Dark
colors are one of the main attractions of the Quest 3 product
line. Beware warranty policies however (read below)
Alcoa
is one of the oldest siding manufacturers in America. Mastic is
another company under the Alcoa "umbrella." The top
product under the Mastic name is the Quest 3 line.Mastic has a
long history of building quality siding and invented the original
"T" lock installation lock that has become an industry
standard. At one time, Mastic was a major manufacturer of vinyl
in its' own right. Quest 3 is a nice product line with impressive
specifications. It is a 44 mil nominal thickness, hurricane rated
(190 mph), features a strong double strength nail hem, and a 3/4
inch profile height. The manufacturer claims it is 200% more rigid
than normal vinyl sidings. The color chart is large and varied
with 19 color choices. The grain pattern nicely resembles straight
grained cedar. Mastic uses a Geloy resin technology for high performance
and color retention which they claim provides superior fade resistance.
We have had some problems of late with faded siding and the warranty
policy of Mastic(Alcoa) doesn't begin to cover the needed replacement
costs. Thankfully some of our loyal installers (and our company)
have been willing to work for wages far below the industry average
to help our customers or they (our customers) would be out a lot
of money.

Quest 3 has impressive specifications quite similar to the Grand
Sierra line (2 mil. thinner) and expands the range of color options
quite dramatically. The Quest 3 line offers dark deep colors such
as Redwood(barn red), Sawmill ( a deep brown), and Pine Needle (a
nice forest green) as well as offering multi hued colors with a
Kynar finish. Mastic Quest 3 utilizes the same Geloy resins, has
a 190 mph wind rating, and carries a similar warranty to the Grand
Sierra line. The manufacturer claims it is 200% more rigid than
normal vinyl sidings. Are you ready for a great rumour? It is rumoured
Quest 3 will be available for you in most any color you choose as
a custom order option, just as you order paint. update: WA's oldest
Alcoa supplier closed shop so I think this rumor is losing credibility
here.
note:
Alcoa owns Mastic Corporation which manufactures a similar product
line called Quest 3.
