Warranty

20-Year Limited Warranty

Light Trim Siding Solutions offers a 20-Year Limited Warranty on its trims (mouldings). This limited warranty applies to the original retail purchaser and is non-transferable.

Light Trim Siding Solutions certifies its extruded aluminium trims are exempt of manufacturing defect due to labour or materials (cracks, tears, blisters, peeling and rust).

Light Trim Siding Solutions offers coverage on fading and colour variation* (Delta-E Hunter colour scale) for the first 10 years of the warranty. See below calculation details for the Delta-E Hunter standards*.

Light Trim Siding Solutions warrants trims for a period of 4 years after the original date of purchase against defects due to severe chalking, which may produce chalk residue on siding.

INSTALLATION

Light Trim Siding Solutions warranty is conditional on compliance with proper installation, as mentioned in the siding manufacturers’ installation guides. Trims (mouldings) do not serve as support. They serve as finishing products.

NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY

  • Damage to aluminum due to improper installation, use or servicing.
  • Damage caused by handling, transport, storage or improper cleaning.
  • Damage caused by contact with chemicals.
  • Air pollutants or accumulated mold.
  • Damage caused by work, shrinkage or deformation of the structure.
  • Installation or labour costs.

LIMITATION OF WARRANTY

The responsibility of Light Trim Siding Solutions, without exception, is limited to product replacement.

During warranty coverage, trims with cracks, tears, blisters, peeling and rust will be replaced at 100% of the purchased price during the first 10 years of the warranty. From the eleventh to the twentieth year, a depreciation of 10% per year is deducted from the suggested retail price of the trims. This warranty is valid in Canada only.
