For example, Alcoa alumi­ num siding is made from an extra-strong alloy called Super 40 which provides added strength and rigidity to the met­ al, making it easier for your con­ tractor to apply, and better look­ ing on your home. New coating systems available Another example of an im­ proved process is the coating used on aluminum siding prod­ ucts to provide resistance to chalking, corrosion, mildew ac­ cumulation and dirt pick-up. Alcoa's process, called Alu- malure 2000*, includes a corrosion-inhibiting prime coat, followed by a second coat for weatherability. This new coat­ ing system allows Alcoa to offer a 40-year limited warranty on its siding products. Wide range of products In addition to aluminum sid­ ing, today's homeowner can choose from a wide range of vinyl siding products. Made of impact-modified polyvinyl chloride (PVC), vinyl siding re­ sists cracking, breaking, dent­ ing, splitting, flaking, chipping and blistering. Because of its PVC formula­ tion, vinyl siding is impervious to moisture and is unaffected by most acids and immune to attack by insects and pests. Alcoa's Super-V Vinyl Siding* is backed by a 40-year limited warranty. But, there's more to siding .products than just practicability. There's color and lots of it. The trend, in recent years, has been toward darker, "earthy" shades, to keep pace with the "color explosion" going on around us. Alcoa's line inludes Primrose Yellow, Colonial Blue, Fern Green. Sandtone, Sierra Tan. Villager Red, Mus­ ket Brown. Desert Gold, Wil-, low Green and, of course. White Wide selection of surfaces, sizes Hand-in-hand with this color shift is the rising prefer­ ence of homeowners for sid­ ings with woodlike surface tex­ tures. An example of the numerous woodlike surfaces available are Alcoa's Country Oak, Random Oak and Western Oak textures. Country Oak reflects the warmth and beauty of mill- finish lumber while Western Oak provides the look of real wood with a roughcut touch. Random Oak features a deep- grained surface. And the choices go on Homeowners can also choose from a wide range of siding widths. For example, double 4-inch horizontal siding offers a full eight-inch exposure and ap­ pears as two individual four- inch panels. The style is best on homes of colonial design Double 5-inch offers 10- inch exposure and is recommended for Colonial and Cape Cod de­ signs. There are also vertical siding panels as well as a choice . of polystyrene-backed siding featuring a 7/16-inch thick back­ ing with reflective foil for added rigidity.
