Q. How do I clean my siding?
A. A yearly cleaning with a garden hose is sufficient. If mold and mildew is a problem in your geographical area, a mixture of two parts water and one part bleach sprayed onto the siding should eliminate it.
 
Q. Do you offer a warranty on your panels?
A. Yes, we offer a 15-year limited warranty. Click here to read it.
   
Q. What is the product made of and how is it manufactured?
A. Nailon products are made of durable, high quality Polypropylene. We utilize an injection molding process to create Nailon Panels.
 
Q. Can Nailon Panels be used as roofing?
A. Nailon Panels can only be used on roofs with a slope of 45/12 or greater, typically mansard style roofs. Nailon Panels are not intended for horizontal use and should not be used under such circumstances.
 
Q. What type of nail do I use to install Nailon Panels?
A. The most commonly used nails are galvanized roofing nails or aluminum nails. Any type of non-corrosive nails or screws are acceptable so long as the head is larger than the panel's nailing hole. The size of your nail will vary job to job depending on the thickness of your materials. Your nail must penetrate a solid substrate by at least 1/2". It is recommended that the substrate itself be no less than 7/16" thick.
 
Q. How do you cut the panels?
A. We recommend a circular saw with the blade in the reversed position.
 
Q. Can the siding be applied directly to studs?
A. Stud locations vary. A better solution is to build a horizontal furring strip framework and nail the panels directly to the furring strips or solid substrate.
 
Q. Can the panels be painted?
A. Nailon Panels are paintable. We recommend a high quality, acrylic latex paint. Spraying is preferred to brush painting.
 
Q. How do I finish off my last tier of siding?
A. The final tier can be face nailed in between the seams to keep the nail heads inconspicuous. Nailon's J-Channel provides a clean, finished look.
 
Q. How do I treat inside corners?
A. J-channel, or aluminum coil are recommended.
 
Q. How thick are the panels?
A. Nailon Panels are approximately .090" (90 thousands of an inch) thick.
 
Q. What is the expansion and contraction rate?
A. Nailon can expand or contract as much as 1/8" per panel. Each panel has built in expansion joints to help compensate for movement. DO NOT attempt to override these expansion joints during installation. If the panels are being installed in cooler weather (under 60ยบ), allow a little extra room for expansion.
 
Q. How much waste should I calculate for my project?
A. 5% waste is standard for long runs and walls with little cuts. Factor 10%-15% for mansards, gables and other areas requiring an extreme amount of cuts.
   
Q. Are the samples rebatable?
A. Yes, the samples are fully rebatable. Only one coupon per order may be used.
   
Q. How do I cash in my sample order rebate?
A. We will include a coupon for you to use on your next online order.

The coupon will have a code for you to use for your next order in your shopping cart.

In order for you to use coupon, your order subtotal must be greater than coupon amount.

   
Q. Can I use your faux stone panels as a skirting around my house?
A. Yes, Our faux panels™ install fast and are durable.
