For your protection
Novik inc. siding is a very low maintenance product but is made of polypropylene. Common sense should be used to keep siding from melting or burning. It is important that all sources of heat and flames and combustible materials like dry leaves, trash, etc., be kept away from Novik siding.
If the original homeowner or transferee is shown to have neglected to provide proper maintenance to the siding, this warranty will be null and void.
