Best protection from the sun
The sun’s intense heat and UV rays can take a toll on home exteriors causing colors to fade over time. Dark panels absorb more of the sun’s damaging rays, which can lead to distortion. Ply Gem’s SolarDefense technology provides next-generation protection from the sun with a new, breakthrough color formula, advanced light reflecting properties, and an even stronger, heat-resistant base layer. It’s all backed by Ply Gem’s No Fade, No Distortion Promise.
Discover our advanced technology
Instead of absorbing the sun’s heat, our darkest colors are engineered to resist fading and heat distortion better than ever. Our tough UV-stable polymer stands up to damaging rays while new cooling compounds scatter more light to reflect more heat away from the siding and keep panels cooler even on the hottest days.
Advanced protection against heat
Our proprietary reflective materials help prevent heat absorption and distortion.
Advanced protection against fading
Our tough UV-stable polymer resists chemical breakdown and reflects damaging rays.
Advanced protection on the molecular level
The outer surface, color pigments, and substrate are molecularly bonded to create a durable, long-lasting panel.
