Pre-primed Engineered Siding

Featuring a natural texture molded from cedar planks, CertainTeed’s new Icon siding panels are lighter and more flexible than fiber cement or wood, says the company. Engineered for moisture resistance, Icon’s thermoset polyurethane composite (which includes fly ash, glass fiber, and quartz) minimally expands and contracts, so panels can be butted tightly together, CertainTeed says. The panels’ “Stack Lock” design helps ensure they are aligned properly and hung securely. Icon siding comes in 12- and 16-foot lengths, primed and ready to paint, and is sold to contractors for approximately $230 per 100 square feet. certainteed.com
