All Royal and Exterior Portfolio siding products are backed with an industry-leading warranty, as well as Chromatix™ technology color protection, which warrants the products to as low as three Hunter units of fade, keeping dark shades true.

Cedar Renditions™ by Royal® Design Series
New in 2019, Royal will add two new woodgrain colors—Timberline and Riverwood— and three new solid colors—Gray, Charcoal and Ironstone—to the Cedar Renditions Design Series of 6” aluminum siding profiles. Royal also launches a 4” profile to its Design Series.

LEED compliant and 100% recyclable, the Design Series combines durable, thicker gauge aluminum, wider board contemporary wood aesthetics and streamlined looks.
Royal Building Products PVC Column Wraps
Royal’s Column Wraps feature a unique “clam shell” design with three pre-assembled sides that surround the existing post for a seamless appearance. The fourth side is applied to enclose the entire column. Made from 100% cellular polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Royal’s Column Wraps are resistant to moisture, preventing issues found in traditional wood columns, such as warping, rotting and insect damage. The Column Wraps come ready-to-install in a white finish but can also be painted to complement a home’s exterior color palette. Launched in Spring 2018, Royal Column Wraps are available in Traditional, Craftsman and Builder styles.

It has precisely defined 90-degree corners that help amplify the curb appeal of a range of home styles—from Ranch to Colonial to Craftsman. Installation is seamless and clean thanks to the product’s perfectly square edges, and all of its building aesthetics come with the time-saving low maintenance of 100% cellular PVC.
Royal Conceal™ Trim System
Made for building professionals who appreciate easy installation and style-forward design, the Conceal system offers accessories to cover every seam and complement every kind of Royal siding and exterior material. Made from 100% cellular PVC, Conceal products have no exposed seams, are moisture and termite proof, and feature a “True Square” edge design for clean installation.

EXTERIOR DESIGN
This year, Royal Building Products has named Slatescape, a mid-tone, blue-gray, as its Exterior Color Trend of the Year. Evoking the hue of a storm-churned wave, Slatescape is a fresh take on the prominence of gray in current exterior color trends. This versatile shade works equally well with other soft neutrals, as it does with brighter punchier colors. The Slatescape tone has inspired colors which are available across several brands in the Royal Building Products’ portfolio of siding products, including Royal Vinyl Siding (Storm), Exterior Portfolio (Oceanside) and Celect Cellular Composite Siding (Coastline).
