Several products have been used for vinyl siding restoration over the years. One popular product for awhile was Restora from the Flood Co. Unfortunately, it was removed from the market. One that has lasted for decades is Vivilon. Vivilon has been in the
business of restoring, refurbishing and rejuvenating dull,
oxidized, chalky, sun weathered, faded vinyl siding surfaces
to restore their original color tone since 1992. And, once
the surface is restored to like new color, Vivilon delivers unsurpassed protection to the vinyl
siding against UV sunlight fading, industrial fallout, acid
rain, mold mildew, algae, fungus, airborne pollution,
, bird droppings, and every day dirt
and grime. Because the surface is sealed off so grime can't
get a grip to cling to it, cleaning is simply a water hosing
down to make it look new again. And, it's no different with
Aluminum Siding Restoration.
With the introduction of our
water based
Envirolon
restorer and protector, Vinyl Siding Restoration is just a
simple cleaning and the spraying (or rolling) of the clear
restorer and protector onto the vinyl siding.
(NOTE: Because vinyl siding is
made from hard, brittle PVC, it must be "plasticized" to
produce a material that is somewhat flexible to work with.
These vinyl siding plasticizers come in different grades,
from inexpensive to moderately expensive and are included in
the PVC mix in various amounts. It is because the cheaper
plasticizers will react to the solvent in our
Vivilon Classic
and
Tough Enough
products, that we recommend our water borne ENVIROLON
product to restore and renew vinyl siding, shutters and
fencing. Since we don't know whether an expensive durable
plasticizer or a cheap soluble plasticizer was used in your
vinyl siding, we want you to have a 'no-brainer" solution
that will work perfectly EVERY time on ANY vinyl siding
product.
The vinyl siding, despite what
the vinyl siding companies want you to think, is NOT
maintenance free. You can't just put vinyl siding on your
house and forget it. Consider this disclaimer put out by
CertainTeed, a leading manufacturer of vinyl siding
products.
"
vinyl siding is not warranted against discoloration or other
damage caused by air pollution (including but not limited to
metallic oxides or metallic particles), mold, mildew,
exposure to harmful chemicals or normal weathering resulting
from exposure to the elements. Normal weathering is defined
as exposure to sunlight and extremes of weather and
atmosphere which will cause any colored surface to gradually
fade, chalk, or accumulate dirt or stains. The severity of
any condition depends on the geographical location of the
building, the cleanliness of the air in the area, and many
other influences over which CertainTeed has no control.
"
So, a leading vinyl siding
manufacturer is telling you that when it comes to your vinyl
siding fading, chalking or discoloring, restoring the color
to the original color you chose is a problem between your
vinyl siding and you. Envirolon is your faded, discolored
vinyl siding restoration solution, as well as your vinyl
shutter and fencing solution. Envirolon is simple, safe,
easy to apply to vinyl siding, shutters or fences and most
importantly, Envirolon has LONG lasting durability. With
just a water hosing down (or the use of a pressure washer or
pressure washing cleaning contractors service twice a year),
your vinyl siding will have a clean and beautiful long
lasting satin finish. And, the vinyl siding will have color
that's true to the original color and looks just as good as
it did when the vinyl siding was first installed. Mold,
mildew or algae won't grow on the vinyl siding and if you
get rust stains, they are easily washed off the siding. With
this minimal maintenance, the finish on the vinyl siding
should last 10-12 years in any climate or environment
without cracking, peeling or discoloring.
There is almost 60 BILLION
square feet of vinyl siding installed on houses across
America. With another 5 Billion feet installed each year.
There have been over 100 million vinyl shutters installed
and several Billion square feet of vinyl fencing. If you
have any one or all three of these vinyl products, you need
Envirolon to solve their appearance maintenance problem.
