When it comes to vinyl siding, the most crucial component is strength-the ability to withstand the elements, especially in areas with high winds. As a contractor, it can be challenging to check both the durability and aesthetic boxes, but with Mastic Quest premium vinyl siding, you can have it all. Quest vinyl siding provides homeowners with a real-wood appearance that can stand up to strong winds and inclement weather. This premium vinyl siding features Tri-Linear Rigidity®, which provides 200% more rigidity than standard siding by enhancing stiffness in three critical areas. Continue reading to dive deeper into the engineering behind Quest’s Tri-Linear Rigidity and learn how it benefits contractors and homeowners.
Tri-Linear Rigidity combines three key features to create an extremely rigid panel that lies flat and straight while providing a standard wind-load design pressure of 64 pounds per square foot* and a wind velocity rating of up to 170 miles per hour.**
*An example of wind velocity for 64 PSF is 170 miles per hour for Zone B at a 30-foot building height.
**Tested in accordance with ASTM D5206. Wind velocity rating will vary depending on specific code region and construction method. Refer to local building codes.
The fold-over nail hem features a projected stop and provides a strong anchoring surface, ensuring Quest siding stays firmly in place, even when facing high winds.
The oversized panel provides extra rigidity and is distinctively angled to create straighter, deeper shadow lines.
The panels grip together for fast, easy installation, and a uniquely designed lock tightens under pressure to keep the siding in place during even the most challenging weather.
Enhances impact resistance and rigidity, contributing to higher wind ratings and improved weather resistance
Reduces the number of seams, creating a cleaner, straighter, more professional look with longer lengths of 16′ 8″ in Double 4″ and Double 4-1/2″ Dutch Lap.
Bolsters panel durability, increasing resistance to cracking, impact and thermal distortion.
Forms a protective coating with superior weatherability and color retention through an exclusive thermal bonding process.
Protects premium colors against harsh elements and maximizes long-term weatherability.
Provides the highest fire resistance rating, exhibits slow flame spread and produces low smoke if ignited.
