Why Choose Foundry Siding?

Authentic Cedar Inspired Appearance

Foundry siding is designed to reproduce the handcrafted warmth and distinctive texture of real cedar. Detailed woodgrain patterns and dimensional shadow lines give each profile a natural appearance that can add depth to both traditional and contemporary homes.

Unlike flat exterior materials, shake and shingle siding creates visible texture across the facade. This makes Foundry products especially effective for highlighting gables, entryways, upper stories, dormers, and other areas where greater architectural definition is desired.

Durable PVC Construction

Foundry specialty siding is manufactured from durable PVC that is designed to withstand the demands placed on an exterior cladding system. The material offers strong impact resistance and weather tested performance, helping protect the appearance of the home through changing outdoor conditions.

Foundry siding also carries a Class A fire rating. Contractors and property owners should always review the applicable product documents, installation requirements, and local building codes when selecting materials for a specific project.

Lower Maintenance Than Natural Wood

Natural cedar can provide a beautiful exterior, but it may require staining, painting, sealing, and ongoing attention. Foundry siding provides a cedar inspired appearance without many of those recurring maintenance requirements.

The material will not split or rot like natural wood and does not require routine staining. Occasional rinsing can help remove surface dirt and preserve its finished appearance. This allows homeowners to enjoy the character of shake or shingle siding while spending less time maintaining the exterior.

Explore Foundry Shake and Shingle Profiles

Different siding profiles can create dramatically different architectural results. CGR Wholesale offers several Foundry options that can be used individually or combined with other siding materials.

Staggered Shake Siding

Staggered shake siding features varied bottom edges that create a handcrafted, less uniform appearance. It works well on homes that need a rustic, cottage inspired, or naturally textured exterior.

Split Shake Siding

Split shake profiles reproduce the rugged character of hand split cedar. Their pronounced grain and shadow lines can bring depth to large exterior sections or provide a strong accent when paired with traditional horizontal siding.

Perfection Shingle Siding

Perfection shingles offer a cleaner and more consistent pattern. This profile is a versatile choice for homeowners who want cedar character with a balanced, orderly appearance that works across many architectural styles.

Rounded Shingle Siding

Rounded shingles introduce a decorative shape that can give gables, porches, and upper story accents a more distinctive look. They are particularly suitable for Victorian inspired, coastal, cottage, and custom exterior designs.

Grayne Shingle Siding

Grayne shingle siding provides another option for creating the appearance of natural shingles while benefiting from modern exterior materials. It can be considered for complete facades or targeted accent areas where texture and visual interest are important.

Flexible Options for Exterior Design

Foundry siding can be used across an entire facade, but it is also effective as an accent material. Contractors and homeowners can pair shake or shingle profiles with horizontal siding, stone, brick, trim, and other exterior products to create contrast.

A darker shake may be used to define a gable, while a lighter shingle can soften an upper story. Rounded profiles can introduce decorative character, while Perfection shingles can create a more refined and uniform presentation. The variety of profiles and colors allows the siding to support many design directions, from rustic and traditional to coastal and contemporary.

Choosing the Right Foundry Siding

When comparing Foundry products, consider the architecture of the property, the amount of texture desired, surrounding exterior materials, and whether the siding will cover the full home or serve as an accent.

Product samples can also make the selection process easier. Viewing the color, grain, and profile in person allows homeowners and contractors to evaluate how the material will look alongside roofing, trim, stone, windows, and other exterior finishes.
