Nichiha “NichiFrontier”
NichiFrontier shake product is an affordable fiber cement siding that mimics expensive cedar, but is quick to install because the shakes are 8’-long planks. NichiFrontier is made with 50% recycled content from fly ash and from recycling the company’s pre-cured scrap. Factory-primed, the shakes are also available in three finished colors: Terra, Hazelnut and Shadow. The product has a lifetime limited warranty; the finish warranty is 15 years.

Fullback Siding Insulation
Adding insulation to siding can help your homeowners reduce energy bills substantially, create more comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce warm and cold spots in the home. Fullback Siding Insulation is a contoured insulation that is installed under siding. The product “forces” panels to be installed perfectly for straighter lines and reduces wavy, uneven wall lines by leveling the wall under the siding.
