An Overview of Warranties

Warranties form an important part of the purchase decision when selecting an exterior building material. They influence product and supplier perception and reinforce peace of mind for the building owner. For typical exterior metal applications such as metal roofing and siding projects, three distinct warranties can be offered, including finish warranties, roof or wall product performance warranties, and installer warranties that cover workmanship. The finish warranty is typically offered by the paint vendor, however sometimes these may be offered directly by the coater by or end-product manufacturer.
