Apex Fiberglass: The Tough and Energy-Efficient Siding Solution

2013-06-18_1704The 2012 spring storm season was expensive for many homeowners. According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, we spent over 11 billion dollars in repairs and saw at least seven tornadoes that season. That makes having high-quality building materials for our home all the more important.

Apex Fiberglass
Vinyl and vinyl/wood composites are extremely popular in siding and window materials, but Apex fiberglass has eight times the strength of vinyl and is three times stronger than the composite. One inch of the material can hold up to 34,000 pounds, which means that when spring storms hit, the house settles, or your kids ‘accidentally’ bounce balls off of it, it’ll stand up better than most other materials.

Environmental Conditions
Minnesota is notorious for extreme heat in summer and blistering cold in winter. Naturally, these temperatures can cause a lot of damage to vinyl, since it tends to expand and contract according to the season. However, Apex fiberglass siding stays stable throughout the year, and it resists harsh corrosive substances as well. The American Architectural manufacturers Association has actually granted it the only certification it for quality and durability in the composite category. This toughness also ensures that it’s resistant to fading and chalking, so dark colors will stay dark longer. However, if you decide it’s time for a new color, painting it won’t void the warranty.

Lower Energy Bills
Since aluminum siding is 500 times more conductive than this siding, your home will retain more warmth over the winter and keep the house cooler over summer months. It will also preserve your windows’ integrity because glass has the same expansion rate. This is a fantastic option for both long and short term energy efficiency.
