Does GemThane™ Siding fade?
Paint-based siding systems will “fade away”; in other words, they will erode when exposed to the elements because the finish is simply latex paint. This will not happen with GemThane™ Siding because our polymer, Cottage Coat, is more than 10 times more abrasion-resistant than paint and is totally waterproof. In terms of colour and gloss retention, you can expect about the same result as you would get from an automotive finish under the same conditions. Visualize parking your car on the dock 24/7 and expect about the same longevity. The light periodic refresher coat that we require as part of the lifetime warranty will return a like-new appearance.
