SUPERIOR ENGINEERING
A majority of siding in the market today requires
repainting over time due to chalking and fading. Our
finish is durable and with our 30-Year No Fade Warranty
your home will be protected for decades.
What makes our paint different?
We use the purest metal oxide colorants extracted
from rocks - these natural raw pigments don’t fade
over time.

FORMULATED FINISH
How do we get our paint to be so durable?
• Water is the carrier for the color pigments
• The water will dissipate once the material goes into our
state-of-the-art oven curing process
• Metal oxide pigments are fully encapsulated with the
resins, providing a secure bond to the substrate
• The pigment is protected against weather and exposure

JOBSITE HANDLING
Our siding and shakes are packaged in 4-packs, trim
in 2-packs and one piece corners are individually
wrapped. Our innovative packaging system reduces
the risk of scuffing and scratching during the
transportation and handling process.
“In my opinion Diamond Kote has the best finish
in the industry. I have seen the production process
first hand and also used the product. They have the
most advanced equipment, technology, and process
in finishing exterior products....I would highly
recommend this product.” - James, Contractor

science behind the finish
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY
Our equipment is specifically designed to integrate
with our proprietary finish to provide the highest
quality product backed by the best warranty in the
industry.
1) Our automated process begins by sanding and
cleaning the substrate to ensure proper adhesion
of the finish.
2) The rotating arm spray system provides consistent
paint coverage by breaking down the finish into
smaller particles allowing it to bond better for
flawless coverage.
3) Before being chilled for packaging, the product is
sent through the oven to create a durable scratch
resistant exterior siding product.

ASTM TEST D3359-09 - STRENGTH OF BOND

Note: ASTM D3359-09 Standard Test Methods for Measuring Adhesion by Tape Test
SCRATCH-RESISTANT FINISH
ASTM Test D3359-09 tests the strength of the
bond between the substrate and paint. The industry
standard states 20% or less paint is removed from
the substrate it passes the test.
At Diamond Kote, we believe in holding ourselves
to a higher standard. We surface prep each board
to ensure proper adhesion for a performance that
will last long term.

SHOWN UNDER 40X MAGNIFICATION

PAINT QUALITY MATTERS
Our pre-finish is engineered to be low maintenance
by reducing the build up of dirt and grime while
locking out moisture. Our products are more
scratch resistant than competitive products.
Other finishes are porous, resulting in a dull finish
that traps dirt and moisture which leads to premature
failure of product.
