Vinyl Siding

There are plenty of benefits that vinyl siding can offer you, from affordability to color choice to installation to increasing the resale value of your home.

This exterior cladding provides a way for you to protect your property with minimum expense and effort as well as with virtually no maintenance. While we always recommend looking at all the options available, you are definitely going to want to consider the many advantages of vinyl siding.

If you aren't convinced by these, you probably won't be swayed by certfication standards and environmentally friendly product labels. So while there are many more reasons why vinyl siding should be considered for your home, we hope you will read about these 7 benefits.

1. Affordability

As an exterior cladding, vinyl is often less expensive than other similar products. The average cost of vinyl siding is approximately $1.60 per square foot. In comparison, wood siding is typically more than twice this cost. In addition, you will most likely save even greater amounts with reduced installation and maintenance expenses.

2. Color Choices

Vinyl can be pre-fabricated in a wide variety of colors. Not only will this provide an attractive look for your home’s exterior, but will save additional painting expenses that you would incur with wood siding. With better technology, the range of color choices has dramatically increased over the years.

3. Easy Installation

Vinyl panels are made in a standardized size and shape, making it easy to install on your own. In addition, there are many skilled professionals that have experience in installation, guaranteeing that you will receive the best use out of your siding. Siding contractors are able to efficiently and correctly install the siding due to their familiarity with the product.

4. Home Protection

Vinyl creates a weatherproof barrier for the exterior of your home. It can prevent damage from wind, water, and ice. It does not retain moisture like wood-paneled siding, helping to avoid the effects of mildew and rot.

5. Less Maintenance

One of the most attractive features of vinyl siding is the reduction in maintenance time and expenses. Vinyl does not require on-going painting, finishing, and securing projects.

If a single panel is damaged, it can easily be removed and replaced. With a little soap and water, you can wash off the dirt and dust that may accumulate on your home’s exterior on a periodic basis.

6. Greater Durability

Vinyl is second only to stone and brick siding in terms of durability. It is designed to last your lifetime and longer. With increases in technology, vinyl panels will now hold their color longer and be more resistant to damage. Many siding manufacturers even offer lifetime warranties on their vinyl products.

7. Increased Home Value

As vinyl continues to improve, it is becoming increasingly popular as a choice for home’s exteriors. Over 30% of the new homes in the U.S. now choose vinyl siding. Using this product as your choice in siding will speak to the longevity and durability of your home’s exterior, increasing its resale value.

Vinyl exterior cladding is not a natural product. It is made from polyvinyl chloride or as it is more commonly called PVC. As the siding is made from this substance it has durability and good warranties.

Few other types of siding barring that of stone siding is known to last as long, before you need to see about installing new sheets or panels of siding.

The manufactures of vinyl cladding are often fashioning their siding to look like wood. The colors that are baked into the vinyl enhances the look. To make vinyl that stands up to the needs of customers, the siding has been made so that it also feels like wood.

Many siding companies will design the vinyl so that you can attach it to the exterior of your home easily. Once the siding has been installed, there are decorative vinyl components that you can add.

These will not only make your house look more attractive but they can also hide any joinery that may be obvious in the siding. Accessories can include dentil moldings, corner posts, shutters, window and door surrounds, and more.

You can also install siding on your exterior walls in a horizontal, diagonal, and even upright pattern. The siding is available in varying clapboard widths and textures.

Many homeowners have found that vinyl has many more benefits than those listed here. By spending some time researching the alternatives, you will find a siding that will last for many years and your house will always look good.
