(ARA) - Getting tired of that faded vinyl 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 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 technology to restore and protect vinyl 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 they will soon once again have that chalky
appearance and could become brittle," says Vincent R. Valles, Sr., founder
of Dur-A-Shield.
Vinyl ReNu has a specific cleaning and restoration process to restore the
color and brilliance of vinyl siding. Cleaning the surface and applying the
product are easy to do -- and something some homeowners could choose to do themselves,
although the company also has dealers/contractors who can do the work.
Restoring vinyl siding with a product such as Vinyl ReNu costs about one-fifth
less than replacing siding and it carries a 10-year guarantee. A kit with cleaning
solution, cleaning brush, and enough Vinyl ReNu to cover about 1,800 square
feet of siding is less than $300. Valles says even one of the largest vinyl
siding manufacturers in the country is using the product to satisfy warranty
claims because it is more cost- effective than replacing the siding.
By restoring your vinyl siding instead of replacing it, you will also be
doing your part to cut down on the more than 2 million pounds of old and faded
siding dumped into landfills each year.
Because Vinyl ReNu forms a clear, tough shield that protects the surface,
it 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.
Vinyl ReNu can be purchased directly from the company at its Web site, www.vinylrenu.com
or by calling (800) 280-1322.
