Warranty Guide

Care and MaintenanCe
Your selection of siding to cover your most valuable investment should
provide a beautiful appearance and long lasting protection for your
home. To keep your investment beautiful over the years, you should
implement the following procedure for the major care of your siding.
While siding comes closer to being totally maintenance free than any
other siding on the market today, it will become dirty just as does a
freshly painted house or a new automobile or any other product which
is exposed to atmospheric conditions. Generally, your siding can be
cleaned satisfactorily through the use of an ordinary garden hose. If this
does not do the job, then we suggest the following:
Equip the garden hose with a soft-bristled, long-handled car brush.
Where soil is of a stubborn nature (as frequently found in industrial
areas), the following cleaning solution works well:
1/3 cup detergent (e.g., Tide)
2/3 cup trisodium phosphate (e.g., Soilax)
1 gallon of water
In certain geographical areas where mildew may be a problem,
substitute one quart of 5% sodium hydrochlorite (Clorox, for example)
for one quart of water in the above formula. Where the house is
extremely dirty, it is recommended that you start washing from the
bottom and go to the top, rinsing frequently. Cleaning solutions should
be permitted to stand on the surface of the siding for several minutes
before rinsing.
CAUTION: Do not use or mix sodium hypochlorite with other
household chemicals or products containing ammonia. To do so will
release hazardous gases.

claim relating to the siding. Excessive Color Fade means a change in
the color of any siding in excess of a Delta E, as determined by us,
and specified below by color, following the initial installation of the
Product, provided that any uneven or abnormal fade distribution is
not due to a buildup or accumulation of stains, dirt, mold, mildew,
or any other deficiency caused by the lack of at least an annual
preventative maintenance by the homeowner as such annual
preventative maintenance is described below in Care and
Maintenance. In addition, the excessive color fade warranty does not
apply to custom colors of siding and accessories. First-Time

interest of the initial purchaser in the building on which the siding is
initially installed or in the siding itself is voluntarily or involuntarily
conveyed, transferred or assigned, whether by gift, sale or operation

Purchase and Installation Price means the sum of (a) the total original
cost of the siding that is defective or otherwise being replaced, plus (b)
the total original cost of labor for the installation of siding that is
defective or otherwise being replaced. If we cannot determine these
amounts from original documents, we will compute the purchase and
installation price using (i) our suggested retail price in effect at the time
of the installation for the cost of material, (ii) labor rates prevailing in
the area where the building is located at the time of installation and (iii)
an estimated installation time for the cost of labor. Residence means
regular or full-time permanent lodging by a single family. Weathering

any transfer of the property, your obligations become the obligations of
the new property owners.
