(ARA) - Getting tired of looking at that faded siding on your home? Many homeowners believe their only alternative is to replace siding that has lost its luster as a result of UV radiation and acid rain. But there is a less expensive solution.
Before you replace that faded vinyl, aluminum or steel siding on your home, you may want to consider another option that can save you money -- while at the same time giving your siding a new look and long-lasting protection.
Vinyl ReNu is an environmentally friendly anti-microbial polymer that addresses the root cause of the oxidation and fading. Scientists from the Polymer Research and Engineering Center at the University of Southern Mississippi -- experts in the field of polymer science -- conducted extensive research in developing Vinyl ReNu, which is made by Dur-A-Shield International, Inc., a company long known for its restoration products for exterior surfaces. The scientists have incorporated the latest polymer technology to restore and protect vinyl, aluminum and steel siding from nature’s elements.
“Homeowners need to know that it is very important to get to the real cause of the fading and oxidation. Otherwise, simply cleaning the siding, pressure-washing it or painting it, won’t last -- and it will soon once again have that dull chalky appearance,” says Vincent R. Valles, Sr., founder of Dur-A-Shield.
Vinyl ReNu has developed a specific cleaning and restoration process to restore the color and brilliance of vinyl, aluminum or steel siding. All of its contractors must go through training classes at least twice a year to keep up with the latest application training techniques. Restoring your vinyl, aluminum or steel siding with a product such as Vinyl ReNu costs about one-fifth less than replacing siding and it carries a 10-year guarantee. Valles says even some of the largest vinyl and steel siding manufacturers in the country are using the product to satisfy warranty claims because it is more cost-effective than replacing the siding.
By restoring your siding instead of replacing it, you will also be doing your part to cut down on the millions of pounds of old and faded siding dumped into landfills each year. Vinyl ReNu forms a clear, tough shield that protects the surface, it’s built in biocide also prevents the growth of mold, mildew and fungus. And if you are a homeowner who would like to have a different color for your siding, you can paint after you have used it.
