Siding Design Versatility
A range of rich Wood Décor and Lumen Décors colors give you abundant design possibilities. Pura Décors work with any architectural style.
Wood Décor colors are impressively consistent, vivid, and realistic tones from light grays to natural browns to deep charcoal. Lumen Décors come in white, black, and grey “neutrals” that are anything but, and a light diffusing matte finish.

Lower Maintenance Needs
Exterior design clients want attractive siding that is also low maintenance. Pura NFC never requires refinishing and can be cleaned with simple soap and water. A big advantage of Pura NFC is Trespa’s patented EBC (Electron Beam Curing) process which locks the color and finish in and keeps moisture out. It also helps repel ground-in dirt from occurring over time, preventing a dimmed finish.
Environmental Commitment
Eco-conscious building practices are important to home designers and homeowners alike. Trespa is dedicated to sustainability and committed to achieving higher and higher sustainability goals.

What Difference Does the Siding Installation Method Make?
The siding installation method you choose can, of course, significantly impact the performance and longevity of any type of siding material. Pura NFC siding will perform beautifully for decades when installed correctly with any of the typical methods.
But to set your design apart and more than meet your client’s project criteria, it's worth considering an innovative alternative siding installation. By combining Pura NFC siding with the Mataverde Climate-Shield CST1 Rainscreen System it will heighten the overall building performance and add to the curb appeal.

Excellent Aesthetic Appeal
Climate-Shield CST1 installation is even and consistent with a clean, professional finish and highly desired reveal. It is equally suitable for traditional, contemporary, or modern architectural styles. Colors can be mixed for contrast or to create a consistent exterior.
Added Design Versatility
The CST1 system can install Pura NFC horizontally, vertically or both.
Installing architectural details as designed is easier than ever since there are no furring strip grids to contend with. It can be used to cover soffits, create clean corners, be used in random lengths or not.
Vertical designs installations are elegantly simple with CST1 rainscreen components.
Sustainable and Cost-Effective
The use of recyclable materials and reduced wood waste associated with the CST1 rainscreen system improves the building's environmental footprint and long-term value.

Improved Energy Efficiency
Proper ventilation can contribute to better insulation, releasing warm and humid air, in turn potentially reducing energy consumption and costs.
Increased Longevity
Since the Climate-Shield CST1 rainscreen system promotes ventilation behind the siding and prevents decay, it can help extend the lifetime your exterior design.
The Climate-Shield Rainscreen System is an ingeniously designed back ventilated, open-joint rainscreen that allows bulk water to escape behind the siding.
Elevated Moisture Protection
The rainscreen system acts as a barrier, safeguarding the building envelope from water damage.
By eliminating the usual complicated furring strip grid behind the siding and design details, it also eliminates the corners and pockets where moisture and moist air can get trapped against the wood and exterior envelope and cause problems.
