THE BEST FINISH IN THE INDUSTRY

FORMULATED FINISHDiamond 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.” -Jim Langendorf

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.

LOW MAINTENANCE

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.

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.

POWER OF PROBLEMS

A significant body of research has revealed that 47% homes in the U.S. do not have proper ventilation.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

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.

SOLUTION: PROPER VENTILATION

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.

TOP IT OFF RIGHT

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.
