Initial and Lifetime Costs

Exterior Portfolio™ by Crane has a wide selection of exterior cladding products that reduce the costs of your home initially and for its lifetime.  Some of these areas include:


INSTALLATION COSTS

  • Because Exterior Portfolio™ by Crane products go up faster than other exterior cladding product
  • Doesn’t need painting
  • Does not require a mason or other specialist for installation.
  • Shipping costs are less than other alternatives.

LIFETIME COSTS

Maintenance Freedom:   Exterior Portfolio™ by Crane eliminates the need to repair, maintain, or paint your home’s exterior.

  • Ability to withstand wind loads up to 215 mph (based upon type) reduces repair and/or replacement costs.
  • No painting is required.  ColorLife™ Fade Defense keeps exterior colors fresh and true for the life of the home, season after season. 
  • Superior durability reduces or eliminates repair and/or replacement due to impact damage (e.g. up to 240% more impact resistant than fiber cement.)


Energy Efficiency:  SOLID CORE™ insulated backing and the SmartTrack™ moisture management system helps to reduce energy costs.

  • The R in SOLID CORE™ stands for Energy Savings.  CraneBoard 6 and 7, along with BellaStone, have an R-Value of 4.0 which is 20 times the R-Value of fiber cement. 
  • When correctly installed, SOLID CORE SIDING can help meet the performance guidelines of an ENERGY STAR qualified new home.
  • Consumer federal tax credits up to $500 are available for home energy efficient improvements (www.energy.gov/taxbreaks.htm).
