Vinyl Siding Melting Damage
Vinyl siding melting in extreme
temperatures is not that uncommon. Watching this video on vinyl siding
damage can open your eyes to the problems with building products, not
just vinyl siding. Some of these building products can be damage from
hot and cold temperatures and excessive moisture.
The video mentions the siding damage from reflective windows in your
neighborhood. Your neighbors windows can act like a magnifying glass on
your siding. The heat reflecting off of these windows can concentrate
large amounts of heat, on certain areas of your home, eventually causing
the vinyl siding to warp.
Whether your home building products are guaranteed for one year or 100
years, doesn't mean that the building product will last that long.
Building material companies to go out of business and suffer through
class-action lawsuits. Keep this in mind, the next time you look at a
building product with any guarantee on it.
Outdoor Home Tip: do not barbecue within 5 feet of the vinyl siding. The
heat from the barbecue can cause damage to your home siding. You should
always have your barbecue located at least 5 feet away from any
building.
Make sure your barbecue is not located underneath a roof over hang,
patio or porch.
