Shake and Shingle Siding

ProVia expands the company’s siding lineup with the addition of Harbor Mill Shake and Shingle siding, providing a superior cladding option for building professionals. The products offers homeowners the rustic look of traditional rough-sawn shingle and staggered hand-split shake, minus the expense and high maintenance of cedar.

To preserve this authentic look, both profiles are modeled after hand-picked cedar pieces using highly accurate laser scanning to ensure the finest details and textures are carried over into each Harbor Mill Shake and Shingle. The result is a product that not only looks ultra-realistic but has the versatility and ease of maintenance that ProVia siding products are known for.

Harbor Mill was designed with the installer in mind, incorporating built-in features that aid in a more efficient, hassle-free installation. In addition to the rigid, lightweight profile that makes it easier to handle, Harbor Mill panels include:

• A Drop Guard that keeps the panel secured in position while the installer is working on fastening it to the wall. Typical polypropylene shake and shingle siding panels do not include a drop guard, and installers must hold the panel with one hand while fastening with the other. This hands-free advantage results in a straighter set-up, and less effort for the installer.
• A Continuous Lock that anchors each panel together, for stability and durability.
• A unique Seam Lock that makes joint overlaps effectively invisible, even to the trained eye. The result is a smooth, seamless appearance that makes for great curb appeal.
• An Alignment Guide that prevents the panel from unlocking from the overlapping panel while also leaving enough room for expansion and contraction.
• Stagger Pattern Marks (a.k.a. “starting pattern” or “cut pattern” marks) on the nailing hem that indicate the order in which the panels are cut to maintain a proper stagger pattern. This provides a great-looking installation by ensuring keyways (the space in between an individual shake or shingle) and panels do not repeat vertically.

These details make it easier to position and fasten the siding panels — a huge advantage when you’re 20 feet high on a ladder at the jobsite.
