Exclusive (GP)2 Technology® for optimized performance
As the world's first composite cladding incorporating Glass-reinforced Polymer and Graphite-infused Polystyrene (GP)2 Technology, ALIGN is in a class of its own. Precision-engineered for superb form and functionality, ALIGN meets or exceeds industry test standards and criteria for wind load, workability, flame spread/smoke development, weatherability and termite resistance.
Glass particles in the (GP)2 compound increase structural integrity, strength and heat resistance
Integral weatherable pigments fortify the colors against fading for superior color retention – including darker hues
Non-moisture-absorbing materials prevent rotting, warping, shrinking and swelling
Graphite-Infused Polystyrene increases energy efficiency and reduces thermal bridging, and also helps achieve an R‑value of 2.0 when applied directly over sheathing
Titanium dioxide shields against ultraviolet degradation
Impact modifiers increase resistance to dents, dings and abrasions
Deeper grain embossing creates realistic wood texture with heightened structural strength
Nothing does more to impact a home’s exterior design than color. From deep saturated hues in cool neutrals to bold shades and light-changing grays, Gentek has everything you need to let your vision unfold.
