MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--If you’re thinking about replacing the siding on your home, there’s now a new, higher performance category of home siding to consider instead of top-of-the-line fiber cement or vinyl siding. Pultruded fiberglass siding and trim is a new, premium class of siding and trim originally developed for homes located in parts of the U.S. and Canada that experience some of the most extreme weather conditions in North America. Extreme heat, extreme cold, high humidity, saltwater, and major storm systems such as blizzards are no match for APEX siding and trim featuring Ultrex® pultruded fiberglass technology. With an expected life of 50 years or more, APEX siding and trim offers incredible, lasting beauty and is an environmentally friendly, low maintenance, impact resistant alternative to fiber cement, wood and vinyl siding. Available in ten rich and enduring colors, in two widths, 4-inch and 7-inch, and in either a smooth or wood grain finish, APEX siding and trim can be used in a variety of residential architectural styles. APEX siding and trim, an affiliate of Marvin Windows and Doors, is made with Ultrex pultruded fiberglass, a patented proprietary material pioneered by Marvin® that has been a key component in the manufacture of award-winning Integrity® and Infinity® lines of windows and doors for more than 20 years. In every critical performance category -- appearance, durability, strength, extreme temperature resistance, water management, cost of ownership and sustainability -- APEX siding and trim outperforms vinyl, wood, steel, aluminum and fiber cement. It offers the look of freshly painted wood without the headaches and hassles of maintaining fiber cement or wood, such as caulking and painting. It is stronger than fiber cement, and its acrylic finish is four-times thicker than paint applied to fiber cement or wood, so it resists chipping, splintering, fading and warping. APEX siding and trim will never need to be repainted – ever.
