CertainTeed Vinyl Siding - Brand History

From its early beginnings, the company was renamed “CertainTeed” in 1917, inspired by their slogan “Quality made certain. Satisfaction guaranteed.” Starting with asphalt shingles, the product line expanded in the 1960s when the firm acquired a fiberglass insulation business and PVC pipe business. 
In October 2015, CertainTeed moved into a new state-of-the-art open floor plan headquarters. This ‘living laboratory’ enables their research team to measure the impact their products and innovations have in a real environment.  
 
CertainTeed Vinyl Siding - Philosophy

Being green is one of their top priorities. CertainTeed leads the industry in sustainable business practices while improving product performance and style. And their vinyl siding is no exception. By streamlining operations to reduce carbon emissions, and by reprocessing all vinyl scrap, the manufacturing process has near-zero waste. The company feels that ‘we do well by doing good’. Both management and employees give back often, partnering with charities like Homes for Our Troops and YouthBuildUSA.
