lmost become synony-

ng7 for some horneown.-
rs, But there is a way to
ive your house exterior
he crisp freshness of a
just-painted" look that
ill last indefinitely.
Solid color „/
While aluminum siding
ill eventually need re-
ainting, vinyl will never
eed touching up because
is solid color all the way
rough.
Because vinyl's color is
times thicker than the
ainted surface of alumi-
urn siding, vinyl assures
e homeowner that there
no danger of peeling,
istering or wear.
Stain removal is also a
ap with vinyl siding.
sually, simple washing
ith a sponge and soapy •
ater will make vinyl look
good as the day it was
stalled.
Impact resistant
A stray baseball can
ake a dent in metal sid-
ing — a dent that some-
times can only be repaired
by removing the entire
panel of siding.
No rat-a-tat!
Vinyl siding. is quiet, too.
Because it dOes not tele-
graph sound, vinyl mini-
mizes the rat-a-tat sounds
of hail and rain, as well
as muffling outside noises.
And unlike metal sidings,
which expand and con-
tract with weather
changes, vinyl doesn't
snap and pop due to tem=
perature changes.
Safety is another, im-
portant reason for select-
ing vinyl siding — as evi-
denced by its widespread
use in aircraft interiors.
Unlike metal sidings, vinyl •
does not attract lightning,
nor does it conduct elec-
tricity. Therefore, no
grounding system is nec-
essary when you install
vinyl siding.
After all, "home im-
pr ovem en t " shouldn't
have to mean "house
painting."
