Announcing New Super Shield for Roofs

At Rhino Shield^®, we are pleased to announce a new product that we feel homeowners are really going to be excited about: introducing, Super Shield^® Roof Coatings.

Undergoing a complete roofing replacement can be a seriously expensive project and it is especially exhausting if you end up trying to do it yourself.  Super Shield^® installations are simple, fast and far more cost effective than a roof overhaul.  Our product forms a protective membrane around your existing roof that expands or contracts with temperature.  Super Shield^® also keeps your roof sealed and protected from moisture and the growth of mold and mildew.

This specially formulated ceramic coating for roofs has similar heat and ultra-violet resistance properties of our more common Rhino Shield^® exterior coatings, working to save on heating and cooling costs for your home. Super Shield^® may be applied to most roofing surfaces including primed metal, clay concrete, asphalt, bonded roof gravel, slate, tile, etc.

To find out more even more about this exciting new product from Rhino Shield^®, feel free to contact us today and we’ll be happy to tell you all about how this product can improve your home’s roof.

Rhino Shield and Lifetyme Exteriors compared

Some time in the past our competitor Lifetyme Exteriors posted on their blog some misinformation about our product. It has caused some confusion so we thought we would provide factual verifiable information to help understand the difference between Rhino Shield and Lifetyme Exteriors product SmartColor. We always say that an educated customer will always choose Rhino Shield. If you’re considering a permanent coating system you will find this information invaluable in making your decision.

Lifetyme Exteriors states the following on their website blog:

“Rhino Shield of New England – has ceramic coating materials that have largely been used until this point in hot weather areas. When you look at where the vast majority of Rhino Shield franchises are located, you will find that the bulk of them are located in southern states with hot weather climates.” – http://lifetymeexteriors.wordpress.com/what-is-it/

Rhino Shield’s Response? It is flat out incorrect.

Rhino Shield is actually the only coating company with over a decade of proven performance in cold weather climates.

I guess at first glance you would think ceramic = hard like porcelain it will get cold and break. This is essentially a ruse to try and dismiss our product. It’s important to understand that these ceramic microspheres are suspended in our proprietary flexible coating system. They are the size of a grain of flour, they can withstand over 8,000 pounds of pressure and are indefinite i.e. they do not breakdown. Much like you can purchase ceramic brakes for your car and they come with a lifetime warranty (and of course they are used in cold weather climates). The Ceramic microspheres in Rhino Shield are not affected by hot or cold weather. They actually can withstand -100 to +200 degrees variations without any effect. Now this is the scientific part let’s talk real world and compare Rhino Shield’s Track Record and Lifetyme Exteriors Track Record in Cold Weather Applications.

This is where we can provide verifiable proof that Rhino Shield is a FAR SUPERIOR PRODUCT than Lifetime Exteriors SmartColor. The best real world example, is that in cold weather climates Rhino Shield has performed flawlessly for over a decade where Lifetyme Exteriors product has numerous failures even failing in most cases before a regular paint job.

One of Rhino Shield’s first dealer locations was in Indiana, where the average winter temperature is 25 – 35 degrees. This Rhino Shield dealers business started April of 2001 and has an A rating with the BBB. That’s 11 years with an A rating in a cold environment.

Our dealership has an A+ BBB record going on 8 years!

Compare these flawless track records with:

Lifetime Exteriors B rating with 19 lodged complaints as of this writing.

THE FACT IS: Rhino Shield has installations in the cold northeast without issue going on 11 years.

Compared to Lifetyme Exteriors SmartColor with numerous failures that customers could not get even a response without filing a complaint with the BBB for assistance.

A great new feature of the BBB is now you can read the lodged complaints.

PBS Television Series “This Old House” Invites Rhino Shield of New England

Pembroke, Mass., (September 16^th, 2009) – Rhino Shield of New England announced today their company has been selected to perform exterior work on a project that will be featured on the upcoming season of the Emmy-winning PBS home improvement series This Old House.

