What Is Vinyl Siding?
Vinyl siding is a type of exterior protection for your home. It’s made of highly durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This is one of the most affordable and common siding materials today. A wide range of color options are available to match your home’s overall look. The color is added as part of the manufacturing process, meaning the color has additional UV resistance and won’t fade quickly in the sun. It protects against water and pest damage and can be used to add additional insulation to your home, saving you money on heating during the winter. Although vinyl siding can vary, there are three main types and styles. Look at the differences between each type:
- Vertical Vinyl Siding – This has become a go-to contemporary look for today’s homeowners. It’s typically installed in a board and batter style, alternating wider and smaller boards. This installation style ensures a great look without the cost of wood siding. Vertical siding is easier to clean and maintain with increased durability. Water rolls down the boards instead of getting stuck in rivets and cracks.
- Horizontal Vinyl Siding – Horizontal is the most common style. You can find this siding in various styles, colors, and textures. It’s usually the most affordable style while remaining durable and attractive. Our team can quickly install horizontal siding without much disruption to your daily routine. One of the downsides is that this style can be challenging to clean and maintain.
- Cedar Shake Vinyl Siding – Similar to roofing shingles, these pieces overlap on top of one another. This style creates a rustic look and is primarily used in accents. There are several different shapes available such as typical squares or half-round shakes. Shake siding is more expensive in materials and installation than vertical and horizontal.
