THE BEST FINISH IN THE INDUSTRY

Graphite & White

FORMULATED FINISH Diamond Kote® pre-finish is an advanced paint technology, using metal oxide colorants extracted from rocks. These natural pigments don't fade over time, keeping your siding vibrant and protected from destructive ultraviolet sun rays, which causes other paints to fade quickly.

“DIAMOND KOTE IS THE BEST SIDING PRODUCT I HAVE WORKED WITH.” 8

-Jim Langendorf Langendorf Construction LLC

SHOWN UNDER 40X MAGNIFICATION Diamond Kote® VS Other Finishes

QUALITY PAINT MATTERS Under 40x magnification, there are significant differences between the Diamond Kote® pre-finish and other finishes. Other finishes are porous, resulting in a dull finish that traps dirt and moisture and can lead to premature failure.

LOW MAINTENANCE Diamond Kote® pre-finish is designed to be low maintenance, resisting the build up of dirt and grime while locking out moisture. Being easy to clean, combined with a durable finish reduces overall maintenance.

WE INVEST IN OUR TECHNOLOGY

Clove Siding & White Trim

SUPERIOR MANUFACTURING Our fully automated process with robotic sprayers, advanced finish and a clean indoor environment creates a quality scratch resistant product that cannot be duplicated on site or with flood coating applications.

“DIAMOND KOTE IS TRULY THE SUPERIOR FINISHED SIDING PRODUCT ON THE MARKET.” -Thompson Construction LLC 10

Diamond Kote® VS Other Finishes ASTM TEST D3359-09 - STRENGTH OF BOND

ENHANCED DURABILITY ASTM Test D3359-09 tests the bond strength between the substrate and paint. The industry standard states if 20% or less paint is removed from the substrate it passes the test. Diamond Kote® exceeds beyond the standard. Note: ASTM D3359-09 Standard Test Methods is for Measuring Adhesion by Tape Test

LONG TERM PERFORMANCE We design and test all of our products for maximum protection against the elements. Enjoy a durable scratch-resistant finish that withstands the test of time with no peeling, chalking or fading.

BUILT TO PROTECT Using the same technology as RigidStack™ siding and built on the same durable substrate for a low maintenance design that lasts longer than real cedar shingles.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DESIGN It’s important to think about the style, architecture, and time period of your home. Cape Cod and Colonial style homes use a straight edge shake, while a Craftsman style home would typically use a staggered edge shake. 38

Note: RigidShake™ is exclusively available in straight and staggered edge shakes.

Cinnabar & White Trim

BOARD AND BATTEN Emphasize the vertical areas on the exterior to create a rustic farmhouse inspired home. Varying the width of the trim with different sizes or spacing can create a variety of styling options.

GROOVED PANELING This vertical siding style adds interest giving it a taller appearance to the home, drawing the eye upward. Choose from two different widths to customize the look to your home.

SOFFIT + FASCIA

Coffee & White Trim

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT A significant body of research has revealed that 47% homes in the U.S. do not have proper ventilation. Lawrence Berkley Laboratory

Cinnabar & White Trim

POWER OF PROBLEMS Poorly ventilated homes contribute to higher energy costs and moisture problems. Moisture build up could lead to mold or mildew, which may lead to respiratory issues.

SOLUTION: PROPER VENTILATION Our solution is to provide a product with a high (net free air) rating of 10 NFA to work with your roofing vent system. Commonly used vinyl and cement systems only average 5-7 NFA which may not meet roof warranty standards. 44

White Trim

Custom Color Tan & Biscuit

TOP IT OFF RIGHT Create a dramatic effect by finishing your overhangs, porch, and ceilings with the same woodgrain look. Be the talk of the block with a soffit that is as distinctive as the siding.

STRONGER & THICKER PRODUCT Thin metal fascias are easily damaged by hail and storm debris or could blow off in the wind. Just like our siding, our fascia resists impact and can hold up against the damaging effects of mother nature. Choose a whole siding system with matching woodgrain for a high end feel. 45

RIGIDMOUNT

BEAUTY IS IN THE DETAILS RigidMount™ offers a full line of mount blocks to keep your home beautiful! These details will blend in with the overall look of your home.

KEEP WATER OUT Pipes and utilities penetrate the home for everyday functions - water should not. RigidMount™ includes built-in water management and nail fin for a flawless look.

STARTER BOARD

PERFECT TRANSITION Providing the perfect transition between the ground and first course of siding to maintain installation requirements.

French Gray and White Trim

Grizzly

PLAN FOR PROTECTION Don’t dig up your prized landscaping after all your hard work. Using starter board helps protect the bottom of your siding from moisture. New homes can benefit as well, so any future landscaping plans don’t impose on your siding.

BEAUTY FROM THE GROUND UP Call out the frame of your home by making your starter board the same color as your trim. Otherwise, for a more subtle transition match the starter to your siding.

STYLE YOUR WAY Each home is unique - just like each family. Show your style by adding decorative elements to the outside of your home for a distinctive and personalized touch.
