DISCLAIMERS

Simply Clean Glass July 2010

1. Silicone Leaching (Picture Framing)

In the process of using Silicone to glaze our windows that contain the Simply Clean coating, perimeter leaching may appear on the exterior surface of the glass. This condition may show itself in the form of water beading on the perimeter. This is a normal occurrence and is called Picture Framing in the industry. For further information, please refer to www.cardinalcorp.com.

This issue does not indicate a defect with our product. It is a normal result of using Fir plywood G1S that after time will swell slightly due to humidity in the home and cause a slight amount of the wood grain to show through the arborite.
