Warranty
TAMLYN warrants defective-free products for a period of 10 years for the original purchaser. TAMLYN products are further warranted as to adequacy of design, provided products are properly specified and installed. This warranty does not apply in the event products are altered in any way or are improperly installed. Liability is limited to replacement of products proven to be defective. TAMLYN has made no other warranty, express or implied, regarding its products, including but not limited to, any warranty regarding merchantability or fitness for a specific purpose. Any claim that a product is defective must be brought within 1 month of the date of installation of such products to the original purchaser. Customer hereby agrees that no other incidental or consequential damages are the responsibility of TAMLYN
Responsibility remains with the architect or engineer, contractor and owner for the design, application and proper installation of each Tamlyn product. Specifier and user shall determine the suitability of products for specific application and assume all responsibilities in connection there within.
The PVC TAMLYN buys is an industry-standard, rigid, durable, chemically resistant product designed for outdoor weatherability. While the PVC is paintable, we cannot know what may be added to paints, primers etc. that could affect the PVC. Installers must consult with the paint manufacturer's technical department for their specific recommendations on priming and painting PVC. Where parts are designed to work together, TAMLYN vinyl products are not warranted if installed in conjunction with other non-Tamlyn vinyl products.
TAMLYN PVC Trim may be painted to achieve a custom color. Use a light color, 100% acrylic latex paint with a light reflective value (LRV) of 55 or higher (Flat Black=0, pure white=100). Painting PVC trim with dark colors may cause the product to warp. TAMLYN does not recommend painting our PVC products with dark colors unless a good quality heat reflective paint is used such as Sherwin-Williams Vinyl Safe™, and that it is applied according to the paint manufacturer’s recommended application instructions.
If a dark color (LRV value of 50 or lower/darker) paint is used, excess solar heat may be absorbed, subjecting the PVC to warping and distrotion due to extremes of thermal expansion and contraction. This reaction is even more evident when these parts are exposed to direct sunlight in hot climates. Paint adhesion loss, blistering and peeling may also result.
Failure to use heat reflective dark color paints on TAMLYN PVC products will void TAMLYN’s warranty and TAMLYN will not be responsible for repair or replacement of any resulting damage due to distortion, warping, buckling, shrinkage, paint blistering, or peeling of paint on the PVC products, or repair or replacement of related siding, soffit, or trim products.
Follow the paint manufacturer’s recommendations to apply. Make sure TAMLYN PVC Trim is clean and dry before painting.
Please follow siding manufacturers best practice application when installing any Tamlyn accessory. Xtreme Trim™ profiles do not form a moisture management system, the architect and builder are responsible for designing and installing a code compliant building envelope
*Note re flammability: PVC products will not support or spread flames. They are self-extinguishing as soon as the flame source is removed
