Frequently Asked Questions about Vinyl Siding !
What causes vinyl siding to fade and oxidize?
Everything oxidizes and deteriorates naturally eventually because of uv radiation, acid rain and oxygen (hence the word oxidation) even the hard water here is SW Florida with its high mineral content are the primary causes of vinyl siding surface deterioration. The result is – vinyl siding with dull, chalky appearance. The surface is then subject to becoming brittle. The oxidation creates a rough surface that absorbs moisture, which makes it a perfect breeding ground for the growth of mold, mildew and fungus. Improper cleaning cleaning techniques (high pressure over 500 psi) can then cause pressure stripping.
Can I prevent my vinyl siding from fading and oxidizing?
No. . Nothing will stop your vinyl siding from deteriorating; you can only slow it down thru proper preventive maintenance. Some colors oxidize and fade quicker than others. The quality of the vinyl siding also plays a role. Vinyl siding manufactures recommend regular scheduled cleaning of your vinyl siding using low pressure with non-caustic or acidic cleaners and then applying a protective sealer. In most cases this requires a professional who is properly trained and is licensed as a painting contractor in addition to pressure washing. Like Rainbow.
