In rare incidents, intense sunlight reflected from glass on vinyl siding may create heat buildup and cause the siding to distort. To help minimize the effects of heat buildup from reflected sun, the homeowner may take one or more of the following measures: • Install a screen in the window causing the problem • Install an awning over the window to break the line of light reflection • Use shrubbery to protect the area of siding from reflections Building codes and regulations vary throughout the country. Be sure to check with your local code official or governing body for the building requirements in your area. Important Fire Safety Information: Exterior vinyl building materials require little maintenance for many years. Nevertheless, common sense dictates that builders and suppliers of vinyl products store, handle and install vinyl materials in a manner that avoids damage to the product and/or the structure. Owners and installers should take a few simple steps to protect vinyl building materials from fire: • To Home and Building Owners: Rigid vinyl siding is made from organic materials and will melt or burn when exposed to a significant source of flame or heat. Building owners, occupants and outside maintenance personnel should always take normal precautions to keep sources of fire, such as barbecues, and combustible materials, such as dry leaves, mulch and trash, away from vinyl siding. • To the Building Trades, Specifiers, Professionals and Do-It Yourself Installers: When rigid vinyl siding is exposed to significant heat or flame, the vinyl will soften, sag, melt or burn, and may thereby expose material underneath. Care must be exercised when selecting underlayment materials because many underlayment materials are made from organic materials that are combustible. You should ascertain the fire properties of underlayment materials prior to installation. All building materials should be installed in accordance with local, state and federal building codes and fire regulations. This manual shows the basic guidelines for installation. It is based on ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D4756, the standard practice for installation of vinyl siding and soffit. Additionally, we recommend that local building codes be reviewed.
