CARY, N.C., May 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Underscoring
its commitment to innovation, Ply Gem® (NYSE: PGEM), the
leading North American building products manufacturer, introduces
the recently enhanced SolarDefense Reflective Technology™ used to
boost siding performance. Available exclusively on select vinyl
siding lines from Mastic by Ply Gem, the industry leader in siding
color science, SolarDefense provides superior protection from the
sun's harmful UV rays, while increasing curb appeal. This vinyl
protection technology is an advancement to the existing
patent-pending formulation that shields the darkest vinyl siding
colors from the sun with advanced light-reflecting properties and a
strong heat-resistant base layer. SolarDefense is backed by the
industry's only No Fade, No Distortion Promise and accompanying
limited lifetime warranty*. With SolarDefense, remodelers can
win in their markets by providing homeowners the best in vinyl
siding technology and colors backed by the best warranty
available.
The new siding technology utilizes a proprietary formula with
three protective layers. The top layer is designed to resist color
fading and oxidation, while allowing specific two-way light
transmission. The second layer is designed to aid in reflecting and
scattering specific light rays to keep the siding cooler when
exposed to the sun. An improved core layer has been reformulated to
withstand higher temperatures, helping safeguard against thermal
distortion. Coinciding with the redesigned technology, five bold
new colors have also been added to the SolarDefense portfolio,
rounding out the offering with 10 rich, designer-inspired hues in
dark blue, brown, red and gray shades.
"The launch of Ply Gem SolarDefense is prime example of our
continued commitment to innovation," said Delaina Lee, director, customer engagement, Ply
Gem Siding Group. "We already offer the industry's only No Fade, No
Distortion Promise, and we continue to build on the strength of
that promise through constant research and development efforts.
With SolarDefense, professional home remodeling contractors can
stay well ahead of the siding technology life cycle and provide
homeowners with low-maintenance, beautiful options on the exterior
of their homes for decades."
