  • Lower total installed cost – may save 10% or more with reduced time and fewer laborers required
  • No special tools, special skills or respirators required; no sealing, joint flashing, caulking, or touching up
  • Forgiving hang – conceals uneven surfaces; self-aligning interlock ensures a consistent appearance
  • (GP)2 Technology® provides greater structural integrity – resists high winds, moisture and impact damage from dents and dings
