When you’re updating your home’s exterior, choosing the right siding is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The right material should look beautiful, protect your home from the elements, and require as little maintenance as possible. That’s why many New Jersey homeowners are turning to Alside ASCEND® Composite Cladding—a product designed to combine the warmth of wood with the strength and durability of modern technology.
If you’re still weighing your options, be sure to explore our Siding Remodeling Guide for a complete overview of materials, design ideas, and what to expect during a siding project.
What Makes ASCEND Different?
Alside ASCEND is a first-of-its-kind composite cladding system. Unlike vinyl, wood, or fiber cement siding, ASCEND is engineered to provide the look of real wood with advanced weather resistance and long-lasting performance.
Key highlights include:
- Composite Technology – Made from a proprietary blend that resists rotting, warping, and cracking.
- Class A Fire Rating – Excellent safety performance.
- Realistic Wood-Grain Finish – Deep embossing creates a natural, upscale look.
- Color Retention – Rich tones that resist fading under UV exposure.
Benefits for New Jersey Homeowners
Living in New Jersey means your siding must withstand humid summers, heavy rainfall, coastal salt air, and freezing winters. ASCEND is specifically built to handle these conditions.
- Low Maintenance: Forget about scraping, staining, or repainting.
- Weather Protection: Strong resistance to wind, rain, snow, and storms.
- Energy-Friendly: Works well with insulation to help reduce heating and cooling costs.
- Pest Resistance: Unlike wood, it won’t attract termites or carpenter ants.
Style and Design Options
Beyond its durability, ASCEND is designed for versatility in curb appeal.
- Color Variety: Available in over 20 modern and traditional shades, from bold darks to timeless neutrals.
- Texture & Detail: Subtle shadow lines and realistic wood patterns bring dimension to any home.
- Trend-Ready Looks: Dark siding tones paired with white trim are especially popular among New Jersey homeowners aiming for a modern farmhouse or contemporary style.
Installation Advantages
The average installation time for Alside ASCEND siding is one week. This product is made of a lightweight material that is easy to handle. In addition, the self-aligning stack lock features make it easy to snap into place without caulking or sealing each piece. As a result, your project will require fewer crew members and less time than the average siding installation.
Another reason ASCEND is becoming so popular is the ease of installation. Its lightweight panels install faster than fiber cement or engineered wood, reducing labor time without sacrificing strength. Magnolia’s siding specialists are trained in ASCEND’s unique installation system, ensuring a seamless, professional finish.
