Gentek Sequoia Select
Premium Ultra-Rigid Vinyl Siding for Residential Homes
Gentek Sequoia Select is a premium vinyl siding system engineered for homeowners who want a more rigid, refined exterior appearance without the upkeep of traditional wood siding. With a heavy-duty .046″ nominal thickness, Sequoia Select offers enhanced stiffness and dimensional stability compared to standard vinyl siding profiles.

Key Features
Heavy-Duty Construction with Enhanced Rigidity
Gentek Sequoia Select is designed to deliver long-term performance, straight walls, and consistent appearance through a combination of material thickness and refined panel design:
- Heavy-duty .046″ nominal thickness for increased rigidity and resistance to waviness.
- Low-gloss cedargrain texture that replicates the look of painted wood while reducing glare.
- Colour Clear Through® vinyl construction, helping colour remain consistent even if the surface is scratched.
- Full-roll nailing hem for improved attachment strength and secure installation.
- Vinyl material that won’t rot, peel, flake, or blister, eliminating the need for painting or sealing.
- Backed by a lifetime limited, transferable warranty including fade and hail protection
These features make Sequoia Select a strong choice for homeowners prioritizing durability, appearance stability, and minimal maintenance.

Performance & Durability
Designed for Long-Term Residential Performance
Sequoia Select’s heavier panel construction contributes to improved dimensional stability and resistance to common exterior stresses. The reinforced panel design helps maintain straight walls and consistent alignment over time.
Performance characteristics include:
- Resistance to moisture-related issues such as rot and warping
- Stable performance through seasonal temperature changes
- Reduced risk of waviness compared to thinner vinyl siding
- Minimal maintenance — no painting, staining, or sealing required
Gentek notes that wind performance varies by profile, but the heavier gauge construction and secure attachment system contribute to overall resistance when installed properly.
