How is Homeland Vinyl manufactured?

Our products are manufactured using state-of-the art process called co-extrusion, which concentrates UV inhibitors on the exterior layer where they can combat the sun’s harmful rays. Co-extrusion is the manufacturing process that we use to molecularly bond the two ingredients into two layers. These layers are fused through extreme heat and pressure and cannot be physically separated.

Normally any yellowing will go away after washing.
