When it comes to upgrading your home’s exterior, choosing the right siding is crucial. Among the many options available, composite siding stands out for its durability, aesthetics, and low maintenance. However, not all composite siding is created equal. Ascend Composite Siding by Alside offers unique benefits that set it apart from other common composite options like fiber cement and engineered wood. Let’s explore why Ascend is the superior choice for homeowners.

The Ascend Advantage

1. Exceptional Moisture Resistance Unlike fiber cement and engineered wood, Ascend Composite Siding is engineered to resist moisture absorption. This feature prevents issues like warping, swelling, and rotting that are common in other materials.

2. Superior Insulating Properties Ascend’s unique construction includes built-in insulation, which improves your home’s energy efficiency. This additional layer of insulation reduces heat transfer, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Fiber cement and engineered wood siding typically lack this level of thermal performance, making Ascend a more energy-efficient option.

3. Industry-Leading Warranties Ascend Composite Siding comes with better warranties compared to other options, offering homeowners peace of mind. With a Class A fire rating and exceptional durability, manufacturers back Ascend with comprehensive, long-term warranties that cover both performance and appearance.

4. Low to No Maintenance One of the most appealing features of Ascend Composite Siding is its minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike fiber cement, which often needs repainting, or engineered wood, which requires periodic sealing, Ascend retains its color and appearance without extra upkeep. Simply rinse it occasionally with water to keep it looking like new.

5. Superior Performance in Tough Conditions Ascend is designed to withstand even the harshest environments. The Class A Fire rating offers the highest possible fire resistance rating, providing unmatched protection compared to other composite siding materials. Additionally, Ascend is engineered to endure winds of up to 180 mph and offers protection against hail damage, making it an excellent choice for homeowners in regions prone to extreme weather conditions. 

6. The Look of Wood Without the Drawbacks Ascend Composite Siding delivers the timeless beauty of natural wood without the hassle. Its authentic woodgrain texture enhances curb appeal, while its advanced material construction eliminates common wood issues like rot, pests, and fading.
