Charter Oak®Energy Elite
Insulated Siding
Engineered to Insulate and Protect
If reducing energy costs is important to you, one of the most effective ways to do so is installing Charter Oak® Energy Elite insulated vinyl siding on your home. In fact, Charter Oak® Energy Elite provides maximum energy efficiency that ultimately saves you money and time while keeping your home comfortable and quieter year-round.
Your home will benefit from Charter Oak® Energy Elite’s contoured foam underlayment that is rated for superior performance in extreme weather conditions. Plus, you’ll enjoy all the aesthetic benefits of Charter Oak® premium vinyl siding while increasing your home’s value.
How Fullback Insulates and Protects
| Insulated siding with a flat insulating underlayment provides little support, protection or thermal benefits. It’s vulnerable to denting, bowing and noise penetration. Charter Oak Energy Elite’s contoured insulation provides a complete wall system and improves thermal efficiency, rigidity and durability. Wall lines remain straight and true and energy savings are increased. The interior environment is cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter and quieter year-round. |  |
Charter Oak Energy Elite Will Exceed Your Expectations for Energy Efficiency and Durability
When asked by an independent research firm what was most important to them when choosing siding, consumers responded:
- Superior insulation and reduced energy costs
- Long-lasting “fresh as paint” appearance
- Resistance to denting, scratching and everyday abuse
- Resistance to extremes of wind and weather
- Freedom from routine maintenance
Field-Fit helps eliminate the need for gluing or laminating during the manufacturing process. So while Charter Oak Energy Elite fits snugly to your home, the vinyl and insulating layers are free to move and expand, reducing the potential for warping or binding.
Charter Oak Energy Elite is rated for superior performance in challenging climates and weather conditions.
- Insulates your home from intense heat and cold
- Industry-leading protection from fading in sun
- Resists scratches, dings and damage from hail
- Independently tested to withstand harsh winds
- Superior breathability for performance in wet climates
Because it is highly insulated, Charter Oak Energy Elite can help your furnace and air conditioner work more efficiently, creating a more balanced indoor climate in your home throughout the seasons.
Durability
With its TriBeam Performance System, Charter Oak Energy Elite is among the strongest products on the market, with as much as five times the impact resistance (IR) of ordinary vinyl siding.
 |
While “hollow-back” vinyl siding can sag or warp from extreme heat and dent on impact, Charter Oak Energy Elite’s ultra-premium panel and precision-contoured insulation provide excellent durability and structural integrity. This heavy-duty wall system beautifully withstands pounding hail, flying debris and even the occasional misguided baseball. |
| Typically, storm damage occurs when wind gets between the siding and the wall, and twists and rips it. Because there is no void behind the siding, Charter Oak Energy Elite helps eliminate the unobstructed movement of air. |  |
Performance Engineered to Protect Your Home
 |
The rolled-edge nail hem helps to ensure straight course lines and even walls along with increased strength to resist the force of intense winds. The result is a markedly superior installation with the built-in strength to ensure an enduring beautiful appearance. |
This high-performance panel has been tested to withstand negative windload resistance per ASTM D5206 and meets or exceeds the industry standard for windload performance.

Charter Oak Energy Elite is available in two timeless profile designs. The clean lines of the classic Double 4-1/2″ clapboard adds rich appeal to any home style, from grand Victorian to urban contemporary. Or choose Double 4-1/2″ dutch lap with its graceful cove detailing and enhanced shadow lines.
