SUGARCREEK, Ohio, August 29, 2023 – ProVia has expanded the company’s siding lineup with the addition of Harbor Mill™ polypropylene Shake and Shingle Siding, providing a superior cladding option for building professionals.

Remodelers, builders and architects can now offer homeowners the rustic look of traditional rough-sawn shingle and staggered hand-split shake, minus the expense and high maintenance of cedar.

To preserve this authentic look, both profiles are modeled after hand-picked cedar pieces using highly accurate laser scanning to ensure the finest details and textures are carried over into each Harbor Mill Shake and Shingle. The result is a product that not only looks ultra-realistic but has the versatility and ease of maintenance that ProVia siding products are known for.

Engineered for Easy Installation

But this siding is more than just a pretty façade. Harbor Mill was designed with the installer in mind, incorporating built-in features that aid in a more efficient, hassle-free installation. In addition to the rigid, lightweight profile that makes it easier to handle, Harbor Mill panels include:

  • Drop Guard—Secures the panel in position while the installer fastens it to the wall. This hands-free advantage results in a straighter set-up, and less effort for the installer.
  • Continuous Lock—Anchors each panel together, providing stability and durability.
  • Alignment Guide—Prevents the panel from unlocking from the overlapping panel while leaving room for expansion and contraction.
  • Stagger Pattern Marks—Indicate the order in which the panels are cut to maintain a proper stagger pattern.
  • Matching Corners—Ensure a seamless look with coordinating shake or shingle grain patterns.
  • Seam Lock (reverse side)—Makes joint overlaps effectively invisible, even to the trained eye. The result is a smooth, seamless appearance with great curb appeal.

These details make it easier to position and fasten the siding panels—a huge advantage when you’re 20 feet high on a ladder at the jobsite! Learn more about Harbor Mill Polypropylene Shake and Shingle Siding.
