Chelsea Building Products has announced a distribution partnership with another Pittsburgh-based company, Bennett Supply Co. Bennett Supply will carry Everlast Advanced Composite Siding from Chelsea Building Products, making the product available in the mid-Atlantic region.
Founded in 1962, Bennett Supply is a two-step specialty building material distributor with four divisions operating in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York. Bennett Supply is headquartered just 15 miles from downtown Pittsburgh, with its three distribution facilities servicing the areas of western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, northeast Ohio, and western New York. They will promote the entire line of Everlast, including all 14 colors in both 4-1/2- and 6-7/8-inch plank sizes.
“There is a strong and recognized need in the premium siding market because the current products are falling out of favor,” says Andy Bennett, vice president at Bennett Supply Co.. “Everlast has a serious competitive edge relative to the products on the market today.”
Everlast is a triple-composite product that replicates the look and texture of real cedar without any of the cons that are associated with wood, like fading and rotting. In addition, it installs with ease, and it is safer to work with compared to fiber cement siding.
“Lumber yards, one-steppers, and siding contractors find fiber cement difficult to work with because it’s heavy and brittle, dirty, and requires more manpower to install,” adds Bennett. “The feedback we’ve received so far from our sales team on Everlast has been nothing short of phenomenal. We’re really excited to be distributing Everlast Advanced Composite Siding.”
