Durability

CanExel prefinished siding is produced from wood fibre, resin, and wax fused under pressure. This engineered wood siding is highly stable, as well as highly resistant to moisture. It also helps optimise our forests’ yield by making the most of technological advances. In short, it does more with less…naturally. Moreover, CanExel siding is finished in the plant, resulting in durable, easy maintenance products with all the beauty and nobility of wood.

Quality

CanExel siding products are subjected to a continuous quality control process, from forest to finish. Rigorous testing helps assure that each product meets the highest standards of quality.

Advanced baked-on finish

The finish on CanExel siding consists of five coats of baked-on paint, and a sealer providing increased resistance to cracking, splitting, warping, splintering and buckling of the substrate.

“7-climate” testing

CanExel siding has been subjected to outdoor testing in seven different climates throughout North America. It has been shown to withstand the intense cold of the Canadian north, the tropical humidity of Florida, the scorching heat of the Arizona desert, the salty air of the Nova Scotia seacoast and the winds that sweep the Saskatchewan prairies.

UV resistance

In every climate zone, CanExel siding is subjected to UV resistance tests using 45º tilt walls that triple the damaging effects of the sun to which 90º walls would normally be exposed. In every instance, CanExel products have withstood the most extreme conditions without damage to the substrate.
