Five Reasons Gentek Sequoia Siding Fits Huron Homes

Through And-Rod Construction’s Huron Home Package, Tobermory homeowners benefit from a trusted partnership with Gentek Building Products, specifically their Sequoia Vinyl Siding. This collaboration ensures that homes are designed with siding that delivers durability, style, and long-lasting value, tailored to the region’s weather and lifestyle. 

1. Strength That Withstands Harsh Weather

Sequoia Select features an extra-heavy .046″ wall thickness, offering superior rigidity and structural strength. It includes a full-roll nailing hem and an Advantage Lock System to securely interlock panels, improving overall stability. The product is tested to meet or exceed wind-load resistance standards (ASTM D5206) for negative windload—meaning it resists being pulled off the structure in high winds. In a region like Tobermory, with storms, snow load, freezing cycles, and strong winds off Lake Huron, these structural features help prevent warping, buckling, or panel failure.

2. Natural Beauty with Cedar-Grain Finish

The siding comes with a rich cedar-grain emboss in a low-gloss finish, giving the authentic appeal of natural wood texture without the maintenance challenges of real wood. A generous ¾″ lap height adds a deeper, dimensional shadow line to mimic real siding and wood boards more convincingly. Because the appearance is molded into the vinyl, the texture remains consistent over time, avoiding peeling or flaking as seen with painted surfaces.

3. Colour That Lasts for Generations

The Colour Clear Through® system ensures the siding has solid colour throughout the profile, not just surface coating, making scratches or surface wear less noticeable. For darker shades, Gentek applies ChromaTrue® fade-defying technology to resist UV fading over the years. The system also ensures colour coordination across siding, soffit, trim, and rainware, keeping homes looking fresh and cohesive as they age.

4. Low Maintenance, High Value

Unlike painted wood, Sequoia Select siding will not chip, blister, or flake because the colour runs solidly through the material. It also won’t rot, warp, or be damaged by moisture the way wood often is—especially in climates with snow, ice, freeze-thaw cycles, and dampness. Routine upkeep is minimal, requiring only occasional rinsing or gentle cleaning. Over a home’s lifetime, this siding eliminates the need for repeated repainting, sanding, sealing, or wood replacement, resulting in significant cost savings.

5. Peace of Mind with a Lifetime Warranty

Sequoia Select siding is backed by a lifetime limited, non-prorated, transferable warranty, ensuring protection that can even be passed to a future homeowner. The warranty includes hail protection and lifetime fade coverage (as defined in the policy). This level of protection provides homeowners in storm-prone regions, such as those near large lakes or shorelines, with peace of mind that their siding will continue to perform and protect against extreme weather conditions.

Mulching Materials for Bruce County’s Climate

Image
Mulch is a thick layer of material placed over the soil and around plants, used to suppress weeds and lock moisture into the soil while acting as a physical barrier to drying winds and direct sun (BBC Gardeners' World Magazine, 2021). Given the unique climate and diverse soil conditions in Bruce County, selecting the right and best mulch is important for a strong and healthy garden that is appropriate for the needs of the plants and the local environment. There are many materials you can use for this purpose; the only types you should ever consider using in your garden are those from natural and biodegradable materials. Wood chips, pine bark, leaves, straw, grass clippings – these are all examples of beneficial mulch because they decompose and provide many more benefits to your soil (Lamp’l, 2019).   Wood Chips Wood chips are shredded, chipped, or ground-up pieces of wood.
