Satinwood Select Steel Siding
with Kynar Coating Technology
Stylishly Protect Your Home With a Powerful Steel Shield
Each pre-treated galvanized steel panel is virtually “weather-sealed” with a durable Kynar® PVDF finish that ensures long-lasting protection and color performance. Moreover, no other steel coating system defies the tests of nature and time like those based on Kynar resins.
Unlike fiber cement and exterior wood claddings, Satinwood Select won’t absorb moisture and does not require caulking. The rigid steel helps to conceal flaws while tight joints keep overlaps flat.
Select a designer color from a broad range of shades to achieve your ideal finished look. And whether you want them to blend in our stand out, Alside’s trim and accessories in matching Kynar PVDF colors will help you achieve the appearance that reflects your unique style and lifestyle.
A Standout Choice for Enduring Beauty
Renowned for its superb balance of beauty, functionality and strength, metal is on the rise as a leading exterior material. Satinwood Select further elevates the allure of steel with three distinctive profiles, high-performance colors and natural-looking wood textures that inspire unlimited design potential – from contemporary to historic. Strong, stylish and virtually maintenance-free, your home will convey refined quality from every angle.
The Ultimate Protection For Your Home
With equal measures of design ingenuity and core strength, Satinwood Select Steel Siding makes an impressive all-weather exterior cladding. Each pretreated galvanized steel panel is generously sealed with a resilient Kynar PVDF finish for optimal performance. Whatever Mother Nature dishes out, Satinwood Select stands ready to protect your home season after season, year after year.
HAIL AND IMPACT RESISTANCE Satinwood Select is constructed of roll-formed 29 gauge Galvalume® AZ-50 steel for maximum resistance to hail damage and denting.
WEATHERTIGHT CONSTRUCTION Unlike wood, compressed particleboard or fiber cement, steel siding won’t absorb moisture. Resists warping, chalking, fading and brittleness in cold weather; independently tested to withstand hurricane-force winds, with wind speed exceeding 160 mph.
CRISP WALL LINES
Rugged steel construction delivers high dimensional stability and resists buckling and the wavy appearance that can result from expansion and contraction caused by extreme weather changes. The low thermal expansion is less than 1/8″ over a 12′ panel.
SMOOTH, UNIFORM FINISH
Panel overlaps are neat and flat, and the rigid steel minimizes imperfections in the exterior’s substructure.
REFINED APPEARANCE
It’s has a 1/2″ panel projection for enhanced dimension and distinctive shadow lines. and resists dirt and dust buildup, staining and mildew.
SIMPLE UPKEEP
A simple rinse with a garden hose will remove most airborne dust and dirt to keep the siding looking fresh and clean.
RECYCLABLE
Steel is 100% recyclable, requires no additional painting or caulking, and does not produce silica dust during installation.
EASY TO INSTALL
Satinwood Select installs easily. Unlike fiber cement, steel siding does not advise a dust respirator or involve hazards from silica dust.
CLASS A FIRE RATING
Meets even the most stringent fire building codes. Unlike many other siding materials, steel is a non-combustible product.
INSECT RESISTANT
Steel siding resists damage from wood-eating insects, such as termites.
Superior Tensile Strength Properties
Tensile strength is the amount of stress a material can withstand and is measured in thousands of pounds of force per square inch (KSI).
Ultimate Tensile Strength is the maximum force (tension, compression or shearing) applied to a material that results in material failure, such as cracking, splitting and deforming: Satinwood Select is 45,000 pounds per square inch.
Yield Tensile Strength is the force (tension, compression or shearing) that is applied to a material and results in some type of material deformity; the material does not fail and it may return to its normal shape when the force is removed: Satinwood Select is 40,000 pounds per square inch.
The Best of the Best: KYNAR PVDF
When it comes to steel coating systems, none can withstand the challenges of weather and time like Kynar resins. The resilient fluoropolymer finish preserves the steel core and creates a luxurious color that resists chalking, pitting, chipping, premature aging and more. Satinwood Select enhances the siding texture even further with its proprietary coating formula.
- Highly weatherable and durable
- Keeps colors beautiful and true with fade-prevention fluorinated polymer pigments
- Low-gloss rating of 7 achieves a strong finish with greater scratch resistance
- High-performance coating protects panels from staining and helps to prevent dirt and other airborne pollutants from adhering to the siding
- Kynar resists mildew and fungus growth; does not have UV-sensitive organic material required for mildew growth
Did You Know?
- Satinwood Select’s Kynar PVDF coating system has a nylon additive that results in a 48%improvement in scuff resistance over polyvinyl chloride (PVC) finishes
- Steel siding can now be cut with an approved saw blade, making installation faster and easier.
- Because steel siding is hung it floats better on the exterior for a smoother appearance; fiber cement installs tightly to the exterior wall and thus can show unevenness or imperfections in the substructure.
Take a Fresh Look on Traditional Design
Beauty prevails in Satinwood Select’s four classic profiles: Double 4″ and 5″ Clapboard, 8″ Clapboard and 12″ Vertical Board & Batten. The subtle sophistication of each panel is further enhanced with natural-looking wood textures and eye-catching colors. Matching and complementing trim and accessories lend a refreshing creative spark with unlimited design possibilities.
The Hazards of Silica Dust
Silica-based fiber cement contains respirable crystalline silica, which is considered by NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) to be a cause of cancer from some occupational sources. Breathing excessive amounts of respirable silica dust can cause a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease, such as silicosis.2 During installation, a dust-collection system attached to a mechanical saw or high-speed cutting tool is recommended, or wear a NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator. Recommended cleanup includes a vacuum and filter appropriate for capturing respirable silica dust or wet cleanup method to further prevent exposure. Do not dry sweep.
Beauty Beyond the Surface
Selecting the best siding for your home is an important decision that deserves careful consideration. Fiber cement often gains attention for its appearance of freshly painted wood, but when you look beyond the surface beauty, you’ll see why Satinwood Select is a smart choice.
| Satinwood Select Steel Siding | Fiber Cement1 | |
| Beauty | Heavy-duty steel panel with Kynar PVDF coating—never needs to be painted. | Made of cellulose and cement; if not prefinished, it must be primed, painted and caulked. |
| Maintenance | Simply rinse with a garden hose to remove most airborne dust and dirt. | Requires caulking and re-caulking to seal seams; may require repainting to maintain appearance. |
| Durability | Highly durable Kynar PVDF formula resists staining, dirt and airborne pollutants; stands up strong to almost any weather. Resists impact and hail damage. | Absorptive—must be handled properly from the very start to avoid cracks and chips during shipping, delivery and installation; can be susceptible to delaminating in freeze/thaw conditions. |
| Installation Ease | Easy to install; creates a neat, uniform finish. | Labor intensive; precise cutting is required for a professional finish. Installers are advised to wear a dust mask or respirator to avoid inhaling silica dust |
| Resists Mold and Mildew | Won’t absorb moisture; Kynar PVDF coating does not have UV-sensitive organic material needed for mildew growth. | Fiber cement is absorptive, creating the potential for moisture penetration that can lead to rot, mold and/or poor indoor air quality. |
| Recyclable | Steel is 100% recyclable. | Many fiber cement manufacturers send production scrap to landfills. |
| Warranty | Satinwood Select Steel Siding is backed by a lifetime limited, non-prorated, transferable warranty with 50 year hail and 35 year chalk and color change protection. See printed warranty for complete details. | Warranty coverage for 30 years; 15-year limited finish warranty on prefinished products. Warranties are prorated after the first year. No coverage for hail, mold or mildew. |
