The Wait is Over: Black Vinyl Siding Has Finally Arrived!

It is truly impressive to see how far exterior technology has come. For a long time, "Black Vinyl" was essentially the "forbidden fruit" of the siding industry—everyone wanted the look, but the physics of heat absorption made it a nightmare for durability.

By overcoming the traditional coefficient of thermal expansion issues that typically cause dark vinyl to warp, Mitten has effectively disrupted the market.

Why Black Vinyl was "Impossible"

Historically, the challenges were rooted in science:

• Thermal Expansion: Dark colors absorb a significant amount of solar radiation. Standard vinyl would expand and contract so aggressively that it would buckle, a phenomenon known as "oil canning."

• UV Degradation: Intense sunlight breaks down the chemical bonds in PVC, leading to oxidation (that chalky white film) and rapid fading.

• Heat Distortion: Without advanced cooling technology, the surface temperature of black siding could exceed the material's structural limits on a hot summer day.

Mitten Black Vinyl Siding with PVDF film redefines modern exteriors with:

• Industry-leading fade and weather resistance: thanks to proprietary black pigment technology and PVDF film.

• Two versatile, modern profiles: Single 8” Plank and Board & Batten.

• Deep, true neutral black that complements our collection of products for a high-end look.

•
