How do you see siding changing in the next couple of years?

Siding will be durable and easily coordinated with deep colors. Watch for cedar shakes in those same colors. Also keep an eye out for Solar Defense technology and our Ply Gem Composite Siding.

What is a key tip or hack when it comes to picking out siding and shutters?

We have several tips for you! Use a visualizer to coordinate colors and coordinate colors with roofing, trim, and window colors. Don’t be afraid to combine colors! With our deep, rich colors, you can coordinate almost any color combination. This was far more difficult when deep colors were trendy. Shingle color flecks/granules will be accentuated with the siding color. Keep in mind that wider siding profiles make a structure look shorter, and more narrow siding profiles make a structure look taller. Similarly, darker colors make a structure look smaller, while lighter colors make a structure look larger.
