The centerpiece of the Generations® Energy-Efficient Exteriors System is Generations Thermal Core Siding, a line of thick, premium foam backed vinyl siding designed to look great, provide value, and protect your home for a lifetime.

Generations Thermal Core Siding has a thick polystyrene foam core that will provide a lifetime of benefits far beyond normal exterior cladding. The permanently applied foam backing helps insulate your home, keeping it cooler in summer and warmer in winter. With R-values ranging to nearly 2.6 depending on the product style, it delivers significant energy performance in both hot and cold climates and may provide 20% energy costs savings or more annually.

The insulating foam core of Generations Thermal Core Siding increases rigidity for straighter, smoother lines, and has significantly more impact resistance than hollow backed vinyl or metal sidings: up to 4 times more resistance, which improves the performance of your exterior against hail storms, thrown baseballs or moving lawn mowers.

It’s also important to note that the vinyl panels have a proprietary LIFE-LOCK™ locking system. In American Society of Testing & Materials Standards performance tests, the Generations Thermal Core Siding was found to withstand negative test pressures equivalent to wind loads in excess of 180 mph (as calculated using ASTM standards).

Generations Thermal Core Siding features ColorHold®, an innovative capstock that gives the exterior vinyl panel superior fade resistance. Because it has a Double Lifetime Limited Warranty with Lifetime Fade Protection, your investment is solidly protected. And, homes with a fresh new exterior, like the look you’ll get with your new Generations Thermal Core Siding, tend to increase their curb appeal and value.

Because Generations Thermal Core Siding exterior is solid vinyl, it will never crack, blister, flake or peel, so you never have to scrape, sand or paint ever again. This means more time to spend with loved ones.

When you add up all the savings benefits, you’ll understand why more and more home owners around the country are adding Generations Thermal Core Siding to their home's exterior.
