Siding, Soffit, and Gutter Experts in Pittsburgh
Metropolitan Window Company

Alside Siding website lgo and  linkWe are very proud to be a major distributor of Alside Product Line of Siding, Soffit and their accessories. Alside has been delivering low maintenance residential siding since 1947 and have been innovators in raising the bar on appearance and performance.

Today, Alside's advanced technology delivers stronger, more rigid siding systems that hug the home tighter, as well as rich, long-lasting colors and subtle textures that capture the authentic look of wood. Trim and accessories are available in a full range of styles and complementary colors for a completely custom look.

Whether you are remodeling a Victorian jewel or renovating your home, whatever your budget, you will find that Alside's vinyl and steel siding offers the choice and value you're looking for.

Exterior Accents House with Alside vinyl sidingThere's a reason vinyl siding is the most popular choice for remodeling and even historic renovation. It delivers the warm, quality appearance of wood without the costly, time-consuming maintenance and repairs. Vinyl won't split, peel or rot. And because its color goes clear through the panel, it never needs to be scraped, stained or painted.

Alside vinyl siding is manufactured with proprietary designs and ingredients to deliver greater durability, rigidity and wind resistance; more attractive, fade-resistant colors; more authentic touches and historical details. Maintenance? All you need is a garden hose to keep your siding looking great for years to come.

Alside Charter Oak Energy Elite Vinyl Siding website linkCharter Oak® Energy Elite is an insulated siding system that combines select materials and refined designs with exceptional energy efficiency.

The inside of your home will be cooler in summer, warmer in winter and quieter year-round because Charter Oak Energy Elite is manufactured with Fullback®, a precisely contoured insulating foam underlayment that provides all the benefits of our flagship Charter Oak® premium vinyl siding.

Charter Oak XXL Vinyl Siding website linkCharter Oak® XXL reinforced premium vinyl siding is more than twice as long as standard siding, 25' to be exact. That means significantly fewer overlaps if any at all. The extended length panels can be used on their own and in combination with our 16' 8" panels and standard 12' 1" panels to minimize or eliminate unsightly joints – the area where individual “board” lengths come together. And due to its superior rigidity, the course lines are straight and smooth. With Charter Oak XXL, the overall appearance is one of uniform, uninterrupted beauty.

XXL Features:

  • Exclusive TriBeam™ design
  • Extra long 25' panels

Available in the Charter Oak series of siding and soffit, as well as selected Trimworks accessories, these six deep, rich colors blend the dependability of vinyl with the stability of ChromaTrue™ copolymer technology.

ChromaTrue™ ASA copolymer safeguards the siding panel from fading in the sun, in addition to providing increased resistance to scratches and dings. In fact, Alside offers industry-best fade coverage in a Lifetime, transferable warranty.

Alside Charter Oak Vinyl Soffit LogoCharter Oak® is one beautiful soffit panel. But its real beauty lies beneath the surface with its revolutionary TriBeam™ Design.

Thanks to TriBeam, Charter Oak is the most rigid vinyl soffit on the market. It spans uneven surfaces and delivers an exceptionally even course line while resisting sagging and twisting over long runs. Charter Oak soffit is an attractive, low-maintenance option for porch ceilings, large overhangs, or anywhere you want to create high impact visual appeal. For eaves, specify Charter Oak ventilated soffit paneling. Aeration openings hidden inside the panel's grooves provide the air flow that reduces heat and humidity build-up in attics.

Alside Soffit on pillared house thumbGently rounded board edges and elegant 3-1/3” exposure width combine with hidden aeration openings to provide the premium appearance of expensive wood soffit. And its finely textured, low-gloss surface looks and feels like freshly applied paint. Plus, Charter Oak soffit is available in 21 colors that can be beautifully coordinated with all Alside siding, trim, and accent options.

Equally important, Alside backs Charter Oak Soffit with our Lifetime Limited Warranty and over 50 years of leadership and innovation in the building products industry.
