VINYL IS THE TOP CHOICE IN HOME SIDING FOR DURABILTY, EASE OF OWNERSHIP AND COST EFFECTIVENESS
Vinyl is without a doubt America’s choice in home siding. The plastic exterior cladding originally engineered to mimic wood planks has only been on the market since the 1950s, but in that short span, it has dominated the home siding market. And the main reason for the popularity? It combines excellent benefits of lifespan, ease of installation, low maintenance and can do it economically. With its relatively low price compared to other materials, it will continue to remain a staple of home building and renovation.
In the simplest terms, vinyl siding is plastic. And as with all chemically engineered substances, it gives manufacturers the ability to consistently upgrade mixes… working on strength and flexibility, toughness and durability. Improvements to vinyl siding products are made daily, and manufacturers are working constantly on upgrading materials.
There are many advantages to vinyl siding over and above affordability and cost-effectiveness. Here are just a few:
- CUSTOMIZATION: Over the years vinyl siding manufacturers have found ways to match almost all beloved siding styles. Theres Woodgrain, Dutch Lap, Beaded, Vertical Panel, Clap Board, and more. Manufacturers have created vinyl that mimics Single Panels, Board and Batton, Cedar Shake Planks and even Log Cabin styles. The sky is the limit when it comes to siding. And colors! Any color you can possibly imagine is engineered right into the product. Since it’s not painted or coated on, the color is throughout the panel. The only thing limiting your vinyl siding style is your imagination.
- DURABILITY: As stated, since the entire product is manufactured from the same substance, and there’s no coating or paint to scratch or chip, vinyl siding is as tough as it is durable. It’s fade resistant, and scratch resistant leaving your home siding basically the same as the day you installed it for years to come.
- MAINTENANCE FREE: Painting, scraping, repairing rot and fighting pests requires time and attention. Vinyl makes all that a thing of the past. The worst thing that can happen outside of physical damage is dirt, and all that requires to remedy is some soap and water. Maybe some pressure washing if you’ve left it go a long time.
- ENERGY EFFICIENT: Any home cladding product will offer energy efficiency and vinyl siding does the same. If you choose an insulated vinyl siding you can increase your home’s R value, and with trim, ventilation and soffit and fascia you can increase energy efficiency by a significant amount.
- ECO FRIENDLY: Vinyl is a plastic, and people here the word and think plastic=bad for the environment, but in the case of vinyl siding, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) have recognized vinyl siding products from many manufacturers as “Green Approved”. You also lower your carbon footprint when you choose vinyl siding since vinyl doesn’t require painting, and painting releases toxic chemicals into the environment.
