(NAPSA)—More of today’s homeowners are turning to vinyl siding when remodeling the exterior of their house. That’s because vinyl siding, unlike other siding products, never needs painting or staining, won’t absorb water so it won't warp, crack, split or rot, and it resists wood-boring insects, fungus and mildew. In addition, vinyl siding adds to the overall value and beauty of homes and can be installed over most existing sidewalls. But, because there are so manycolors, styles and designs to choose from, homeowners are faced with a very long and arduous process. In order to help homeowners make smarter decisions more easily, Alcoa Building Products, Inc., (ABP) has developed ColorScapes, a user-friendly interactive CDROM. This new color and design tool gives them the ability to design their home’s exterior, on screen, using Alcoa Classic Living Collection” and Mastic Premium Siding, performance Metals trim, Vintage Shutters and Designer Accessories. By either using a scanned photo of his own house, or selecting a house from an existing gallery of photos, the user simply points, clicks and drags this exterior siding choice directly onto the picture of the house. The homeownercan “try on”a variety of different siding, including Mastic’s Cedar Discovery and QUEST? Series, or Alcoa’s Grand Sierra, Liberty Elite and Silhouette*’— until she finds one that matches her house plan. Designer Accessories can be added, and include Accent Panels”, Vintage Shutters, decorative trim and door sur- rounds.
