It's time to elevate your home's exterior with Ascend Cladding. This innovative siding option brings superior quality and cutting-edge technology to your doorstep. As a pioneering solution, Ascend Cladding revolutionizes your siding options, enhancing the aesthetics and durability of your home's exterior.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • ASCEND composite cladding is revolutionizing the home improvement industry.
  • Alside uses patented technology to combine glass fibers, polymers, graphite and polystyrene to manufacture innovative ASCEND Composite Cladding.
  • This sturdy, insulated cladding has distinct advantages over fiber cement siding and engineered hardwood: it’s easier to maintain, has a better warranty, provides better insulation and durability, and takes less time to install.

Ascend Cladding is more than just a sleek, modern design. It offers unmatched protection against harsh weather conditions, giving your home the armor it needs all year round. Additionally, Ascend Cladding's low-maintenance nature ensures you can enjoy a stunning exterior without the burden of constant upkeep.

At Sears Home Services, our skilled team simplifies the installation process, giving your home a flawless finish. Say goodbye to outdated siding options and embrace the future of home improvement with Ascend Cladding.

Why Ascend Cladding is the Perfect Choice

When it comes to upgrading your home exterior, Ascend Cladding is the preferred choice. Its robustness, longevity, and variety of color options distinguish it from traditional composite siding options. Designed to endure extreme weather conditions, Ascend Cladding provides peace of mind that your home's exterior will last.

Alside uses patented technology to combine glass fibers, polymers, graphite and polystyrene to manufacture innovative Ascend Composite Cladding. This sturdy, insulated cladding has distinct advantages over fiber cement siding and engineered hardwood: it's easier to maintain, has a better warranty, provides better insulation and durability, and takes less time to install.

Lower Maintenance

Because Ascend Cladding is fabricated in 20 fade-resistant colors, you never need to paint it. On the other hand, fiber cement siding and engineered hardwood need painting about every 10 years. With Ascend, you save thousands on maintenance.

As for cleaning, rain does most of the work. You just need to rinse areas not exposed to rainfall with a garden hose to keep your cladding looking like new.

Longer Warranty

Alside provides a lifetime non-prorated warranty on its sturdy Ascend Composite Cladding. The leading manufacturers of fiber cement siding and engineered hardwood offer warranties of 50 years or less and are prorated, so if you have a claim, you are only reimbursed for a portion of the replacement cost.

And there’s a catch with fiber cement: The warranty is void if fiber cement siding is installed incorrectly—and because fiber cement is difficult to install, there’s a chance the installation won’t meet the manufacturer’s standards.

Better Insulation

Ascend Composite Cladding provides a better thermal barrier around your home. Graphite-infused polystyrene helps Ascend Cladding achieve an insulation R-value of 2.0. By comparison, fiber cement siding and engineered hardwood have R-values of less than 0.5.

Superior Durability

Ascend Cladding’s moisture-resistant properties keep its panels from warping, rotting, shrinking and swelling. Engineered hardwood and fiber cement siding don’t have the same moisture protection, so they don’t last as long or protect your home as well as Ascend Cladding.

Ascend Composite Cladding also has impact modifiers that make it resistant to dents and dings. It’s rated to withstand up to 1-inch hail. Ascend Cladding’s innovative panel design achieves a wind resistance rating of 180 mph. And it has a Class A fire rating.

The Beauty of Wood

Of course, the benefits of Ascend Cladding would be moot if it didn’t look good. Fortunately, the authentic wood grain look of Ascend Cladding will fool even your nosiest neighbors. The 7-inch-tall Ascend planks look and feel like cedar siding, giving your home an appealing aesthetic that boosts its curb appeal.

Ascend Composite Cladding is available in 20 designer-inspired colors, so you can customize your home’s style. And the weather-resistant pigments are so fade resistant that Alside provides lifetime limited fade protection for Ascend.

The vast selection of color options allows you to find the perfect match for your home's style. With Ascend Cladding manufactured by Alside, the era of dull composition siding is over. Welcome a contemporary look that enhances your home's charm.
