March 11. 1977 PMJE 27 Say good-bye to paint, peeling and blistering? Clean and refreshingly different are the words being used to describe homes with newly install­ ed solid vinyl siding. And, ,* they stay clean and re­ freshing. No more rotting, peeling and blistering. Vinyl never needs paint or other surface coloring. The color on the outside runs throughout the ma­ terial. Vinyl is impervious to pollutants in the air, and unaffected by fungi and termites. It has proved its rugged durability over many years under conditions of severe corrosion and weather ex­ posure. Vinyl will not sup­ port fire nor will it conduct lightning or electricity. Insulates as well Solid Vinyl sidewall cov­ er combines acoustical and thermal insulation proper­ ties with the aesthetic appeal of natural wood. Vinyl has insulating prop­ erties to keep the cold out in the winter and the heat out in the summer. These same properties are help­ ful for reducing noise lev­ els also. Solid vinyl siding prod­ ucts and accessories are manufactured by Bird & Son, inc., East Walpole, • Mass. After years of re­ search and development, vinyl has emerged as one of the most attractive and durable building materials ever to come on the market. Looks like wood Solid vinyl has the look of painted wood, without the work. It requires little or no maintenance. Dirt and grime may be removed with a minimum of effort. A variety of styles and colors allows for different and complimentary archi­ tectural designs. The standard clapboard style with a smooth finish has been supplemented by the development of the BRANDED style. This new style accentu­ ates handsome woodgrain textures. Then there is the vertical style, particularly effective in highlighting areas such as doorways, porches and gable ends of homes. Designed to mix-or- match colors in both prod­ uct lines, the colors include the new Federal Blue and Autumn Gold, plus Sun­ shine Yellow, Lexington Green, Butternut Beige, REMODELING HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS A new booklet cram- packed with helpful re­ mode l ing h in t s fo r homeowners is avail­ able from the Alumi­ num Association.
