Warranties

PAC-CLAD warranties

Warranty terms change, and the weather tightness warranty is set up project by project. Read the current terms on PAC-CLAD’s site before you bid.

Finish warranty

PAC-CLAD’s 70% PVDF finish carries a non-prorated warranty against fading, chalking and film failure within the limits PAC-CLAD sets. On steel and aluminum that’s 35 years, except Cardinal Red and Award Blue, which carry shorter coverage.

Weather tightness warranty

A project specific warranty on qualifying standing seam roofs. It calls for PAC-CLAD panels and flashings, PAC-CLAD HT underlayment or an approved equal, a PAC-CLAD approved installer, a project review before bid and inspections during the job.

Our flashing details guide walks through the details PAC-CLAD expects. Read PAC-CLAD’s warranty page.
