THE VINYL SIDING INSTITUTE’S IMPORTANT FIRE SAFETY
INFORMATION STATEMENT IS AS FOLLOWS:
Exterior vinyl building materials require little maintenance for many
years. Nevertheless, common sense dictates that builders and
suppliers of vinyl products store, handle and install vinyl materials
in a manner that avoids damage to the product and/or structure.
Owners and Installers should take a few simple steps to protect vinyl
building materials from fire.
TO HOME AND BUILDING OWNERS:
Rigid vinyl siding is made from organic materials 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
barbeques, and combustible materials, such as dry leaves, mulch
and trash, away from vinyl siding.
TO THE BUILDING TRADES, SPECIFIERS, PROFESSIONALS AND
DO-IT-YOURSELF INSTALLERS:
When rigid vinyl siding is exposed to significant heat or flame, the
vinyl will soften, sag, melt or burn, and may thereby expose material
underneath. Care must be exercised prior to installation when
selecting underlayment materials because many underlayment
materials are made from organic materials. All building materials
should be installed in accordance with local, state, and Federal
building codes and fire regulations.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
While ABTCO vinyl siding remains virtually maintenance-free,
it will become dirty as any other product which is exposed to
atmospheric conditions. Normally, your ABTCO vinyl siding can be
cleaned satisfactorily through the use of an ordinary garden hose.
If stubborn stains cannot be removed with water, the following
procedure should be used:
1. Equip the garden hose with a soft-bristled, long handle car brush.
2. Where soil is of a stubborn nature, the following cleaning
solution works well:
- 1/3 cup household detergent
- 2/3 cup trisodium phosphate
- 1 gallon water
In certain geographic areas where mildew may be a problem,
substitute one quart of 5% sodium hypochloride (household
bleach) for one quart 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.
All questions concerning the meaning or applicability of this limited
warranty are to be decided under the law of the State of Oregon
without reference to its choice-of-law rules.
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights which vary from state to state.
