Modern Mill adds stainable shingle siding to ACRE lineup

Modern Mill on July 1 launched ACRE Perfection Shingle Siding, a composite panel designed to mimic cedar shingles without the rot, weathering and upkeep of wood. The new product expands the company’s ACRE line and is now available through its dealer and distributor network.

Why it matters: - ACRE Perfection Shingle Siding gives builders and homeowners a cedar-shingle look with composite durability. - The product is designed to cut maintenance by resisting water, weather, splintering and pests. - Modern Mill says the launch expands one of its most popular profiles into the ACRE lineup.

What happened: - Modern Mill announced the launch of ACRE Perfection Shingle Siding on July 1, 2026. - The Fernwood, Mississippi-based manufacturer said the new panel captures the look of cedar shingles while avoiding the weathering, rot and upkeep tied to real wood. - The product is available now through Modern Mill’s national network of dealers and distributors. - More information and sample requests are available on Modern Mill’s siding page.

The details: - ACRE Perfection Shingle Siding is the only stainable composite shingle on the market. - The panels accept stain evenly and avoid knots, sap lines and tannin bleed. - Each panel measures 4 feet long, 5/16 inch thick, 11-39/40 inches wide and has a 5 7/8-inch reveal. - The product is available pre-finished in Modern Mill’s Signature Stain Collection colors: Biloxi, Walnut, Amory, Laurel, Montauk Gray, Mahogany and ACRE Black. - The finishes use IR reflective stain technology developed with PPG. - Modern Mill says the siding does not require resealing over time.

Between the lines: - The launch pushes Modern Mill deeper into exterior products that blend traditional design with lower-maintenance materials. - The company is also leaning on stainability as a differentiator in a composite category where wood-like appearance often comes with finish limitations. - Modern Mill positioned the product as a major update to the ACRE line, signaling continued investment in its shingle offering.

What's next: - Dealers and distributors can begin selling the new siding immediately. - Contractors and homeowners can request samples as the product rolls into the market. - Modern Mill is likely to keep building around ACRE as a broader platform for siding, trim, sheet goods, porch boards and decking.

The bottom line: - Modern Mill is betting that a stainable, low-maintenance shingle panel can win buyers who want the cedar look without the cedar upkeep.
