The latter is ensured by a reliable lock fastening and flawless panel geometry.

The dimensions of the panels are optimal for the lining of standard buildings - they are quite long, which does not interfere with their transportation and storage.By the way, they are packaged in a polyethylene sleeve with corrugated cardboard ends, which corresponds to the siding storage recommendations.

For its products, the manufacturer gives a guarantee of at least 30 years, which is a guarantee of high quality panels. Due to the high performance characteristics, profiles can be used at temperatures from -50 to + 60С. The manufacturer produces panels, focused on operation in the harsh domestic weather conditions.

Under the panels can be laid insulation. The optimal thermal insulation materials for profiles are mineral wool, foam, polyurethane foam. Due to the nature of the material, it is biostable.

Color panels of this manufacturer retain shade during the entire period of operation.that is achieved through the use of special staining technology.The additives in the panels protect vinyl siding from burning, the fire hazard of the material is class G2 (slightly combustible). The panels will melt but not burn.

The front siding from the Alta-Profil company is presented by the following series:

• Alaska A feature of the panels in this series is that they comply with Canadian standards (rather strict), and Pen Color (USA) took control of the production process. The result is a material that meets European quality and safety requirements. The color palette has 9 shades.

• "Block house". The vinyl siding of this series imitates the rounded log. Moreover, the imitation is so accurate that it can only be distinguished upon closer examination. Elements are available in 5 colors.

• Kanada Plus series. The siding from this series will be appreciated by those who are looking for panels of beautiful shades. The luxury series includes a variety of color plastic profiles, produced in accordance with the standards that are accepted in Canada. The most sought-after collections are Premium and Prestige.
• Quadrohouse Series - This is a vertical siding, characterized by the richness of the color palette: the profiles are bright with a glossy sheen. Such panels allow you to visually "pull out" the building, to get the original lining.
• Alta Siding. The panels of this series are characterized by traditional production, classic size and color scheme. This series is the most popular. Among other advantages, they are characterized by increased color fastness, due to the use of special dyeing technologies.

• In addition to vinyl panels, the manufacturer produces their more durable analog based on acrylic. We should also highlight the strips for finishing with enhanced insulation characteristics, which is achieved due to the peculiarities of production (they are based on foamed polyvinyl chloride). They mimic wooden surfaces and are designed exclusively for horizontal installation. The series is called “Alta-Bort”, the appearance of the panels is “herringbone”.
• In addition to the facade, grounding siding is available, characterized by high strength and convenient for mounting dimensions.The main purpose of such panels is facing the basement part of the building, which is more susceptible to frost penetration, moisture and mechanical damage. The service life of the material is 30-50 years.

Siding profiles can be painted or imitate a certain surface.

The most popular are several textures.

• Facade tiles. Imitates tile with thin bridges between tiles, which are square and rectangular.
• Canyon. According to its external characteristics, the material is identical to natural stone; it is resistant to the effects of low temperatures, ultraviolet rays.
• Granite. Thanks to a fairly rough surface, an imitation of natural stone is created.
• Brick. Imitation of classic brickwork, aged or clinker variant possible.
• "Antique Brick". Mimics antique material. The bricks in this version are somewhat longer than in the “Brick” series. They may have an aged appearance, a deliberate violation of geometry.
• A rock. The material is similar to the "Canyon", but has a less pronounced relief pattern.
• Rocky stone This finish looks particularly impressive on large areas.
• Rubble stone. Externally, the material is similar to facing large untreated cobblestones.

The length of the panels "Alta Profile" varies in the range of 3000-3660 mm. The shortest are the profiles of the Alta-Bord series - their dimensions are 3000x180x14 mm. Quite a large thickness due to the fact that the panels have high thermal insulation properties.

The longest panels can be found in the Alta Siding and Kanada Plus series. The parameters of the panels coincide and constitute 3660 × 230 × 1.1 mm. By the way, Kanada Plus is an acrylic siding.

The panels of the Blockhouse series have a length of 3010 mm with a thickness of 1.1 mm. The width of the material varies: for single-fractured panels - 200 ml, for two-fractured panels - 320 mm. At the same time, the former are made of vinyl, the latter are acrylic.

The Quadrohouse vertical profile is presented in vinyl and acrylic version and has parameters of 3100x205x1.1 mm.

As for color, the usual white, gray, smoky, blue shades can be found in the Alta Profile series. Noble and unusual shades of strawberry, peach, golden, pistachio color are presented in “Kanada Plus”, Quadrohouse and “Alta-board”. The logs simulated by the Blockhouse series have a shade of light oak, brown-red (two-rugged siding), beige, peach and golden (single-fracture analogue) color.

For example, the “Brick” collection has a width of 465 mm, and the “Rocky Stone” - 448 mm. Minimum consider the length of the basement panels "Canyon" (1158 mm), and the maximum - the length of the profile "Clinker brick", which is equal to 1217 mm. The length of the remaining types of panels varies within the specified values. Based on the size, it is possible to calculate the area of ​​one base panel - it is 0.5-0.55 square meters. m. That is, the installation process will be quite operational.

Each panel series has its own additional elements - corners (external and internal), different profiles. On average, any series has 11 items. The big advantage is the ability to choose the color of the finishing panels in the shade of siding.

All components for siding brand "Alta-Profile" can be divided into 2 groups.

• "Alta-grade." Includes accessories for siding and film for water vapor barrier.These include elements for mounting siding, insulating materials, crates.
• "Alta Decor". It includes finishing elements: corners, strips, trim, slopes.

Installing siding panels from Alta Provil has no features: panels are mounted just like any other type of siding.

First of all, a wooden or metal frame is installed along the perimeter of the building. By the way, among the products of the brand you can find a special plastic crate. Its advantage is the sharpened structure under the panel “Alta-Profile”, that is, the siding mount will be convenient and fast.

Carrying profiles are attached to the crate. Then the marking is made for the installation of U-shaped brackets made of metal. The next step is the installation of brackets and lintels, the design of corners and slopes. Finally, in accordance with the proposed instruction, PVC panels are mounted.

Siding does not load the foundation of the building, as it is suitable even for facing a dilapidated house, without requiring reinforcement of the foundation.It can be used for full or partial cladding, highlighting certain structural elements. Due to the presence of a large collection of additional elements, it is possible to revet even the structures of fancy shapes.

Special care for the siding during operation is not required. As a rule, during rains self-cleaning of surfaces occurs. This is especially noticeable on the vertical siding - water, not encountering obstacles in the form of grooves and protrusions, flows from top to bottom. When drying on the material does not remain stains and "tracks".

If necessary, you can wash the walls with water and a sponge or use a hose. With strong pollution, you can use the usual detergents - neither the material itself nor its shade will suffer.

Analyzing the reviews of those who used Alta-Profile siding, it can be emphasized that customers note the high accuracy of the grooves and the geometry of the panels. Due to this installation takes a little time (for beginners - less than a week), and the appearance of the building turns out impeccable.

Those who write about the decoration of old houses with uneven walls, note that even with such initial options, the final result was worthy. This is the merit of not only the geometric accuracy of the panels, but also the additional elements.
