Charter Oak® ...

made with only the very

best materials.

Developing a tough, durable and beautiful vinyl siding such as Charter Oak requires the technical skills of a chemical process engineer and the visual sensibilities of an architect. That's because the premium vinyl used in Charter Oak is more than just a simple PVC resin. It's a proprietary compound, with each ingredient chosen to add specific benefits to the final product.

PureStrength™ PVC resin gives Charter Oak its basic strength and weather resistance. It prevents moisture infiltration from rain and humidity, so panels won't rot, warp, shrink or swell. The result is low-cost, easy-care maintenance.

Ti-Shield™ titanium dioxide prevents ultraviolet degradation, so even hot summer sun won't damage Charter Oak's beautiful surface.

StayRight™ PVC stabilizers also help prevent heat degradation, both during manufacturing and after installation.

TrueShield™ impact modifiers give Charter Oak exceptional impact resistance, helping to prevent denting and dinging from routine around-the-house activities.

DesignersChoice ™ pigment concentrates are used to produce uniform colors that go clear through Charter Oak panels. You'll never have to stain or paint again, because the color won't wash away.

Charter Oak.
Technically, it's beautiful



The unique TriBeam™ system gives Charter Oak superior rigidity, helping to ensure straight course lines and even walls, on both new and existing homes. The result is an exceptionally beautiful installation with the built-in strength to maintain that outstanding appearance.

















The TriBeam™ illustration at left shows another feature that's especially important if you live in an area where high winds are common. It's a rolled-edge nail hem that gives Charter Oak superior ability to resist the shearing force of extreme winds. To define extreme, we put Charter Oak to anorher rest. The result: Charter Oak stayed nailed in place in winds reaching the intensity of Category 5 hurricane winds, rhe designation used by the National Hurricane Center to identify the most destructive storms.

The Classic Look of the American Home.


The quintessential American wood-sided home is distinguished by its details: the profile, or shape created by milling - the characteristic grain, or lack of it found in the wood - the depth-defining shadows produced by the underside of the boards. Rich details, authentic details are exactly what you'll find in Charter Oak.

All-American profiles. The traditional clapboard profile is an architectural standard, the most popular siding profile in America. Its clean, simple lines add rich appeal to any home, from grand Victorian to seaside contemporary. Or for an added dimension of interest and appeal, choose an elegant dutch lap profile, distinguished by its graceful cove detailing. Both are available in popular 4 ½" exposure widths.

Detailed or subtle surface texture. Some homeowners like the look of natural wood grain, and Charter Oak provides it with a detailed texture that looks and feels like the surface of quarter-sawn oak boards. Other homeowners like a softer matte surface, as if the boards had been planed rather than sawn. Charter Oak offers that option in the clapboard profile too.

The look of freshly applied paint. To produce the subtle luminosity that suggests a house has just been painted, Charter Oak uses a luxurious low-gloss finish. The look is real, the result is elegant, no matter what color you choose for your home.

Deep, realistic shadow lines. When the sun shines on a Charter Oak installation, you see the importance of realistic shadow lines. They define the individual siding courses, plus they add a dimension of depth. Because Charter Oak is made with a full ¼" butt (the thickness at the bottom of an exposure), its shadow lines are deep, bold and beautiful.

Charter Oak. Simply beautiful
Charter Oak gives you a rich palette of exterior design options starting with 14 elegant contemporary colors.


Using creative exterior design you can have the home that you've always wanted. 


The prominent overhang shielding this upper story window is made even more striking by the elegant, soaring lines created by Charter Oak vertical siding and Charter Oak soffit. The bold vertical lines also help offset the massive width of the window, creating a pleasing visual balance.



White siding, white trim. A lot of homeowners love that basic look. But to make your home stand out while also increasing its value, try adding decorative colors and accents to your design scheme. Charter Oak and Alside give you plenty of possibilities to work with.

Details, details.

It’s easy to create distinction and appeal - just focus on using details to emphasize your home's key architectural elements. What's possible? What options can you use? The accompanying photographs suggest just some of the many exterior design schemes that are possible.

Vertical siding.

Vertical siding offers a dramatic way to add interest to the dominant horizontal lines that characterize most homes. The vertical lines say, in effect, "Look at me; I'm important!" So if you want to accentuate main entrances, dormers or gable end walls, vertical siding is an excellent design choice.

Wide lineals.

Wide lineals by design, call attention to themselves. In the home upper right, for example, wide lineals accentuate the windows and gable trim. A horizontal band board adds emphasis, calling attention to the Architectural Shakes™ ornamental siding used to finish the upper wall.






Contrast provides another way to call attention to key architectural elements. An artful contrast of vertical and horizontal siding creates an almost cathedral-like impression at the home's main entry way (above).

Unvented Charter Oak soffit panels, used as a vertical siding, create a focal point above the main entrance. The vertical lines also interrupt long horizontal lines that could tend to make the home look "stretched out. "

 

 

Here's the difference color and accents can make to a home.

Two homes, different color, trim and accents. The details emphasize individual elements - doors, windows, prominent outside corners. And by doing so, they accentuate the home's unique architectural lines and style.

Want the same dramatic change for your home? Just focus on details. You're sure to love the results.
