The manufacturer’s WeatherBoards Fiber Cement Lap Siding with a ColorMax finish in Autumn Red revived the historic look of the structure and, unlike traditional wood siding, is noncombustible and impervious to wood-boring insects, resists the damaging effects of the sun and salt spray and will not rot.

The local landmark now serves as functional workspace for two environmentally focused not-for-profit organizations — Skylands CLEAN, Inc. and the Passaic River Coalition.

“CertainTeed fiber cement siding provides the aesthetics of real wood siding without the heavy maintenance and ongoing hassles typically associated with it,” said Phyllis Vail, director of marketing communications for CertainTeed’s Siding Products Group. “We are happy to help provide the people of Ringwood with a newly renovated local landmark that offers both beneficial and educational activities to the community.”

WeatherBoard fiber siding is offered in a variety of profiles with realistic textures that provide the handsome appearance of wood. It is available in six prefinished premium stains, as well as 16 designer colors through the CertainTeed ColorMax Finishing System.

The product is backed by a 50-year limited transferable warranty.

With 50% recycled content, WeatherBoards siding can be applied toward certification under the National Green Building Standard.
