Keeping a fresh coat of paint on a home not only keeps it looking good but is critical to protect its exterior. Regular paint does not adequately protect surfaces; it weathers quickly and surfaces can become damaged. Homeowners do not paint often enough due to the hassle and its high cost. They typically will wait until the home looks shabby before repainting. Unfortunately weathering may have damaged the siding that can be expensive to fix. 10 to 15 times thicker than conventional paint, Liquid Vinyl Siding™ provides a higher level of protection for your home. It's a maintenance free coating that resists weathering and can keep a home looking great for decades.
This advanced vinyl coating offers many of the benefits associated with traditional vinyl siding at half the cost of new siding. Vinyl siding hides the old siding but may cause serious problems. It is attached with hundreds of nails that puncture the boards underneath. Old siding boards underneath the vinyl panels can crack and the nails create a direct path for moisture to penetrate the boards. Nails holding the vinyl siding may back out causing panels to become loose or fall off. Moisture that accumulates behind the vinyl panels can cause wood to rot and allow mold to form. The damp, dark condition attracts insects and creates an ideal breeding ground. Damage is usually not detected until it is extensive, and typically expensive to repair. Unlike vinyl siding, Liquid Vinyl clads directly onto the surface without leaving seams or a dead air space that is the cause of many problems. It repels moisture and allows the siding to breathe.
Energy loss is reduced by sealing air leaks and eliminating drafts. Liquid Vinyl can bridge a gap up to 1/8th of an inch. This ultra thick coating is better at sealing cracks and making a home more energy efficient. Titanium dioxide crystals are formulated into the coating to reflect heat causing rays from the sun and help keep the siding cooler during the heat of the day.
Mildew just doesn't like growing on Liquid Vinyl. Components in the coating resist mold and mildew growth. Although no coating can be 100% mildew-proof, many people who had mildew problems before applying Liquid Vinyl have told us that it never came back.
This coating requires very little attention and is easy to maintain. Its smooth to the touch finish has an anti‑static nature that resists dirt from building up on the surface. It stays noticably cleaner than paint> Normally it only needs an occasional cleaning with an ordinary garden hose to return the home to a 'freshly painted' appearance. The vinyl coating can be pressure cleaned if a more vigorous cleaning if desired. It's significantly less costly to maintain a home's exterior after it is coated with Liquid Vinyl Siding™
With regular vinyl siding you are limited to a handful of ordinary colors, but that's not the case with Liquid Vinyl Siding™. Now you can get the benefit of vinyl siding with an unlimited color selection. Your dealer can show you over 1,000 colors to choose from or a color can be custom matched to a small sample.

No phthalates or BPA (bisphenol‑A) plasticizers are used in the manufacture of Liquid Vinyl Siding™. This coating is a green product that is water base and environmentally safe. Our coatings have a low content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and comply with environmental regulations including rules established by the California Air Resource Board (CARB). A little known fact is that more than half of the composition of vinyl is derived from common salt making it one of the more energy efficient materials to produce. Life-cycle analysis (LCA) shows that two of the most important environmental features of a product are durability and renew ability. Liquid Vinyl is both. Renewable materials are green by nature. Liquid Vinyl Siding™ lasts many years longer than traditional paint and biodegrades when in contact with microorganisms in soil. Less resources are consumed in its manufacture than regular paint and Liquid Vinyl requires less maintenance and upkeep.
