Encouraging sustainability in construction

By Jesse Sanchez. 

Siding solutions get a sustainable edge, offering a greener choice for home exteriors. 

In a significant step toward more eco-friendly building solutions, CertainTeed, a leading North American manufacturer of sustainable construction materials, has announced a strategic partnership with RISE®. This move promises a new era in siding and trim offerings that meet both environmental and aesthetic demands. 

The highlight of this collaboration is the RISE by CertainTeed line, a collection of siding and trim products crafted from high-quality synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon and fiberglass. These materials offer durability, affordability and low maintenance, all while closely resembling the elegance of natural wood. RISE products are created with 94% recycled materials, demonstrating CertainTeed’s commitment to sustainability. The line also boasts a variety of finishes and color options, including two-toned designs, making it easy to match diverse home styles. 

Adding to the allure is a 30-year warranty, showing the long-term reliability of RISE products. As residential and commercial builders look for cost-effective yet stylish options, RISE products stand out as a sustainable and visually appealing alternative to traditional wood. 

Further strengthening its eco-friendly credentials, CertainTeed has achieved a groundbreaking milestone as the first company to receive third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for several product categories, including Traditional Vinyl Siding, Insulated Siding and Polymer Shake. The company has also secured an additional EPD for its Cellular PVC Trim category. These achievements reinforce CertainTeed’s leadership in sustainable, lightweight construction materials. 

For those following developments in green construction, this partnership represents an intriguing advancement. As CertainTeed continues to pioneer solutions that reduce environmental impact, the industry is poised to benefit from innovations that don’t compromise on design or performance.
