Gentek's Sierra Steel Steel Siding

The ultimate shield for your home.

Pounding rain, severe wind, freezing cold and blistering heat are no match for the commanding strength of steel.  Each pretreated galvanized steel siding panel is virtually “weather-sealed” with a resilient Kynar PVDF finish, ensuring long-lasting beauty and protection.

 

Product Features

Masterfully crafted with attention to every detail, this exceptional home exterior will meet your every expectation for outstanding beauty, enduring protection, easy upkeep and lasting value.

High-Performance Kynar PVDF Coating System

The power of Kynar 500 stands clear: no other steel coating system resists the challenges of nature and time like those based on Kynar resins. Protecting and preserving the steel core, the resilient resin provides a luxurious, low-gloss colour that resists scratches, fading, chalking, pitting, chipping and more. Sierra Steel’s proprietary coating also is specially formulated for enhanced texture.

  • Highly durable and weatherable
  • Polymer pigments keep colours true and help prevent fading
  • Beautiful, strong, low-gloss finish with superior scratch resistance
  • High-performance coating protects panels from staining and helps prevent dirt and other airborne pollutants from adhering to the siding
  • Resists mildew and fungus growth – Kynar does not have UV-sensitive organic material needed for mildew growth

Impact Resistant

Constructed of roll-formed 29 gauge Galvalume AZ-50 steel for maximum resistance to hail damage and denting.

Built Weather-Tough

Unlike wood, compressed particle board or fiber cement, Sierra Steel won’t absorb moisture. Steel siding also resists warping, chalking, fading and brittleness and is independently tested to withstand hurricane force winds exceeding 160mph.

Straight Wall Lines

The low thermal expansion is less than 1/8″ over a 12′ panel for high dimension stability.

Environment Friendly

Sierra Steel steel siding is 100% recyclable; no painting, caulking or issues with silica dust.

Simple and Safer to Install

Installs easily; unlike fiber cement, Sierra Steel does not involve hazards from silica dust.

FOR YOUR CAREFUL CONSIDERATION

When selecting the best exterior cladding for your home, it’s important to understand the facts. Fibre cement often gains attention for its appearance of freshly painted wood, but when you compare it side by side with steel siding, you’ll see why Sierra Steel is an excellent choice.

THE DANGERS OF SILICA DUST

Silica-based fibre cement contains respirable crystalline silica, which is considered by NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) to be a cause of cancer from some occupational sources. Breathing excessive amounts of respirable silica dust can cause a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease, such as silicosis.2 During installation, a dust-collection system attached to a mechanical saw or high-speed cutting tool is recommended, or wear a NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator. Recommended cleanup includes a vacuum and filter appropriate for capturing respirable silica dust or wet cleanup method to further prevent exposure. Do not dry sweep.
