See what a façade failure
could really cost you over time.
Compare standard, pro-rated, and finish-only warranties against Fairview Architectural’s Non-Prorated Repair & Replacement, Transferable Product & Finish Warranty, and uncover the true financial exposure our competitors leave up to you.
Why Warranty Matters More Than Price
Most façade warranties look good on paper until you read the fine print.
Competitor warranties often:
- Exclude labor and tear-down costs
- Pro-rate material value over time
- Limit coverage to finishes only, not product failure
- Become void after ownership transfer
When a failure happens years down the road, the real cost isn’t the panel; it’s removal, reinstallation, inflation, and downtime.
This calculator shows what those exclusions can cost over the life of your building.
What This Calculator Reveals
This tool estimates the real financial impact of a façade failure under different warranty structures over time.
You’ll see:
- What competitors don’t cover
- How inflation magnifies replacement costs
- How warranty limitations shift risk back to the owner
- Why Fairview’s warranty protects long-term value, not just materials
This is not a marketing comparison.
It’s a risk exposure model.

The Cost of a Warranty Gap
Over the life of a building, a single façade failure could result in:
Seven-figure, out-of-pocket exposure if the warranty does not cover full repair and replacement.
This calculator makes that risk visible before it becomes real.
Why Fairview’s Warranty Is Different
Fairview Architectural doesn’t treat warranties as legal protection. We treat them as asset protection.
Our warranty includes:
- Non-Prorated coverage
- Repair & Replacement, not just materials
- Product AND Finish coverage
- Transferable protection for future owners
The result: Less risk. Higher asset value. Real peace of mind.
