New Shingle Siding Brings "Perfection" to Homes with Harmonious Balance of Texture and Color

April, 2009 -- The perfect formula now exists for homeowners, builders and remodelers looking for distinctive siding that can deliver the authentic look of weathered cedar, complete with variegated coloring and distinct wood grain texture, but without the need to paint or perform annual maintenance.

The Classic Perfection Shingle™ from The Foundry® is premium vinyl siding that balances unique design, uniform texturing and bold color definition. It's the perfect marriage between The Foundry's traditional Shingle, which is a naturally-textured flat surface featuring random saw marks, and its Split Shake, which offers a more rough-hewn look that illustrates the deep contrast of light and shadow.

The Foundry's New Classic Perfection Shingle

The Classic Perfection Shingle offers a well-defined profile texture to showcase the richness of the Foundry's Weathered Collection, which provides the authentic, nuanced appearance of cedar siding that has weathered over time. Panels feature a darker shade of a color in the grain, and a lighter one on the higher points, just as wood siding would naturally weather.

The classic weathered look is balanced with consistency in the Classic Perfection Shingle. Its surface offers wood graining with crisp vertical lines that set off peaks and valleys in a very uniform style. The butt ends of these shingles are also aligned to maintain the uniform appearance.

The result is an authentically-natural and harmonious look that has a hint of ruggedness. The wide array of Foundry Weathered Collection colors, which ranges from subtle and creamy to dark and dramatic, brings variegated hues to maximize curb appeal.

And when it comes to real weathering, the Classic Perfection Shingle's ASA cap provides enhanced durability and color richness that won't fade. This new shingle line also offers the peace of mind of a Class 1A fire rating and carries the strong limited lifetime homeowner's warranty that backs all Foundry Shakes and Shingles.
