ENRICHING COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS

With the planet’s future at stake, green building has never been so important. That is why at KP Building Products we have ensured that our vinyl meets the strictest environmental standards set forth by leading authorities. Throughout KP’s manufacturing, transport, installation, service life and waste management processes, vinyl siding scores well compared to alternative products. Considered by the NAHB to last a lifetime, vinyl siding is extremely durable making it more sustainable than its substitutes. KP Building Products are built to last. This means that our vinyl spends its life on your home, not in a landfill. All of these factors contribute to making communities greener with the most popular exterior cladding in North America.
