LP® SmartSide® Exterior Siding

The only thing that can rival timeless beauty is intelligence and innovation. But why can’t you have both? Celect Cellular Composite Siding by Royal® strikes the perfect balance of form and function so that you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

Out of every aspect of your home, siding is the most important feature in regards to overall aesthetic and energy efficiency. Homeowners throughout California prefer the look of authentic wood siding, but there are many drawbacks associated with wood. Over time, wood siding will warp in the sun and the panels will separate. What’s more is that this unsightly deterioration will leave your home vulnerable to dry rot, mildew, and cracking. Siding from Celect eliminates all of these problems while simultaneously furthering the appeal of wood siding.

Unlike other siding products, Celect’s patented interlocking joint system makes seams on the siding nearly invisible! Then the Kynar Aquatec solar reflective finish comes with a 25 year warranty and is impervious to rot and pests, maintenance free.

Cellular Composite Emulates Real Wood

Celect siding is constructed from a cellular composite that emulates the look and feel of real wood. Every cellular material used in the manufacturing process repels moisture and will stop damage from mold, mildew, and insects. To further protect this already resilient material Celect siding is also equipped with Kynar Aquatec® coating.

Kynar Aquatec® coating is built to endure any kind of weather or climate. This coating reflects UV light and sends unwanted heat back into the atmosphere. With less direct heat on your home you will notice a dramatic decrease in your heating and cooling bill. Unlike vinyl siding, Kynar Aquatec® coating can be stained or painted. So even if one of the 15 stock colors offered by Celect does not work for you, you can paint and repaint your house as you please.

Celect Siding Strong & Uniform

If you were to visually compare traditional siding with siding from Celect, you’d notice how the panels on Celect siding appear both stronger and more uniform. This is because Celect’s patented interlocking joint system makes seams on the siding nearly invisible. With this new technology, the boards will stay straight even as your home expands in the heat and constricts in the cold. You won’t experience any warping, you will not have to make expensive repairs, and your home will be as energy-efficient as the day you bought Celect siding.

Low Maintenance and Elegant Appearance

You may be thinking that such state-of-the art technology will require a lot of maintenance… Nothing could be further from the truth. Thanks to Kynar Aquatec Coating® you won’t need anything more than a garden hose to clean your house. Your new siding will not scratch, chip, or peel and you will never have to caulk the trim or mould again. To back up this guarantee all products from Celect include a 25 year warranty.

Celect Cellular Composite Siding is the best in the business, and we at Northwest Exteriors are excited to bring you their state-of-the-art technology. We want you to experience how intelligence and innovation can improve the timeless beauty of traditional wood siding. An investment in Celect siding does not stop giving back. By eliminating the cost of maintenance, reducing your energy bill, and increasing your home’s curb appeal your new siding will pay for itself. And all the while you can enjoy comfort from within your home and its elegant appearance from outside your home.
