ORDER TIMBERTECH CLADDING SAMPLES
Bangor, Maine, sits on the banks of the Penobscot River with a rich history tied closely to wood. Naturally, a new amphitheater and architectural jewel for the city should showcase the beauty of wood. But Maine weather extremes are tough on exterior hardwood. The architect and client agreed that the look of premium wood was what the aesthetics of this venue needed but knew the ongoing maintenance of exterior hardwoods was not possible, given the realities of Maine’s climate and the busy music season. Fortunately, they discovered TimberTech Advanced PVC Cladding. TimberTech Cladding was a highly visible part of the design. In addition to the overall aesthetics, TimberTech contributed to the sustainability, acoustics, and weatherability of the structure.

TimberTech delivered the industry’s most realistic tropical hardwood appearance, in multiple colors and board widths for a luxurious feel.
A material that will perform in Maine’s weather extremes, avoiding natural wood’s fading and patination.
TimberTech delivered a Commercial Limited Warranty and Fade-and-Stain Warranty supporting the architect-specified lifespan of forty years.
TimberTech eliminated the need for painting or staining. An advanced PVC that will look great without the upkeep of wood.
U.S.-made product with high recycled content, superior carbon impact over tropical hardwoods, no need for VOC-rich coatings or stains, and end-of-life recyclability through the AZEK FULL-CIRCLE Recycling® Program.
Project achitect Robert Ervin is deeply concerned about climate change and the role that construction and manufacturing plays in affecting those changes. Architects, through their designs and materials specifications, can be at the forefront of forestalling or even reversing the trends. For the Ampitheater project, Ervin considered water conservation, energy conservation, renewable content, and recycled content. TimberTech Cladding added significantly to the project's sustainability profile. "A green product is one that's going to last for 40 years or longer – and that's TimberTech," explained Ervin. The high recycled content of the cladding – approximately 60% – reduced both energy and net-new petroleum use compared to virgin materials. U.S.-based production facilities for TimberTech recycle some 99% of internally generated scrap and recycle 96% of the water used in manufacturing. Scrap collection at some 1,200 sites contribute to the 2.1 billion pounds of waste and scrap recycled since 2019. Importantly, this sustainability came with no compromise to the aesthetics of the design.
“A green product is one that's going to last 40 years or longer – and that's TimberTech.
AZEK is very sophisticated compared to peers, it is the most convincing PVC board I've ever seen. It is artfully done.”
