The most popular Charter Oak® siding can be selected in one of two profiles: clapboard or dutch lap, with oak grain or smooth matte finish.

All-American profiles. The traditional clapboard profile is an architectural standard, the most popular siding profile in America. Its clean, simple lines add rich appeal to any home, from grand Victorian to seaside contemporary. Or for an added dimension of interest and appeal, choose an elegant dutch lap profile, distinguished by its graceful cove detailing. Both are available in popular 41/2" exposure widths.

Clapboard profile: Exclusive Features: TriBeam® Design Nail Hem: Fully rolled-over Exposure: Double 4-1/2" Projection: 3/4" Thickness: .046" (nominal) Texture: Richly detailed oak grain or matte finish Colors: Oak grain 25; Matte 16
Dutch lap profile: Exclusive Features: TriBeam® Design Nail Hem: Fully rolled-over Exposure: Double 4-1/2" Projection: 3/4" Thickness: .046" (nominal) Texture: Richly detailed oak grain Colors: 25

Detailed or subtle surface texture. Some homeowners like the look of natural woodgrain, and Charter Oak provides it with a detailed texture that looks and feels like the surface of quarter-sawn oak boards. Other homeowners like a softer matte surface, as if the boards had been planed rather than sawn. Charter Oak offers that option in the clapboard profile too.

Deep, realistic shadow lines. When the sun shines on a Charter Oak installation, you see the importance of realistic shadow lines. They define the individual siding courses, plus they add a dimension of depth. Because Charter Oak is made with a full 3/4" butt (the thickness at the bottom of an exposure), its shadow lines are deep, bold and beautiful.

Made with only the very best materials.

Developing a tough, durable and beautiful vinyl siding such as Charter Oak requires the technical skills of a chemical process engineer and the visual sensibilities of an architect. That’s because the premium vinyl used in Charter Oak is more than just a simple vinyl resin. It’s a proprietary compound, with each ingredient chosen to add specific benefits to the final product.

• PureStrength™ vinyl resin gives Charter Oak its basic strength and weather resistance. It prevents moisture infiltration from rain and humidity, so panels won’t rot, warp, shrink or swell. The result is low-cost, easy-care maintenance.
• Ti-Shield™ titanium dioxide prevents ultraviolet degradation, so even hot summer sun won’t damage Charter Oak’s beautiful surface.
• StayRight™ vinyl stabilizers also help prevent heat degradation, both during manufacturing and after installation.
• TrueShield™impact modifiers give Charter Oak exceptional impact resistance, helping to prevent denting and dinging from routine around-the-house activities.
• DesignersChoice™ pigment concentrates are used to produce uniform colors that go clear through Charter Oak panels. You’ll never have to stain or paint again, because the color won’t wash away.

Exclusive TriBeam® System provides unsurpassed panel rigidity and superior wind resistance.

Charter Oak’s lasting beauty isn’t a result of just blending premium raw materials. Product engineers have created a superior – and exclusive – design for Charter Oak that provides exceptional rigidity and extraordinary resistance to high winds.

The unique TriBeam system gives Charter Oak superior rigidity, helping to ensure straight course lines and even walls, on both new and existing homes. The result is an exceptionally beautiful installation with the built-in strength to maintain that outstanding appearance.

The TriBeam illustration above shows another feature that’s especially important if you live in an area where high winds are common. It’s a rolled-edge nail hem that gives Charter Oak superior ability to resist the shearing force of extreme winds. To define extreme, we put Charter Oak to another test. The result: Charter Oak stayed nailed in place in winds reaching the intensity of Category 5 hurricane winds, the designation used by the National Hurricane Center to identify the most destructive storms.