The 30^th anniversary season of This Old House premieres nationally on PBS Thursday, October 8. The first project of the season focuses on the renovation of a 1915 Dutch Colonial located in the Boston suburb of Newton Centre. This Old House will be televising the progress of the renovation from start to finish as the homeowners add 330 sq.-ft. to the existing structure. Rhino Shield will provide the exterior finish to both the current home and new addition.

The Newton Centre homeowners, Bill and Gillian Pierce, purchased the property in 2004. Their goal was to eventually add to their living space, but the space needed to be in-sync with the look and character of the original home. Teaming with their architect they accomplished both goals, designing a two floor addition that will seamlessly meld the old with the new.

“A homeowner’s desire to maintain the original look of their home is an important factor when customers choose Rhino Shield,” said co-owner Pat Foley. “Rhino Shield’s ceramic based coating offers them improved durability over conventional paint, but they don’t have to sacrifice the appearance of a traditional paint job.”

Rhino Shield will strip, seal, and repair the existing siding, then spray a bonding primer and two coats of their patented ceramic based finish product. The exact color match and traditional “paint like” coating will tie the original home to the new addition and create the unified look the homeowner requires.

Rhino Shield co-owner Mat Giovanello said his company is looking forward to showing TV viewers the Rhino Shield process. “We’re excited to be working with the team at This Old House. It is the most respected home improvement series on TV; they invented the genre.” Giovanello added that despite the bright lights of TV they expect to handle this project like any other. “Whether it’s This Old House or any other house, Rhino Shield treats every project with the same care and respect.”

The This Old House Newton Centre project premieres nationally on PBS Thursday, October 8 (check  www.thisoldhouse.com/tvschedule for listings). Visit  www.thisoldhouse.com to access a project overview, photo gallery, and live webcams featuring 24/7 progress of the This Old House Newton Centre project.

Avoid Painting Your House Every 4-5 Years

So you are thinking of painting your home this year but you have grown tired of the cycle of painting every 3 to 5 years. You’ve been doing research and have questions on the long term benefits of  a “cermaic coating” solution.
If you have decided that you will take that step then look to none other than Rhino Shield of New England™.

Finally a system that provides a comprehensive solution to painting your home: The Rhino-Shield™ Ceramic Coating System.

The Rhino-Shield™ Ceramic Coating System can provide your home or office with an exterior coating that has a retains the elegance of fresh paint and adds the durability of fiber ceement or vinyl siding.

Rhino-Shield™ offers a product that combines superior quality with unparrelled longevity.

Rhino-Shield™ Ceramic Coating System creates unique benefits for your home including:

High specification insulation Secure waterproofing Unique soundproofing qualities Immaculate detail

The Rhino-Shield™ application process has proven to protect your property against the harshest weather while improving the overall energy efficiency.

Ceramic Micro spheres were invented in the early 1960s by the 3M Company as an outgrowth from the manufacture of solid ceramic beads. Because the micro spheres are made from ceramics, they provide the additional benefits of high heat and chemical resistance.

The central air pocket in the micro spheres provides an insulating barrier for your walls much like a thermos bottle does. This insulating, industrial maintenance-free coating is long lasting, offering superior mildew resistance, corrosion resistance, and ultra-violet ray reflectivity.

Rhino-Shield’s 3M Ceramics incorporate different sized microspheres as fillers. Conventional paints utilize inexpensive mineral products as fillers that are irregular in shape and size. These irregularly-shaped fillers don’t pack nearly as well as a mix of small and large microspheres. (The smaller spheres pack more tightly into the spaces between the larger spheres.) The more densely the coating is packed with microspheres, the less permeable it is to stains and the thicker it is when dry.

Adding 3M ceramic micro spheres and high quality Titanium Dioxide to our top grade 100% acrylic elastomeric resins makes Rhino Shield reflect more light and heat, repel water better, and is more durable than any other coating on the market.

Ongoing testing and constant improvements ensure that Rhino Shield will remain the absolute best exterior coating for your home.
