Glacier Blue Vinyl Siding Color | Examples, Information, Prices

Glacier Blue Vinyl Siding
A case study, information, reviews, examples and pricing

One of the most beautiful and stunning color samples of vinyl siding is a particular hue known as "Glacier Blue". This spectacular shaded-color vinyl siding is exclusively manufactured by the Mastic Siding Company, which is owned by the larger corporation "Ply-Gem". 

If your searching for information about glacier blue, you'll find plenty of it here, in fact more so than any other source on the internet. I know this because I've done the research myself. You will however find loads of information around my blog and if you look at the links I have on the sidebars, you'll see that there is a lot of information that will answer ALL of your questions regarding prices and such. 

Unfortunately the beautiful color glacier blue is ONLY available in Mastic Siding's highest grade premium siding, which means that it can sometimes be more costly than other sidings but it's probably worth it. If you really want to have a unique and gorgeous siding color that is different than what everyone else is siding their home with, you'll find that glacier blue vinyl is an absolute star among vinyl siding options available elsewhere. 

The color itself:

The actual color process impregnated into the vinyl is a shaded color method that allows the bluish-gray coloring to be an actual part of the siding itself! That's what makes it so unique and gorgeous. It won't even matter if you scratch the siding, because the color goes all the way through (and it's a VERY thick panel of vinyl). 

You really can't duplicate the beautiful look of glacier blue vinyl siding in person, but you'll find it pretty close here. Check out the other resources I have around my blog that will give you lots more information, INCLUDING PRICING.

Sage Colored Vinyl Siding... All about it!

Beautiful sage colored vinyl siding is by far one of the most popular colored siding colors available today on the vinyl market.


I've personally noticed more and more people interested in siding their home with a sage color within the past 5 years or so and it doesn't seem to be dwindling. People just aren't going for those crazy, bold colors like they did for a while (anyone remember that awful teal color that was popular for a few years?).

Sage colored vinyl siding can really look fantastic on nearly any home and it blends well with most surroundings. Whether you're in a two story colonial, a ranch home, or a mansion, you'll find that sage is a wonderful color that goes extremely well with premium quality vinyl siding brands.

Certainteed, Mastic, Alcoa, Plygem, Variform, Napco, and Alside all manufacture a really great line of vinyl siding materials that include sage colors. The only difficulty can be, is finding the colors that actually are the sage color you're looking for. Here's some tips!

Finding the right sage color in vinyl siding


Unfortunately, vinyl siding colors aren't always simply labeled as "sage". They often are labeled with creative names that are in fact the sage color you might be looking for, but won't exactly be saying "SAGE" on it. For example, the siding brand 'Mastic' carries a line called "Quest Signature" and has a few siding colors that are indeed various shades of sage coloring.


  1. Scottish Thistle
  2. Sage
  3. Cypress
  4. Willow
Are all siding colors that actually are different shades of "sage" vinyl siding but you won't know it until you actually see samples. I've provided plenty of resources around my blog that you can link to and see samples from the manufacturers, find cheap siding prices, get free estimates on vinyl siding, etc...

Look around and have fun! Good luck picking out a GREAT sage color for your vinyl siding project! Always remember, it's free to get estimates from local contractors and you can find really good ones via internet estimate sites.
