye this October in Baltimore at The Remodeling Show/Deck Expo. For more new product releases, see our IBS/KBIS product review in the January 2015 issue.
When Boral’s True Exterior trim debuted in 2013, it launched a new material category—PolyAsh, a blend of recycled polymers and fly ash. Now the company has added siding. The TruExterior Siding Craftsman Collection offers a variety of authentic, full-thickness profiles with the look of wood siding. The composite has virtually no moisture cycling, and an expansion rate less than one-third that of PVC. Compatible with silicone or acrylic caulking, the material can be coated with acrylic latex paint.
