“Autumn Red” siding by Alside Questions

| Posted in General Discussion on
Does anyone have any experience with Alside’s Charter Oaks, Architectural Collection. . .specifically the “Autumn Red” color? Has it been around long enough to offer any opinions on its UV/fade resistance? Any comments would be very much appreciated.
Thank you – Gretchen in Massachusetts

I don't trust any new colors. You may remember an alcoa product a few years back with a simulated wood grain. It didn't last long.
These retro colors that are coming out, while tasteful, are suspect.
As I understand it, the uv treatment is used sparingly and being light in color (titanium dioxide?) is hard to mix with darker colors.
I would trust alsides warranty regarding fade resistance, but historically if there is a problem, they may not pay enough to cover the hassles involved.
