Siding and Accessories

Mastic Cedar Discovery™ Siding and Accessories (the "Products") are manufactured by Alcoa Building Products, Inc., in accordance with high standards and tight quality controls. The Products will not rust or corrode because they are made of rigid polypropylene, and they will not flake or peel because there is no paint to flake or peel.

What Does This Warranty Cover?

Lifetime Limited Warranty. Mastic warrants to you, the owner of the property at the time the Products were installed, that the Products are free from defects in material and workmanship in the course of manufacture if installed according to our specifications.

Limited Fade Warranty. Mastic also warrants to you that for a limited period specified below, the Products will not excessively fade. "Excessive Fading" is more than "normal fading" (see below) which is in excess of a Delta E of 4 Hunter units, as determined by Mastic.

What Will We do?

You must notify us in accordance with the notice requirements outlined below, and we must validate the complaint. Upon the notification and validation, we will undertake the following:

Lifetime Limited Warranty. At our sole option, we will either repair, replace, refinish or refund to you the value of the Products found to be defective (or prorated if this warranty is transferred). Our obligations under this Warranty will in no event exceed the purchase price of the originally installed Products found to be defective and the cost of the labor involved in the original installation of such defective Products.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Mastic Cedar Discovery siding is one of the most durable building products materials available today for residential applications. In most cases, normal rainfall is sufficient to keep it clean. But if your Mastic Cedar Discovery siding and Accessories should need cleaning, the following procedures are recommended. Particular attention should be given to areas under eaves, porches, awnings, and other overhangs that have limited exposure to the natural washing effect of rainfall.

1. Moderate Atmospheric Dirt – An occasional washing with clear water using a garden hose and soft-bristled brush is recommended (a long-handled, car-washing brush is ideal for this purpose).

2. Heavy Industrial Atmospheric Dirt – Wash in the manner indicated above, but use the following solution:

a. 1/3 cup detergent (Tide®, for example)

b. 2/3 cup trisodium phosphate (Soilax®, for example)

c. 1 gallon water

3. Mildew Accumulation – Mildew can collect on surfaces of all types of building products and is often evident on surfaces that have not been properly cared for and maintained. Normally, mildew will appear as black spots. Mildew is easy to remove by using the basic cleaning solution above with the addition of sodium hypochlorite as follows:

a. 1/3 cup detergent (Tide®, for example)

b. 2/3 cup trisodium phosphate (Soilax®, for example)

c. 1 quart sodium hypochlorite 5% solution (Clorox®, for example)

d. 3 quarts water

4. Caulking Compounds, Tar and Similar Substances – Use mineral spirits in reasonable amounts and apply directly to the foreign substance. Immediately after cleaning, rinse the area thoroughly with water.

CAUTION: Do not exceed the recommended concentrations of cleaners. To do so can cause damage to the products' surface. Avoid skin and eye contact with the solution, and in all cases follow manufacturer's instructions for the use of cleaning compounds and solutions. Avoid use of abrasive-type cleaners and strong solvents. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area before applying to major areas. To minimize streaking, always clean from the bottom to the top and follow with a rinsing of clear water. Excessive scrubbing is unnecessary, can be harmful to the products, and may cause undesirable glossy areas over the finish.

IMPORTANT: Fire Safety Information

Exterior polymar building materials require little maintenance for many years. Nevertheless, common sense dictates that builders and suppliers of polymar products store, handle and install polymar materials in a manner that avoids damage to the product and/or structure. Owners and Installers should take a few simple steps to protect polymar building materials from fire.

To the Home and Building Owner

Rigid polypropylene siding is made from organic material and will melt or burn when exposed to a significant source of flame or heat. Building owners, occupants and outside maintenance personnel should always take normal precautions to keep sources of fire, such as barbecues, and combustible materials, such as dry leaves, mulch and trash away from rigid polypropylene siding.
