GO GREEN WITH A METAL ROOF! WHY METAL IS A TRULY SUSTAINABLE ROOFING SOLUTION
By Luke Wilson
There’s a lot to like about vinyl siding in general
Vinyl siding continues to be the most popular siding replacement in the U.S. for many reasons – it serves to combine attractive aesthetics with durability and relative ease of maintenance, and it does so for a more attractive price than many other available siding materials! Here are a few things to like about vinyl siding in general:
It’s durable.
Vinyl is more durable than some other comparable siding options. It’s weather-resistant, moisture-resistant, and pest-resistant, and doesn’t easily rot or corrode over time. A well-installed vinyl siding replacement can last you for many years to come.
It’s easy to maintain.
Vinyl is engineered to be resistant, but it’s also fairly easy to maintain. Wood siding requires regular repainting or restaining – but vinyl siding doesn’t. Cleaning vinyl is much simpler than trying to clean other siding materials, too.
It’s more resistant to mold & mildew.
While mold & mildew can sometimes take hold in warm, humid climates, vinyl is a more resistant material to these threats. Moisture can’t penetrate vinyl, and vinyl siding is inherently more “breathable” too. How does that work? Properly-installed vinyl siding allows any collected moisture to escape from beneath, thus helping to inhibit the development of mold or mildew. That simply isn’t the case with some other siding products.
It comes at an attractive price, with long-term cost effectiveness, too.
Vinyl siding costs less to buy up front, but the cost savings don’t end there. You also get the benefit of spending less on maintenance costs over time, as well. If what you’re really looking for is a long-term, cost-effective siding replacement solution, then vinyl is pretty hard to beat!
Vinyl also comes in many custom varieties.
You may assume that all vinyl siding looks the same, but that simply isn’t the case. Did you know that vinyl can actually be engineered to closely mimic the look and texture of real wood? It’s true, and nobody does vinyl siding shakes and shingles better than the pros at Norandex!
