How to Choose Vinyl Siding for Your Home
November 5, 2020
When it comes to picking out siding for your home, there a number of options in the industry to consider. Choosing certain styles can make or break the appearance of your home. This is why it is so important to make careful considerations to ensure jaw-dropping results. If you are looking for siding that will be low maintenance, durable, and comes in a variety of colors, you might want to consider vinyl siding.
Vinyl siding is a great choice as the first line of defense for protecting your home. It is low-maintenance as there is no need to repaint year after year. To clean it, all you need to do is wash it with a little soap and water. It's a durable product and won't rot like wood products. Its flexible properties can resist small impacts. Vinyl is available in a variety of styles and the installation is fairly easy.
If you are thinking of choosing vinyl for your siding, you should take a look at a variety of features including:
- Product Thickness- The thicker the product the more durable it is.
- Double Nailing Hem- This makes the product less likely to sag and offers more resistance against high winds.
- Deeper Lap Profiles- This offers a more convincing look of real wood.
- Foam Backing- This makes the product more durable and offers some insulation.
- Wind Speed Rating- The higher the product is rated for certain speeds, the more effective it will be at staying in place during high winds.
- Longer panels- The longer the panel is, the fewer seams you will have.
Choosing the Right Color
The color of vinyl siding you choose will greatly impact how you feel about your home. When you are faced with choosing a color consider the following tips.
- Pick a color that will complement your roofing as well as stone or bricks on your house.
- Choose a color that is compatible with your neighborhood.
- Get samples of siding colors and look at them at different times of the day to determine how it looks when the light hits it.
