Composite Siding

With a selection of four different wall siding types that varies from common natural design to the ultra-modern or chic look, available in up to nine colours, we have the siding for your construction project.

Benefits of composite wood

Our engineered siding products are 100% recycled and protected by UltraShield Capping. This makes them extremely durable without any specific maintenance requirements. We are proud to bring to the Canadian market the best alternative to regular wood.

Safe inside houses and buildings

Our composite wood siding is safe for your health. Our products have been tested for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and formaldehyde, and do not produce harmful air particles according to those two international standard tests.

Engineered to last for years

All our siding panels and cladding boards are protected against moisture, mould, colour fading, and mildew. Tests on our products have shown an ability to even withstand the constant humidity of the salty British Columbia coastline, which means that your walls will keep looking good for a long, long time.

Helps fight global warming

Within every 10 sq2 of composite wood, there are 3,000 recycled plastic bags and over 1,000 one-gallon plastic jugs. This means that our boards and panels help keep at least 12 million pounds of extra plastic waste out of landfills every year.

Cladding boards and siding panels

Our cladding & siding may resemble our other products in terms of composition, for instance our decking boards. However, our siding panels are not just deck boards turned sideways — they feature a water seal specifically designed to prolong the longevity of a building.

FAQ

Siding

R

Our siding can be installed vertically, horizontally, and even diagonally.

R

In Canada, we only offer the brushed profile on our siding boards.

R

Yes, it’s possible. However, please note that in this case, the installation must be centered at 12 inches. Vent strips will also need to be installed according to your local building code.

R

Installation depends primarily on the local building code, which can vary by region. If permitted, the plywood must be at least 1 inch thick to properly support the weight of the cladding. It’s also important to use plywood, not OSB (Oriented Strand Board), as OSB does not offer the same strength or durability for this type of application. Lastly, we always strongly recommend installing furring strips to ensure proper ventilation and optimal siding performance.

R

They can be installed as two 16-foot boards end-to-end, for a total of 32 feet. Longer spans may result in noticeably visible gaps between boards. For horizontal installation, use a maximum of two 16-foot boards (32 feet total). For vertical installation, the upper board should not exceed 6 feet, with a combined maximum length of 22 feet (e.g., 16 feet + 6 feet).

R

No, not just through the siding—you need to go through the siding and into the joists themselves to ensure the weight is supported by the structural framing, not the siding. Since the siding is designed as a rainscreen system, it is not intended to bear any load.

R

No, NewTechWood siding is designed to function as a rainscreen and, as such, it provides a barrier against water but not complete waterproof protection. It should be installed in combination with a proper waterproof membrane.

R

Yes, this would be fine.

R

Please keep in mind that due to the natural expansion and contraction of our material, proper spacing must be incorporated during installation. When installing in colder temperatures, you should allow space for the boards to expand. Conversely, in warmer temperatures, you should install them in a way that allows for contraction. Allowing the boards to acclimate to their environment before installation is considered best practice. Here are the detailed expansion and contraction values:

R

We do not supply screws for the AW26 exterior siding clips (formerly AW08), as substrate types can vary from one project to another.

However, we can provide 1/2″ S505 stainless steel screws to help manage expansion/contraction, lock boards in place, or provide additional support.

We recommend using #8 stainless steel or galvanized screws with a penetration depth of 1″ to 1.5″ (enough to reach the substrate) and a pan head.

R

Our AW26 clips (formerly AW08) and T7 rubber stopper do not come with screws. We recommend using 1-inch #8 pan head screws with these components.
