Factory Tour: Inside a Factory-Finished Siding Plant

For a 25-year warranty on your siding, don't hire a painter. Instead, hire a factory.

by John Ross

Length: 1:53
Produced By: John Ross

To learn more about the quality of factory-finished siding, Fine Homebuilding editor John Ross visited one such factory in Upstate New York.

The key inside the factory is evenness and consistency, and the target paint application is only 6 mil. thick.
