Modern Vinyl Siding Gives You Plenty of Options
Jan 24, 2014First introduced in the 1950s as a replacement for then-common aluminum siding, there’s a reason that vinyl siding has since gone on to become the most popular form of siding in the United States. More than one-third of the siding installed in the United States is vinyl, more than any other single type. Vinyl is attractive, durable, affordable, easy-to-install, and doesn’t need to be repainted every few years.
In times past, vinyl also presented some problems. It didn’t always hold its color well over time without fading or yellowing, it could sometimes buckle in extreme temperatures, and it didn’t always allow houses to “breathe,” trapping moisture between the siding and the walls which could lead to problems. However, vinyl siding technology has come a long way in the last few years, and high-quality modern vinyl has eliminated all of these problems.
Modern vinyl siding has also largely eliminated one other complaint that many people had about vinyl—that it all looked the same. Today’s vinyl siding gives you a wide array of options, with low-gloss finishes available and realistic grain patterns that can mimic wood, shingle, and even rock and brick. Here are a few of the options available to the modern vinyl siding shopper:
- Log cabin siding – Looks like real wood, with none of the expense or maintenance!
- Shake siding – Patterned from real cedar shingles, split shakes, and cedar shakes!
- Shingle siding – Patterned from narrow sawn cedar, with less than 3 repeats per box so there’s never a visible repeat pattern on walls!
- Staggered siding – Available in over 100 unique molds!
- Vinyl stone siding – Cast from actual stone for an authentic stone look!
- Vinyl brick siding – Injection molded from high quality copolymer to resist warping, impact, and discoloration!
