5 Advantages of Vinyl Siding

There are several ways in which you can transform the exterior of your home and vinyl siding is becoming one of the most popular choices. It’s worth noting that vinyl cladding is not a new thing, it was originally very popular in the 1950’s and 60’s.

Unfortunately, early examples earned a bad reputation, one that is not deserved today as modern materials and better manufacturing methods have made vinyl cladding one of the best options available to protect your home while making it look fantastic. If you want great results, the essential thing is to leave the job to the specialists. Expert James Hardie Siding installation, for example, can advise you on the best style and materials to suit your own needs.

Here are 5 distinct advantages of vinyl cladding:

1. Costs Less

You should choose a premium vinyl cladding and this will cost more than some of the other options available. But, in the medium to long-term, this investment will be very worthwhile.

Because vinyl cladding needs so little maintenance you’re yearly costs will be minimal, unlike painting your home where you’ll need to regularly re-do it.

In fact, if you choose vinyl cladding instead of wood cladding you’ll find that the purchase price is significantly less, as well as the long-term savings.

2. Options Available

Vinyl cladding can be made to fit any shape of building and comes in a huge array of colors, patterns, and textures. You’re certain to find one that appeals, even if you want Victorian scallops or a custom-designed feature, there is a vinyl cladding option to cover you.

3. Low Maintenance

We’ve mentioned that maintenance is minimal with vinyl cladding and it’s true. In fact, if you have it installed properly all you’ll need to do is pressure wash it once a year. This will remove any dirt and, if you use an anti-bacterial solution, it will discourage the re-growth of mold and algae.

That’s much easier than repainting the house every 3-5 years or staining your wood cladding to maintain the color and protect the wood.

It really is that easy to look after your cladding. The only exception is if it becomes damaged, in which case the damaged section can be removed and replaced by contacting siding companies Cincinnati.

4. Insulation

Vinyl cladding creates a small air gap between your cladding and the original walls. This is to allow it to be mounted properly. But, it also creates an air cushion that helps to insulate your home. This will help it to stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, effectively reducing your energy bill and making your home more comfortable.

You can even spend a little more and use vinyl cladding with insulation attached, making the insulation properties even better.

5. Durable

Vinyl cladding won’t rot like wood or rust like metal, it’s tough and can withstand a surprising amount of force, and it naturally resists moisture, reducing the risk of mold in your home.

It may not protect against every possible incident but it does a good job of trying and will last on your house for many years. It is fair to say it is the most durable of all the cladding options, combine this with the variety of textures and colors available, and the low maintenance and you have a product superior to any other.
