About Ascend Composite Cladding
INTRODUCING ASCEND® COMPOSITE CLADDING BY ALSIDE, A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND SOLUTION THAT COMBINES BEAUTY, PERFORMANCE AND EASY INSTALLATION FOR THE BEST OVERALL VALUE ON THE MARKET.
With tall exposures and the deeply grained look of real wood, ASCEND captures the high-end aesthetics today’s homeowners demand. And once installed, ASCEND doesn’t just perform... it lasts. And lasts. And lasts. Keeping that “just-installed” look for as long as it’s up, ASCEND requires minimal maintenance, day after day, year after year.
And that’s just the beginning of the new heights ASCEND reaches.
The Look of real wood.
The Performance of something better.
A Closer Look at Ascend Composite Cladding
ASCEND is the world’s first composite cladding engineered with a combination of Glass-Reinforced Polymer and Graphite-Infused Polystyrene. This patented (GP)2 technology was developed to achieve superior performance in tests for wind load and impact resistance, workability and flame/smoke spread. With (GP)2, ASCEND boasts:
IMPRESSIVE THERMAL
AND IMPACT RESISTANCE
CLASS A FIRE RATING
FOR BOTH FLAME SPREAD AND SMOKE DEVELOPED
SUPERIOR WIND LOAD
PERFORMANCE
ASCEND’s (GP)2 compound contains glass particles for added structural stability, strength and heat resistance, while titanium dioxide protects against ultraviolet degradation, and impact modifiers help resist dents and dings. (GP)2’s integral weatherable pigments provide strong fade resistance, even on ASCEND’s dark colors, and its non-moisture-absorbing materials prevent rotting, warping, shrinking and swelling.
