Steel Siding
THE POWERFUL PROTECTION OF STEEL
Built with pride in the U.S.A., Freedom Steel Siding creates the ultimate shield for your home. Each Galvalume® AZ-50 steel panel is virtually “weather-sealed” with a resilient Kynar PVDF finish, ensuring long-lasting beauty and protection.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE TENSILE STRENGTH
Tensile strength is the amount of stress a material can withstand and is measured in thousands of pounds of force per square inch (KSI).
- Ultimate Tensile Strength is the maximum force (tension, compression or shearing) applied to a material that results in material failure, such as cracking, splitting and deforming. Freedom Steel Siding UTS is 45,000 pounds per square inch.
- Yield Tensile Strength is the force (tension, compression or shearing) that is applied to a material and results in some type of material deformity; the material does not fail and it may return to its normal shape when the force is removed. Freedom Steel Siding YTS is 40,000 pounds per square inch.
UNMATCHED KYNAR PVDF COATING TECHNOLOGY
The power of Kynar PVDF stands clear: no other steel coating system resists the challenges of nature and time like those based on Kynar resins. Protecting and preserving the steel core, the resilient fluoropolymer resin provides a luxurious, low-gloss color that resists scratches, fading, chalking, pitting, chipping and more. Freedom Steel Siding’s proprietary coating also is specially formulated for enhanced texture.
- Highly durable and weatherable
- Fluorinated polymer pigments keep colors true and help prevent fading
- Low-gloss rating of 7 creates a beautifully strong finish with superior scratch resistance
- High-performance coating protects panels from staining and helps prevent dirt and other airborne pollutants from adhering to the siding
- Resists mildew and fungus growth – Kynar does not have UV-sensitive organic material needed for mildew growth
PREMIUM CRAFTSMANSHIP WITH MODERN PRACTICALITY
While Freedom Steel Siding’s impressive strength captures your attention, you’ll also appreciate the superior functionality and aesthetic appeal of this ultra-premium panel.
Heavy-Duty Construction Steel siding is virtually impervious to outdoor elements. Unlike wood, compressed particleboard or fiber cement, it won’t absorb moisture. Steel also resists warping, chalking, fading and brittleness in cold weather; independently tested to withstand hurricane-force winds, with wind speed exceeding 160 mph.
Resists Impact Constructed of roll-formed 29 gauge Galvalume AZ-50 steel for maximum resistance to hail damage and denting.
Smooth, Uniform Finish Tight joints keep overlaps neat and flat; rigid steel helps conceal imperfections in the exterior’s substructure.
Straight Wall Lines Rigid steel panels deliver high dimensional stability and resist buckling and the wavy appearance that can result from expansion and contraction caused by extreme weather changes.
The low thermal expansion is less than 1/8" over a 12' panel.Premium Appearance Deep 1/2" panel projection creates greater dimension and style with bold edges and dramatic shadow lines. The resilient PVDF finish resists dirt and dust buildup, staining and mildew.
Easy Upkeep No need for time-consuming painting or scraping. Just a simple rinse with a garden hose will remove most airborne dust and dirt to restore the like-new beauty.
Friendly to the Environment Steel siding is 100% recyclable, requires no additional painting or caulking and does not produce silica dust during installation.
Installation Ease Simple to install; unlike fiber cement, steel siding installation does not recommend a dust respirator or involve hazards from silica dust.
Resists Insect Nesting Resists damage from wood-eating insects, such as termites.
Class A Fire Rating Unlike many other siding materials, steel is a non-combustible product, meeting even the most stringent building codes.
A Lifetime of Protection Backed by a lifetime limited, non-prorated, transferable warranty with 50 year hail and 35 year chalk and color change protection – please see printed warranty for complete details.
