Does the use of pins affect the warranties offered by suppliers of other materials?
Terms of warranties vary by manufacture, and may or may not be effected by substrate attachment or the type of fastener. For example, manufactures of EIFS wall systems, exclude the substrate attachment from the scope of their work, so the substrate attachment is usually not in their warranty. Manufactures of other materials such as Georgia Pacifics DensGlass, USGs Fiberock and James Hardies fiber cement siding do address fasteners in their warranty and do offer their standard warranties when ET&F pins are used. The supplier providing the warranty for the project should be contacted directly for terms of their warranty.
