Top Ten Reasons CertainTeen Is #1

Rated #1 By Building Professionals
CertainTeed Vinyl Siding has been the building professionals' #1 choice for 6 years in a row according to every major trade publication brand study. These independent surveys include architects, designers, builders and remodelers.

The widest Selection of Colors
Offering more colors than any other manufacturer, CertainTeed was the first to introduce unique, darker shades - now with over 17 years of proven field performance. Made with the exclusive PermaColor™ System, a blend of our own Certavin™ resin or Thermoplastic Polyolefin, superior micro-ingredients and state-of-the-art pigment chemistry to help ensure performance, impact resistance and durability.

Monogram™ - The #1 Premium Siding In The Industry
Mongram™ offers more value-added features than any other siding in both traditional and longer-length panels and is the premium category volume leader. Monogram™ not only remains the undisputed color champion, but was the pioneer for performance attributes including the STUDfinder™ Installation System, RigidForm™ rolled-over nail hem, and self-aligning CertiLock™, to mention only a few. Monogram™ is the standard to which other sidings are compared.

Cedar Impressions® - The #1 Choice For Cedar Shingle Siding
Cedar Impressions® is the industry benchmark for cedar shingle siding and the #1 choice of building professionals. It was the first product designed to replicate perfection-style shingles utilizing a direct transfer system from real cedar boards for authentic texture. With three styles in a wide array of colors, including deep dark shades, and outstanding performance features, Cedar Impressions® remains the best-looking product of its kind on the market.

STUDfinder™ Installation System
STUDfinder™ (patent-pending) is the only system in the industry engineered with an integral installation guide on every panel, designed for fast, accurate and secure installation. Nail slots align with construction standards of 16" and 24" on center, with indicator letters centered under each nail slot, making it easy to locate studs. Secure fastening to studs helps optimize siding performance, as well as avoiding the dangers of driving a nail into electrical wiring, plumbing or mechanical systems in the wall cavity. STUDfinder™ is featured on all traditional CertainTeed sidings and has tested up to 25% faster to install than ordinary vinyl siding.

High Wind Performance At Every Price Point
CertainTeed is the only manufacturer to offer exceptional wind load performance at every price point. Monogram™ has been tested to withstand wind load pressures up to 180 mph with nails and 235 mph with staples. MainStreet™ up to 160 mph with nails and 180 mph with staples, and Hamilton Park® up to 135 mph with nails and 160 mph with staples. Through proprietary RigidForm™ (rolled-over nail hem) technology, CertainTeed was the first to offer siding designed to perform in high winds.
