SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE IS - FRIDAY, MARCH 10. 1978 Shop for attractive, low maintenance siding The two most important considerations in choosing a new siding for your home are appearance and durability. Nothing satisfies pride of home ownership as much as siding with good, clean color which stays that way year after year with little or no maintenance. In addition, siding which needs very little painting or repair because of its inherent structure and durability produces not only satisfaction, but considera­ ble savings in cost over the years. Typical of these modern siding materials is GAF Stratalite thatch siding, ex­ tremely popular with home­ owners throughout the coun­ try because it looks like wood but is actually a stone­ like laminate without any of the defects of wood, metal, or other siding materials. In Stratalite siding, a com­ bination of ingredients, largely mineral in nature, is formed under tremendous pressure to provide a lami­ nated material of great strength and durability. Be­ IT LOOKS LIKE WOOD, but it's actually GAF Strata* lite thatch siding, a laminate largely mineral in nature which provides great strength and durability as well as the attractive appearance of traditional wood shake shingles. , cause it is pre-cured, it resists warping, buckling, and loss of shape, a defect of many other siding materials after long exposure to the ele­ ments. Because of its mineral nature, it cannot burn, shrink, or rot and is not de­ stroyed by termites and ver­ min. In appearance, Stratalite siding looks like wood. It has the woodgrain texture and ir­ regular shadowline of tradi­ tional wood shake siding shingles. And, best of all as far as cost of application is concerned, it can be worked and handled just as easily as wood. N i n e d i s t i n c t i v e colors--Green, Spun Gold, Gray, Harvest Red, Cedar, Storm Gray, Alaska White, Cactus Green, and Chestnut Brown--provide a palette of color to suit any architectural taste and blend harmoniously with roof shingle color and the surrounding environ­ ment. Because the factory- applied colors are perma­ nently sealed into the baked acrylic surface, periodic painting is practically elimi­ nated. The coloring is actu­ ally sealed into the polymer finish and, unlike ordinary paint, resists the destructive effect of winds, snow, rain, and hail. Nor will it blister or peel in time as ordinary paint does. Because it is non-metallic, it will not corrode, or buckle, and cannot echo the sounds of rain or hail to create a drumbeat effect. Nor can it interfere with radio or TV re­ ception, or require ground­ ing, as it does not conduct electricity. Stratalite siding is availa­ ble in a 2-foot panel with ex­ posure of 13%" or a 4-foot panel with exposure of 10%". Nail holes are pre-punched for easy application, making it an ideal siding for the dedi­ cated do-it-yourselfer. GAF's Kick Strip under- coursing, when used with Stratalite, produces a deep s h a d o w l i n e t o f u r t h e r enhance the beauty of the material. This unique combination of benefits--colorful ap­ pearance, durability, ease of application, and moderate cost--continues to make Stratalite thatch siding popu­ lar in all parts of the country with builders and home­ owners alike.
