A closer look at ascend composite cladding.
ASCEND is the world’s first composite siding engineered with a combination of Glass-Reinforced Polymer and Graphite-Infused Polystyrene. This patented (GP)2 technology was developed to achieve superior performance in tests for wind load and impact resistance, workability and flame/smoke spread. With (GP)2, ASCEND boasts:
CLASS A FIRE RATING
FOR BOTH FLAME SPREAD AND SMOKE DEVELOPED
IMPRESSIVE THERMAL
AND IMPACT RESISTANCE
SUPERIOR WIND LOAD
PERFORMANCE
ASCEND’s (GP)2 compound contains glass particles for added structural stability, strength and heat resistance, while titanium dioxide protects against ultraviolet degradation, and impact modifiers help resist dents and dings. (GP)2’s integral weatherable pigments provide strong fade resistance, even on ASCEND’s dark colors, and its non-moisture-absorbing materials prevent rotting, warping, shrinking and swelling.
