I m planning on residing my home with vinyl siding. The contractor I am considering (Bennet, in Albany, NY) uses Certainteed. Some other contractors have indicated that their vinyl siding comes with a lifetime guarantee against fading (i.e., no more than three Hunter Units). What type of fading guarantee does Certainteed offer?

Thank you for your attention.

Here is certainteed's resource area for warranties [ http://www.certainteed.com/res.....warranties ].

"CertainTeed warrants its vinyl siding products against excess fade beyond normal weathering if
reported to CertainTeed in accordance with the notice provision (see What the Property Owner
Must Do section, below). Excess fade is defined by a change in color, as calculated according to
ASTM D2244, greater than four (4) Hunter units." quoted from http://www.certainteed.com/res…..es/215.pdf

Great question!
