This ensures that Mastic productswill hold up in the most extreme environmental conditions.RIGIDITY Panels are designed and engineeredto be more rigid so the siding remains straighton the wall.COLOR READ TEST Using a spherical spectophotometer, a10,000 watt xenon flash tube bounces light off a siding panel.This information is then analyzed to determine if the colorfalls within accepted ranges for color consistency and match.VERTICAL HEIGHT IMPACT TEST Measuresthe product’s durability and ability toresist impact forces — the result of properthickness, formulation and impact modifiers.GLOSS TEST A digital readout microgloss meter is used toscan siding to determine if its gloss falls within a target range.Gloss is important to the aesthetic appeal of the siding.Liberty Elite Double 5" in Harbor Grey
