How do I extend the life of my channel siding?

With the right maintenance and treatment, you can prolong your siding’s life. Here’s how:

• Inspect your siding every year.
• Use an oil-based primer on the back of your siding. If moisture starts to build up behind the siding, the primer will keep the siding from warping.
• Leave a one-inch gap between the siding and roofing materials. This allows for expanding and contracting during temperature changes.
• Follow the nailing instructions exactly during the installation. Be sure to use the correct type of nails for your siding.
