Siding Grand Line: types, sizes and colors

The choice of cladding for the facade can be both the last stage in the construction of a new house, and the replacement of an old coating that has become unusable. Siding Grand Line offers different solutions: metal and vinyl planks, a variety of colors and shades, adaptation of materials to the harsh continental climate of the Russian Federation with hot summers and cold winters, good quality products manufactured using imported equipment at an affordable price.

Before considering the features of Grand Line products, it must be said that the quality of products is due to their development for specific operating conditions in Russia. The company partnered with an American manufacturer of similar products to create vinyl siding. The raw materials used in production are 100% identical to the components of the American concern. The production facilities of Grand Line meet all quality standards: modern imported equipment and advanced production technology are used. Raw materials for the manufacture of siding are synthesized according to the method and from the components in accordance with American technical standards.

The products of the Grand Line company have undeniable advantages.

• Persistent color of products. Special additives that protect siding from fading were developed in cooperation with the American company Penn Color, which produces high-quality facade paints. The panels retain their original colors for many years. The warranty period is 11 years regardless of color tone and saturation.
• Universal installation. Grand Line siding can be installed on the facade even in winter, due to the use of a special Shockproof system. As a result of testing, it was found that the panels can be mounted at temperatures down to -10 degrees. This figure corresponds to the level of the world's best siding brands.
• Strong structure. Siding panels withstand significant pressure and impact.

• Durability. The warranty period without destruction of the structure and loss of performance for facade planks is 50 years.
• Variety of external siding performance. The color palette of lamellas is very diverse and will satisfy almost any taste. Also among the Grand Line products there are panels with a texture that most closely imitates natural wood in appropriate tones. A house trimmed with such siding looks identical to a wooden structure, but it will cost significantly less.
• Antistatic effect. Siding panels do not accumulate static current, therefore dust and various small particles do not adhere to them, and the shape of the lamellas minimizes contamination of the cladding.
• Biological unsuitability of lamellas. The Grand Line siding contains antiseptic components that ensure the absence of mold, in addition, the material is unsuitable for feeding insects and rodents.

• Reliability of adhesion. The panels are connected with a special locking mechanism, which ensures a tight fit of the lamellas with each other after joining. Such fastening allows the skin to withstand hurricane winds, and reduces the time spent on installation in half. In addition, the mechanism performs the function of protection against theft - it is extremely difficult to disassemble the mounted cover and requires special skills.
• Heat and frost resistance. Grand Line siding is designed for the maximum positive and negative temperatures that are possible in nature.
• Related products. For facade panels, you can purchase a drainage system and a fence of the appropriate design and color. This combination will give the appearance of the site the integrity and completeness of the design finish.

The range of facade panels from Grand Line is divided into two large groups depending on the material of manufacture of the products. Each group has specific performance characteristics that result from the characteristics of the lamella material.

Cladding panels made of metal are durable, reliable and have a long service life, they can easily withstand any climatic conditions. In terms of convenience, this line, in addition to standard lamellas, contains additional elements designed for facing objects with non-standard geometry.

Grand Line siding has other characteristic features as well.

• Product coverage. HPS 200 offers 20 years warranty protection, while PVDF and Armacor up to 30 years.
• External execution of lamellas. There are various texture options and about 50 color options to choose from.
• Possibility of minor repairs. Often, during installation work, the surface of the panels receives minor damage: scratches and abrasions. To eliminate them, a can of corrective paint is provided, and this composition is also designed to protect metal from corrosion and can be used throughout the entire operation.
• Absolute fire resistance and environmental protection.
• Environmentally friendly composition, no toxic metals or synthetic compounds are used in the production process.
• Persistent color.

Metal siding panels are divided into several subspecies.

• "Ship board". The surface texture imitates wood with high precision.

• "Vertical GL". A characteristic feature of this siding is the texture, designed for a dusty environment, for example, near a road or a factory. The surface repels dirt and is very easy to clean. Vertical has mostly positive reviews.

Both types are fastened on latches, providing a tight connection between the lamellas.

You can learn how to properly install Grand Line siding from the following video.

These facade lamellas are produced on imported equipment and according to American technologies using raw materials standardized according to European standards. The applied SunProof technology guarantees full protection of Grand Line siding planks from the effects of sunlight both in the ultraviolet, destructive of the structure, and in the infrared spectrum, negatively affecting the color.

This indicator is tested and certified by the Dutch technical laboratory Holland Colors. The strength of the lamella structure was tested at a temperature of -10 degrees and withstood a load of 4.23 J, which corresponds to modern imported analogues in the field of vinyl siding. Also, products from Grand Line were created with an eye on the domestic consumer, therefore, the fastening system is simplified as much as possible and can be used by customers without specialized installation skills.

Other qualities of siding include:

• resistance to aggressive weather events: rain, hail, snow, hurricanes and others;
• a wide range of colors and textures of products;
• environmentally friendly composition of panels, non-toxic and do not provoke allergic reactions;
• do not oxidize, do not rot, do not corrode;
• moderately flammable;
• long service life.

Vinyl siding "Grand Line" is presented in several varieties.

• "Ship bar". Siding panels reproduce the wood texture as accurately as possible, down to the smallest details, such as knots.Precision in the manufacture of planken provides an optimal connection of products to each other without the formation of gaps and crevices.

• "GL Karelian". Facade planks imitate wooden beams not only in texture, but also in shape. A great option for creating a stylized "wood" finish for a reasonable price.

• "GL Siberian". This finishing material offers versatility for any surface finish, while the geometry of the lamellas allows compact packaging to minimize space required during transport.

In addition to different colors, siding panels are divided into several main groups with specific characteristics.

• "GL America". This category includes a widespread type of lamellae, imitating wooden boards with a characteristic texture and dimensions, authentic seam joints and all the external features of a sawn board. This group includes "Ship Board" and "Block House". Product dimensions range from 3 to 3.6 m in length and 0.22 m in width.
• "Vertical Panels". A feature of this siding is the vertical, rather than horizontal, arrangement of the lamellas. Due to this feature, it is more difficult for dirt and dust to linger on the surface, and the cleaning process is facilitated due to the unhindered flow of water along the plane of the product both during rain and during manual washing. "Vertical panels" are very popular among residents of roadside areas and areas with increased dustiness. The overall dimensions of the products are 3 m in length and 0.16 m in width.
