all vinyl siding created equal?
Do you think all vinyl siding is equal? I have used Mastic
brand in the past, seems to have held up fine. Now there seems to be more manufactures then ever. Any opinions on this Royal building product brand, in particular? Thanks TP http://www.royalbuildingproducts.com/html/main.html |

But it is
GAUGE: NOMINAL THICKNESS .042" WIND TESTED TO 160 MPH: GAUGE: NOMINAL THICKNESS .046" WIND TESTED TO 240 MPH: The Windlok 240 feature has been tested to hold secure in winds of up to 240 mph with no wind flap, shifting or tearaway. It's a sure way to get a grip on bad weather. Michael Baugh wrote: Interesting how it isn't listed by thickness like polyethylene plastic. TP wrote in message .. .
