Product Features
The ASCEND Composite Cladding System protects the beauty of your home with the INNOVATIVE power of (GP)2 Technology. It’s an outstanding solution for performance and strength.

From efficient installation to superior performance and appearance – ASCEND Composite Cladding will elevate your projects to a higher level of quality.

Ascend (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 AscendALIGN’s dark colors, and its non-moisture-absorbing materials prevent rotting, warping, shrinking, and swelling.
