SmartCORE™:
The Inside Story
What makes our CraneBoard®
SmartCORE™ System so intelligent — and such a smart choice? The
insulated backing in CraneBoard SOLID CORE SIDING® does more than
contribute to the smooth, architecturally-correct look you'll love on
your home. It works behind the scenes to give you exceptional
performance advantages. Its SmartTRACK™ ridges and channels provide
moisture management. Its SmoothLOCK™ design ensures a tight, flat edge
connection. And of course, this unique SmartCORE™ technology adds the
benefit of energy-savings, so that CraneBoard keeps the interior of your
home more comfortable, even as it makes your exterior worry-free to
enjoy for a lifetime.

Insulated
backing for energy savings
R-Value of 3.0-4.0 for energy
savings. One of the more impressive benefits of the SOLID CORE
backing is its R-Value of 3.0-4.0 depending on product style. That
means CraneBoard's R-Value is 20 times that of fiber cement and 4
times that of traditional vinyl siding with standard backer board.
-
SmartTrack™
moisture management system
A CraneBoard home breathes
easily. Moisture vapor evaporates as it passes through the panel.
Specially designed SmartTrack ridges create an air space for
ventilation, allowing moisture to evaporate. Any excess moisture is
guided out through SmartTrack engineered channels. SmartTrack
creates the ultimate moisture management system.
-
SmoothLock™
Seam for smooth, straight lines
CraneBoard introduces
SmoothLock™ Seam. When you look at the planks of your CraneBoard
home, all you see are smooth, straight lines. Our locking system
features tapered edges that guide two siding panels together for a
tighter seal and secure, flat connection. Not fiber cement. Nor even
wood has a smoother appearance than you'll get with CraneBoard.
-
Extra
protection against insect invaders
The Performance Purple™**
SOLID CORE backing* features Perform Guard®‡ to help repel
termites and carpenter ants.
-
More
compact, denser foam construction
This backing is made SOLID to
stay solid. SmartCore Insulation is a more compact, denser foam
construction. It stays sturdy and solid through the installation
process, preventing damaged panels and flaking.
-
CraneBoard
really lives up to its R-Value.
The insulated backing and
locking nailing hem work together to ensure the integrity of the
horizontal and vertical thermal seal, protecting against air
infiltration and preventing thermal conductivity. The result? Added
comfort in every season and energy savings year-round.
