Anybody have any experience with Nylo Board? I do a lot of work for one Assoc. of 40 high end units that are looking into materials to replace the Cedar T & G fascia sidings. One being considered is the Nylo Board in a special run and design imprint. You must understand that the fascias on these units amount to between 5K & 7K sq. ft. They are decorative box shaped structures all over the rim of the flat roofs. Anyway, NB has a 30 year warranty, but no one has used this newer product for very long. The engineering firm involved is ok with the Nylo board as long as they are not held for it’s failure, so they are in essence saying ‘use it if you want, the structure will support it, but we do not recommend the product.’ Cedar is at the top of the list again, but the cost will be more than 200K for each unit. Any thoughts or experience would be of help.

Having been around boats a lot, there can be nothing worst than neglected fiberglass.
Have you handled the product?

Nope, the company's rep came over and brought a sample of the special run that would be created for our project. They will make it in 18' panels to our 28' width and imprint with the current 3" wide board pattern. One of the companies bidding on the project has said that they would cut the ends of the panels along the staggered imprint lines rather than make it a rectangular end to end pattern. Azek came over and declined to sell us the materials due to the dark brown color we would paint them and the heat over here. They said their product would expand and contract too much over the long runs, some up to 60'. Nylo Board says not a problem with their product. Azek has since created a Thermal Brown colored paint for hot climates. I liked their honesty, but the B.O.D. did not like the look of their samples. I liked the Nylo Board, but their is no track record to go on.Never fear the want of business. A man who qualifies himself well for his calling, never fails of employment.
