Best high-performance ingredients
Rhino Shield is made with the highest quality binders, resins, and solids, which are crucial for creating a robust and long-lasting coating. This isn’t your regular paint; it’s a superhero in the world of exterior coatings.
- Binders and Resins: These act as the glue that holds the paint together, ensuring it adheres to your walls without cracking or peeling.
- Solids: These provide the body and depth to the paint, ensuring your home looks great on day one and continues to shine years later.
Our premium coating comes at a cost, though. While in the long run, you’ll save money over the many years you won’t have to repaint, Rhino Shield comes at an initial cost that is 2 to 2.5 times more than your typical paint job. However, many of our dealers offer financing options to make this investment more manageable.
The Rhino Shield promise: A 25-year, non-prorated warranty
Imagine buying a car that comes with a 25-year warranty. Sounds unbelievable, right? That’s the level of confidence we have in Rhino Shield. This isn’t just any warranty; it’s a promise that your home will look stunning for a quarter of a century. And if something does go wrong, we’ve got your back, even if it’s year 24, day 364.
Proven through testing: How Rhino Shield withstands the elements
New York’s weather is notorious for its extremes, from hot, humid summers to cold, snowy winters. Rhino Shield is specifically designed to handle these conditions, ensuring your home remains protected year-round.
Adhesion
The core of any long-lasting coating is its ability to stick reliably to the surface it’s protecting. This crucial characteristic, known as adhesion, is rigorously tested at Rhino Shield. Independent, third-party lab tests are conducted on various materials, including vinyl siding, metal, stucco, brick, and wood, to measure Rhino Shield’s adherence capability. Through a “pull test” measuring pounds per square inch (PSI), Rhino Shield has demonstrated adhesion strength as high as 709 PSI, indicating a bond often stronger than the materials themselves.
However, achieving optimal adhesion depends significantly on the product formulation and surface preparation. Cleaning and prepping the surface down to the spore level is essential to prevent biogrowth resurgence. Additionally, addressing any damage, such as rotting wood from moisture, is crucial before application. This underscores why Rhino Shield is exclusively applied by certified professionals trained to prepare and repair your home’s exterior thoroughly.
Elongation
Elongation is about how much a coating can stretch, which is vital in areas with extreme temperature changes. For example, a customer from Michigan highlighted the need for a paint that can adapt to both hot summers and cold winters. Rhino Shield’s flexibility allows it to move with your home’s natural expansion and contraction, preventing cracks and peeling. With a thickness of 8-10 dry mils, Rhino Shield significantly surpasses the elasticity of standard house paints, stretching up to 495%—well above the elastomeric standard.
Tensile strength
Tensile strength measures the force needed to damage or break a coating. Traditional paints, which are about 60% water, leave a much thinner layer after drying. Rhino Shield, on the other hand, contains 79% solids, resulting in a thick, durable coating capable of withstanding physical impacts and environmental stresses. This thick layer ensures Rhino Shield’s superior protection and longevity, with tensile strength testing over 200 PSI.
Permeability
A dual-function coating should block external water while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape. Rhino Shield excels in this, preventing rain penetration yet permitting vapor from cooking, showers, and breathing to dissipate. This balance maintains a healthy home environment, free from wood rot, mold, and peeling paint. Moreover, Rhino Shield meets the Federal Wind-Driven Rain Code, ensuring it can withstand conditions akin to a category 2 hurricane, highlighting its exceptional performance in coastal and varied climate areas.
