Cement Coat 25 Year

Excellent results can be obtained by the factory application of coatings to fiber-cement siding and trim. Building materials that are factory finished on all sides receive the highest level of moisture protection and stability available today. Factory finishing assures a longer lasting and higher quality job than the traditional “on-site” applications because proper spread rates are maintained for maximum coverage. Failure to read and follow Cabot’s Technical Data Sheet and installation instructions will void the warranty.

Samuel Cabot Incorporated hereby warrants that, for a period of 25 years, when two coats (15 years when one coat) of C3 Cabot CEMENT COAT is applied per label directions, under a factory-controlled setting of a Cabot Authorized Factory Finisher to clean, dry (15% moisture content or less) pre-primed fiber-cement materials, and each application is at least six (6) mils wet (2 mils dry), this product:

• NOT chalk as to discolor surfaces below
• NOT yellow with age
• NOT erode and expose the substrate
• NOT become damaged when dirt is rinsed-off
• NOT crack, peel or blister
• NOT allow efflorescence discoloration
  (when all sides of board are coated).

Upon installation, exposed butt ends of the lumber must be coated or a field-applied coat of The Finish with Teflon® Surface Protector by Cabot must be applied. If within the warranty period, measured from the date of installation, and upon notification and validation of the complaint by Samuel Cabot Inc., Samuel Cabot Inc. confirms this product has failed in any of the above ways due to normal exposure, Samuel Cabot Inc. will, at its option, either fully compensate the homeowner for the paint required to repair the siding involved, supply such materials to the homeowner, or refund the purchase price of the paint products found to be defective. Only those affected areas validated by Samuel Cabot Inc. will be covered. This non-prorated warranty is for material only, and does not include labor or cost of labor for the application of the product or installation of the siding. Any costs and expenses beyond Samuel Cabot Inc.’s above-stated liability shall be the responsibility of the owner(s).

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: C3 Cabot Cement Coat warranty (hereafter referred to as “Warranty”) contained herein is in effect for 25 years when two coats (15 years when one coat) are applied over factory-primed fiber cement products (7 years, one coat; 17 years, two coats when applied over un-primed fiber cement products) from date of siding installation and is subject to the terms and conditions, exclusions and limitations, requirements and legal rights stated in this document. This Warranty remains in effect for the owner(s) of the property to which the siding was originally applied. This Warranty is transferable by the original property owner to a first transferee. In the event of a Warranty claim, the Warranty period shall be not longer than 25 years from the date of the original siding installation.

Samuel Cabot Inc.’s (hereafter referred to as the “Warrantor”) obligations under this Warranty shall in no event exceed the purchase price of the original C3 Cabot Cement Coat product. Any product found to be unsatisfactory, prior to installation, for any reason, must not be installed and should be returned to the dealer where it was purchased for replacement product. The Warrantor will not be responsible in any way for labor or material if defective or unacceptable product is installed. The Warrantor shall not be liable for any consequential or special damages, or for other expenses such as accessories (building paper, sheathing, fasteners, caulking, etc.), which may arise in connection with this Warranty. This Warranty does not cover cracking, peeling and blistering which may result due to inadequate ventilation or improper construction techniques, and specifically excludes cracking, peeling, blistering and efflorescence caused by defective primer or inadequate primer application as supplied/applied by siding manufacturer. This Warranty does not apply to damage or failure caused by excessive warping, cupping, splitting, checking, and shrinkage of the siding material (as defined by industry standards); breakdown of the underlying substrate; falling objects, faulty or improper storage and installation; (as defined by industry standards); lack of proper maintenance; accidental damage; structural defects; fire, lightning, hurricane, tornado, windstorm, earthquake, hail, or other acts of God; harmful chemicals (including harmful cleaning compounds); surface deterioration due to air pollution, misuse, abuse, vandalism, mildew accumulation, scratching, abrading, or misuse/abuse of the factory-finished product after application. Depending upon exposure or wear, evaluate recoating needs every 8-10 years.

Extend your original Warranty of 15 years by refinishing with two (2) coats of The Finish with Teflon® Surface Protector by Cabot before the end of the original Warranty period.

MILDEW AND COLOR APPEARANCE ARE NOT MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY. DEPENDING ON COLOR, ADDITIONAL COAT(S) MAY BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AESTHETICALLY DESIRABLE RESULTS
