CMI Extends MiraTEC Trim Warranty to 30 Years

Chicago-based CMI has extended the warranty coverage for MiraTEC® treated exterior composite trim to 30 years. According to company officials, MiraTEC is now the only wood composite trim product to provide combined warranty protection against hail damage, delamination, decomposition due to fungal growth, splitting and cracking, and buckling for 30 years. No hardboard or oriented strand board (OSB) trim product available offers this level of protection.

CMI, which manufactures MiraTEC trim at its production facility in Towanda, Pa., extended the warranty from 25 to 30 years after more than eight years of successful use on residential and commercial buildings in weather conditions throughout the country.

"We've been extremely pleased with the durability and long-term performance MiraTEC has shown since we first introduced it," explained Bob Merrill, president and chief executive officer of CMI. "Extending the warranty is a reflection of our confidence in the performance capabilities of MiraTEC trim, and it gives our customers peace of mind knowing they have the industry's best coverage among exterior wood composite trim products."
