Alcoa Vinyl Siding
Alcoa
is one of the oldest siding manufacturers in America. Alcoa has
a long history of building quality aluminum siding and manufactures
a wide range of vinyl sidings.
Grand Sierra
is Alcoa's top of the line (non foam backed) product.
Grand
Sierra is a nice product line with impressive specifications.
It is a 46 mil nominal thickness, hurricane rated (190 mph), features
a strong double strength nail hem, and a 3/4 inch profile height.
The manufacturer claims it is 200% more rigid than normal vinyl
sidings. The color chart is large and varied with 14 color choices.
The grain pattern nicely resembles straight grained cedar. Alcoa
uses a Geloy resin technology for high performance and color retention
which they claim provides superior fade resistance.
One
thing Alcoa has always done well is accessory items like Door Surrounds,
and their coil stock (vinyl clad aluminum) for "wrapping facia
boards, etc." has always been of the finest quality hearkening
back to their aluminum fame.

Alcoa
Structure is one of the newest foam backed panels to enter the
highly competitive foam backed vinyl siding market. Structure has
two very nice selling points. One, it offers a single 7" wide
panel which gives a very nice installed appearance and secondly
it offers a Dow foam underlayment that doesn't absorb any moisture.

Grand Sierra
is Alcoa's top of the line (non foam backed) product.
The
Grand Sierra Line and the Mastic Quest 3 lines are available in
double 4 inch, double 4 1/2 inch Dutch Lap , and double 5 inch horizontal
siding. The normal panel length is 12 feet but are also available
in 16 foot lengths (stocking varies/special order). The 4 inch width
clapboard is quite popular. The Dutch lap siding pattern is becoming
more popular daily. It is the most rigid of the three patterns and
is heavily favored in Canada. The 5 inch pattern is best suited
to the larger structures, but in the end the decision is yours and
what pleases your eye.
note:
Alcoa owns Mastic Corporation which manufactures a similar product
line called Quest 3.
