| Painting
vinyl siding might resolve its aesthetic appearance but does
not solve the underlying problem. Without the proper removal
of oxidation, painting alone becomes subject to delamination
(separation) and deterioration from UV radiation and acid rain.
Over time, the painted vinyl siding surface will become oxidized
again. UV radiation and acid rain are the primary causes of
vinyl siding surface deterioration. This deterioration results
in siding with a dull, chalky appearance. The surface is then
subject to becoming brittle. The oxidation creates a rough surface
that absorbs moisture, making it a perfect breeding ground for
the growth of mold, mildew and fungus. |

ReNu! Vinyl ReNu is a clear antimicrobial polymer that
is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and is approved by the State of California. Vinyl ReNu is
applied to fading vinyl siding to restore and protect the
vinyl surface. When applied Vinyl ReNu provides a clear protective
shield that will not fade or oxidize. Vinyl ReNu's antimicrobial
formula also prevents the growth of mold, mildew and fungus.
Once the surface is properly prepared and Vinyl ReNu applied,
the protective shield carries an unconditional ten-year
warranty. Any scratch markets that occur can be easily restored
by reapplying Vinyl ReNu to the damaged area. In addition,
the entire vinyl surface can be easily cleaned by simply using
a garden hose.

ReNu, which is a product of Dur-A-Shield, is like other Dur-A-Shield
products in that it is not affected by UV radiation, acid
rain, salts or chemicals. Plus, it will contract and expand
with prevailing weather conditions. The Federal Aviation Administration
uses Dur-A-Shield on radar tracking stations situated atop
mountains where inclement weather is a continuous problem.
