CertainTeed Monogram is the flagship of the lineup. At a true 0.046-inch thickness, Monogram panels are built heavier than standard residential vinyl, delivering superior rigidity and impact resistance. The headline feature is RigidForm™ 210 technology — a double-thick, rolled-over nail hem that enables Monogram to withstand wind loads tested to 210 mph. The CertiLock™ positive-locking system snaps panels together with an audible click for a tight, self-aligning connection, and STUDfinder™ nail slots at 16-inch intervals allow for accurate stud-aligned fastening.
Learn About CertainTeed Monogram TodayCertainTeed Mainstreet siding is a great middle-ground option for homeowners who want a quality product without paying for the top-of-the-line. It comes in seven different profile styles — more than almost any competing product at this price — so whether you prefer a classic clapboard look, a wider plank exposure, or a traditional beaded profile, there's an option that fits your home's character. It's built tough enough to handle Albany's winters, comes in around 25 colors, and carries the same Lifetime Limited Warranty as CertainTeed's premium Monogram line.
Monogram's solid colors span popular neutrals like Colonial White, Heritage Cream, Sandstone Beige, and Granite Gray alongside bolder Deluxe options including Midnight Blue, Charcoal Gray, Espresso, Tuxedo, and Forest. The seven blend colors — including Arbor, Cedar, Driftwood, Frontier, and Weathered — use semi-transparent formulations to create variegated, multi-tonal appearances that closely mimic naturally stained wood.
Fiber cement lasts longer and offers superior fire resistance, but costs more installed and requires repainting every 10 to 20 years and re-caulking at joints — ongoing maintenance costs that add up significantly over the life of the product. Vinyl requires virtually no maintenance beyond occasional washing.
Natural wood demands the highest maintenance of any siding material — painting or staining every 3 to 7 years and ongoing attention to rot and moisture damage. In Albany's wet, freeze-thaw climate, wood siding is particularly vulnerable. CertainTeed's TrueTexture™ technology replicates the appearance of painted cedar while eliminating the maintenance burden entirely.
CedarBoards insulated siding closes the energy-efficiency gap between standard vinyl and fiber cement, adding R-2.0 to R-2.7 to the wall assembly while retaining vinyl's core advantage of zero maintenance. For most Albany homeowners, premium CertainTeed vinyl represents the best balance of upfront cost, long-term durability, and maintenance freedom available in the market today.

With 120-plus years in the industry, Saint-Gobain ownership, proprietary technologies like TrueTexture™ and PermaColor™, and a Lifetime Limited Warranty across every product line, it's a product contractors and homeowners trust.

Most CertainTeed siding is rigid PVC vinyl with UV stabilizers and pigments embedded throughout the full panel thickness. Cedar Impressions is made from polypropylene polymer for superior cold-weather impact resistance, and CedarBoards adds an EPS foam backer for insulation.
From entry-level to premium: Encore (0.040"), Mainstreet (0.042"), and Monogram (0.046"). CedarBoards adds foam insulation for energy efficiency, and Cedar Impressions uses polypropylene polymer for shake and shingle profiles. Every grade carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
A solution of water and mild detergent applied with a soft brush handles most dirt and mildew. Rinse with a garden hose. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, and high-pressure washing aimed at panel overlaps. An annual spring cleaning is typically all Albany homes need.
