Alside Charter Oak Ultimate Siding Systems

The ultimate way to create lasting beauty.

Outstanding beauty begins with exceptional product quality.

The first step to a beautiful home comes long before a siding contractor pulls into your driveway. It starts with product development teams and manufacturing specialists at Alside, who select materials, refine designs and continuously improve production and quality control processes. All this with one goal in mind: unparalleled product quality ... on the day of installation and for decades to come.

Quality you can count on.
Made to be the best and made to last. That's what you can count on when you choose Charter Oak Premium Vinyl Siding. You have the confidence that comes when working with a company recognized and respected for its manufacturing and quality control excellence. Plus you have the assurance that comes with Alsides lifetime limited warranty.

Charter Oak®...made with only the very best materials.

Developing a tough, durable and beautiful vinyl siding such as Charter Oak requires the technical skills of a chemical process engineer and the visual sensibilities of an architect. That's because the premium vinyl used in Charter Oak is more than just a simple PVC resin. It's a proprietary compound, with each ingredient chosen to add specific benefits to the final product.

PureStrength™ PVC resin gives Charter Oak its basic strength and weather resistance. It prevents moisture infiltration from rain and humidity, so panels won't rot, warp, shrink or swell. The result is low-cost, easy-care maintenance.

Ti-Pure™ titanium dioxide prevents ultraviolet degradation, so even hot summer sun won't damage Charter Oak's beautiful surface.

StayRight™ PVC stabilizers also help prevent heat degradation, both during manufacturing and after installation.

TrueShield™ impact modifiers give Charter Oak exceptional impact resistance, helping to prevent denting and dinging from routine around-the-house activities.

DesignersChoice™ pigment concentrates are used to produce uniform colors that go clear through Charter Oak panels. You'll never have to stain or paint again, because the color won't wash away.

Charter Oak's TriBeam™ System . . . designed for maximum performance.

Exclusive TriBeam™ System provides unsurpassed panel rigidity and superior wind resistance.

Charter Oak's lasting beauty isn't a result of just blending premium raw materials. Product engineers have created a superior - and exclusive - design for Charter Oak that provides exceptional rigidity and extraordinary resistance to hurricane force winds.

The unique TriBeam™ system gives Charter Oak superior rigidity, helping to ensure straight course lines and even walls, on both new and existing homes. The result is an exceptionally beautiful installation with the built-in strength to maintain that outstanding appearance.

The TriBeam™ illustration at left shows another feature that's especially important if you live in an area where high winds are common. It's a rolled-edge nail hem that gives Charter Oak superior ability to resist the shearing force of extreme winds. To define extreme, we put Charter Oak to another test. The result: Charter Oak stayed nailed in place in winds reaching the intensity of Category 5 hurricane winds, the designation used by the National Hurricane Center to identify the most destructive storms.

Charter Oak lets you express yourself with rich colors and dramatic contrasts.

The classic look of the American home.
The quintessential American wood-sided home is distinguished by its details: the profile, or shape created by milling-the characteristic grain, or lack of it found in, the wood-the depth-defining shadows produced by the underside of the boards. Rich details, authentic details are exactly what you'll find in Charter Oak.

All-American profiles.
The traditional clapboard profile is an architectural standard, the most popular siding profile in America. Its clean, simple lines add rich appeal to any home, from grand Victorian to seaside contemporary. Or for an added dimension of interest and appeal, choose an elegant dutch lap profile, distinguished by its graceful cove detailing. Both are available in popular 4½" exposure widths.

Detailed or subtle surface texture.
Some homeowners like the look of natural wood grain, and Charter Oak provides it with a detailed texture that looks and feels like the surface of quarter-sawn oak boards. Other homeowners like a softer matte surface, as if the boards had been planed rather than sawn. Charter Oak offers that option too.

The look of freshly applied paint.
To produce the subtle luminosity that suggests a house has just been painted, Charter Oak uses a luxurious low-gloss finish. The look is real, the result is elegant, no matter what color you choose for your home.

Deep, realistic shadow lines.
When the sun shines on a Charter Oak installation, you see the importance of realistic shadow lines. They define the individual siding courses, plus they add a dimension of depth. Because Charter Oak is made with a full ¾" butt (the thickness at the bottom of an exposure), its shadow lines are deep, bold and beautiful.

Charter Oak gives you a rich palette of exterior design options starting with 14 elegant contemporary colors.

Or for exceptional distinction, choose from the ultra premium colors that make up Aside's exclusive Architectural Color Collection. Vote: Colors are as accurate as printing techniques allow. Make final color selections using actual vinyl samples.

Happy with your home's exterior? Or maybe you want a new look, with different colors, more details, greater contrasts. Charter Oak offers all the choices needed to give your home the exact look you want. Start with classic panel profiles and end with the perfect details at doors and windows. With Charter Oak, all decisions lead to beautiful results.

Two tips that make color selection easy. If you like your home's existing color scheme, there's really no decision to make. But if you're looking for a change, use the following two suggestions to guide your planning:

First, use the color of your roof shingles as a starting point. For the most pleasing appearance, colors for shingles and siding should complement each other.

Secondly, decide if you want a little or a lot of contrast between siding and trim. As a general rule, less contrast unifies a home's architectural elements, while greater contrast emphasizes individual elements.

Charter Oak lots you express yourself with eye-catching trim and accents.

All products are color coordinated with Charter Oak siding.
When you're creating an exterior design, the delight is in choosing details. Siding color defines the total mass of your home; trim and accent details focus on particulars, highlighting the special features and characteristics that set your home apart.

Alside offers a wide choice of trim and accent products made to complement the beauty and colors of Charter Oak siding.

Using creative exterior design you can have the home that you have always wanted.

White siding, white trim. A lot of homeowners love that basic look. But to make your home stand out while also increasing its value, try adding decorative colors and accents to your design scheme. Charter Oak and Alside give you plenty of possibilities to work with.

Details, details.

It's easy to create distinction and appeal - just focus on using details to emphasize your home's key architectural elements. What's possible? What options can you use? The accompanying photographs suggest just some of the many exterior design schemes that are possible.

Vertical siding.
Vertical siding offers a dramatic way to add interest to the dominant horizontal lines that characterize most homes. The vertical lines say, in effect, "Look at me; I'm important!" So if you want to accentuate main entrances, dormers or gable end walls, vertical siding is an excellent design choice.

Wide lineals.
Wide lineals by design, call attention to themselves. In the home upper right, for example, wide lineals accentuate the windows and gable trim. A 6" Belly Band adds emphasis, calling attention to the Architectural Shakes™ ornamental siding used to finish the upper wall.

Here's the difference color and accents can make to a home.

Same home, just different color, trim and accents. The details emphasize individual elements - doors, windows, prominent outside corners. And by doing so, they accentuate the home's unique architectural lines and style.

Want the same dramatic change for your home? Just focus on details. You're sure to love the results.
