Taking Sides

There’s no shortage of cladding options for green homes. Here’s what to weigh when making your selections.

Soffit System
BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (12/14/2010)
The Stealth soffit system, made from cellular PVC, rounds out the manufacturer's collection of Stealth fascia and friezes. Designed to work in tandem with its elder cousins without flashing or additional groove-cutting, the soffit boasts a venting system that offers 10 inches of free airspace per foot and will keep insects away with a series of 1/8-inch grooves, the manufacturer states. It is available in 16-foot lengths at standard widths of 12 inches or 16 inches.

Flexible Corner Bead
BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (12/14/2010)
Featuring a polymer core with a built-in flexible hinge that conforms to inside and outside corners, the Flexible Corner Bead adjusts easily to all angles, allowing for quick finishing and straight lines while eliminating pre-measuring and pre-creasing. The corner bead also is abuse resistant, the firm says, so corners will not bruise, crack, or chip easily. Treated with a latex-permeated coating, the surface paper accepts finishes easily for smooth results. The product comes in 2 3/4-inch-by-100-foot rolls.

17th Century Bricks Collection
REMODELING Magazine (9/15/2010)
Created the "old-fashioned way," formed in a sand-dusted wooden box, no two bricks in the 17th Century Bricks collection are exactly alike. The solid bricks feature slight irregularities and a softer shape that mimics the 17th century look. Color variations and a velvety texture offer aesthetic and tactile appeal. Renewable sawdust waste materials are used in the firing process, and half of the maker's brick production is accomplished with alternative fuels

First Ever Vented Soffit in Cellular PVC is Here!
ebuild (8/26/2010)
Following the launch of our Stealth Fascia and Stealth Soffit earlier in the year, we have now completed the Stealth Soffit System with production of the first ever vented soffit offered in cellular PVC. These 1/2" thick boards come with a code exceeding 10" of free airspace per lineal foot, instantly making it one of the top airflow systems in the market today. These boards, also sold in a solid, are available in full 12" and 16" actual widths at premium 18' lengths, thus providing more coverage and fewer seams to improve aesthetics and speed of installation. Coupling these vented and solid soffit pieces with our Stealth Fascia and Stealth Frieze, both notched with a 9/16" pocket to accept these products, makes building a complete cellular PVC Soffit System easier than ever before.

The panels angled cells hold soil and plants in place while creating maximum green surface area, the maker says, and the overall design allows water to move downward through every cell in the panel. The 4-inch-deep panels mount directly to the wall or on a standalone frame. 866.306.7773.
