New Product Highlights
The new Ply Gem products on
display at the 2018 International Builders' Show in booth W2501
push the boundaries of luxury and timeless design for every builder
type, while reaching new levels of weather protection for
residential and light commercial projects.
The Ply Gem EuroSeries Patio Door reflects Ply Gem's
commitment to best-in-class engineering, making it one of the
strongest large patio doors on the market. The vinyl door meets
impact protection requirements set forth by the Florida Building
Code, including Miami-Dade testing
protocols, and promotes superior thermal and structural performance
with outstanding U and SHGC values. The door features an 8-foot by
9-foot panel for luxurious panoramic views yet seamlessly opens and
closes with an effortless lift and slide gliding system. The door's
premium vinyl construction and engineered design also allows for
superior color retention technology, featuring white or woodgrain
interior colors combined with white, grey or bronze exterior
colors.
The Ply Gem MaxView Patio Door delivers new modern
sophistication in high-end new construction and remodeling
applications. The large aluminum three-panel, multi-slide door
system covers an impressive 18 feet in width and 10 feet in height,
while a minimalist frame design with vertical panel sight lines of
just 19mm (3/4") width maximize the glass area to truly blend the
lines between indoor and outdoor. Featuring an electrostatically
coated or designer anodized finish, the Ply Gem MaxView door
complements the 46 exterior window color options available on Ply
Gem's MIRA Woodclad Collection to synchronize and enhance the curb
appeal of any modern home or building.
Ply Gem Mastic SolarDefense Reflective Technology,
available exclusively on select low maintenance Mastic vinyl siding
lines, provides superior protection from the sun's harmful UV rays,
while increasing curb appeal. SolarDefense Reflective Technology
prevents fading and heat distortion on even the darkest colors—a
protection made possible through a proprietary formulation that
improves overall color and panel stability. The SolarDefense vinyl
siding technology is offered in five rich, designer inspired colors
that only Mastic can provide: Red
Brick, Mahogany, Brandy Wood,
Natural Slate and Newport Bay. This product line is backed by an
industry-first No Fade, No Distortion Promise and accompanying
Limited Lifetime Warranty. As the industry leader in siding
color science, Ply Gem Mastic offers builders and remodelers one of
the best and most resilient vinyl siding product portfolios on
today's market.
Ply Gem Engineered Slate and Cedar Roofing shingles are
designed from hand-selected, genuine slate and milled cedar
materials that authentically replicate the look of natural
shingles. Both products are tested under rigorous conditions and
can withstand large hailstones, ultraviolet rays, extreme
temperatures, wind loads of up to 190 mph, and recently achieved
Miami-Dade wind certification. Ply
Gem engineered roofing eases the job of the installer, requiring no
additional framing support or special skills for installation.
Additionally, its lightweight composition makes it more efficient
to transport and install.

Ply Gem
is inviting show attendees to enjoy Happy Hour and two special
performances at its booth with top Nashville recording artists. On January 9th and 10th at
