New Almond Color Vinyl Privacy Fence from CertainTeed Expands Color Selection for Cutting-Edge Stucco Alternative

May, 2009 -- CertainTeed Corporation delivers greater design flexibility with the addition of a neutral color, Almond, to its line of Chesterfield with CertaStucco™ vinyl privacy fence. Featuring traditional stucco styling in an economical easy-care design, the Almond fence seamlessly coordinates with deck, railing, siding and trim colors, while also complementing stone and brick exterior finishes.

Chesterfield with CertaStucco, a cutting-edge stucco alternative, doesn't crumble, peel, chip or crack due to settlement and will not stain like traditional stucco fences. It's virtually maintenance-free and never needs painting. It is easy to install, with less impact on homeowners since there's no mess or cost involved with digging a foundation or applying a finish.

"Homeowners like customizing their exterior siding or outdoor living areas, and with a low-maintenance alternative to stucco like Chesterfield with CertaStucco, there are no added repairs or expenses."

Chesterfield with CertaStucco is also available with CertainTeed's exclusive WindZone™ design, for exceptional performance in high wind conditions. Along with Almond, it is also available in Mission Ivory.

Chesterfield with CertaStucco is backed by CertainTeed's outstanding lifetime limited warranty with SureStart™ protection, which covers warranted repair and replacement costs for five years after installation.
