How many square feet (Sq. Ft.) of siding do you feel contains a defect under the terms of your warranty?To determine the surface square footage of affected siding installed on the structure, you should measure the overall length and height of the siding in question and record the results in the spaces provided on the diagrams below as appropriate. (For example, if the area of concern is 11 feet long and 5 feet high, then the total surface footage affected for that side is calculated as 11 x 5 = 55 surface square feet)

Front Side Total Affected Left Side Total Affected Back Side Total Affected Right Side Total Affected

Photograph Instructions

In order to evaluate your claim, a minimum of (10) photographs of the vinyl siding and installation are required. Take photographs of each entire side of the structure (as shown below), as well as, close ups of the affected vinyl siding and accessories/trim. Please feel free to include as many additional photographs as you wish to illustrate the condition.

IMPORTANT:

Please use a digital camera in .jpeg format. Photos should be e-mailed, saved onto a flash drive, or CD-R/RW (media will not be returned). Or if printed, done so on quality photographic paper a minimum of 3x5 in size. If not using a digital camera, use a 35-mm camera (or better). (Disposable cameras may be used-but must bedeveloped prior to submitting.) Take pictures of all the sides of your home. Stand close enough in photos showing the problem area for the problem area to "fill up” the view finder. For digital photos, include the view seen in the photo in the file name. For printed photos, on the reverse side of each photograph, please include your name, and identify the view. Use a felt tip pen. Indicate areas of concern on the photographs with a small arrow or asterisk (*).

A Date Code is located on the Nailing Hem of Mitten Vinyl Siding panels, or as a sticker on the reverse. This Date Code provides information that will identify date and time of manufacture. This information is required to process your claim.

Getting Access to your Mitten Vinyl Siding

Date Code

Removing a Siding PanelStarting at the end of a siding panel, hook the rolled edge of the Zip Tool onto the hook at the bottom of the siding panel as shown in diagram A. While applying pressure downward, slide the zip tool away from the end of the siding panel. This will "unzip” the siding panel from the lock of the panel below it and give you visibility of the Date Code. In some cases it may be necessary to unzip more than one panel to locate a Date Code. You may need to unfasten the siding from the wall to locate a date code sticker on the back of the panel, or when selecting a sample for claims evaluation. Always re-lock an unzipped siding panel before removing another.

Re-locking an Unzipped Siding PanelAfter you have recorded your Date Code you should re-lock that panel back into place. To re-lock a siding panel, place the rolled edge of the Zip Tool into bottom lock of the unzipped panel. Pull downward while sliding the Zip Tool back toward the unlocked end of the siding panel. It may be necessary to apply pressure to the face of the siding panel while re-locking.

You will have one of two types of date codes, in one of two locations as shown to the right. Some panels will have the inkjetted codes on the nail hem, earlier panels will have a sticker on the back (the requested information in all cases is outlined in red). After you have located the Date Code, please record the code on the consumer damage report in the requested section.
