The Ply Gem portfolio of vinyl siding brands are crafted to enhance aesthetics while supporting environmental sustainability. All products are engineered for energy efficiency, durability, and minimal maintenance, reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. In fact, a recent Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability (BEES) study determined that vinyl and insulated vinyl siding achieve a better Environmental Impact Score (EIS) than other cladding materials, such as wood cedar board, fiber cement, and brick and mortar.
The Ply Gem portfolio of brands & solutions integrates advanced technology with energy efficiency and sustainability in options such as the Mastic Structure® Home Insulation System™, Mastic Western Extreme™ Vinyl Siding and Mastic SolarDefense Reflective Technology™.
Mastic Structure Home Insulation System limits temperature transfer to keep homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. High insulating power lowers energy bills, shrinks your carbon footprint, and reduces noise. Expanded Polystyrene Foam insulation and rigid substrate add strength, improve impact resistance, and increase the R-value of exterior walls, helping save energy year-round.
