Exterior Siding Options
The siding of your home serves as its ‘face’ to the world. Siding gives your home character, flavor, and personality-or the lack thereof. Whether you opt for stucco, brick, or standard vinyl siding, be sure to choose a siding that suits your lifestyle and will stand up to the climate around your home.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding, the most typical siding option today, is made from PVC plastic. Vinyl siding has become inordinately popular because of it offers cheap price, ease of installation, and basic durability. The drawbacks to vinyl include its very ordinariness; its propensity for cracking and fading over time; and its reputation for environmental problems. Some consumers opt for a liquid PVC coating sprayed on other types of panels, in order to provide vinyl protection without the vinyl look. Liquid PVC must be applied by a professional, and the reviews regarding its efficacy have been mixed.
Stone Siding
Stone siding has been the building material of choice for millennia. Perhaps the most durable of all siding types, stone siding is both beautiful and virtually indestructible. Typical types of stone siding include limestone siding, granite siding, and slate siding. While the high cost of stone siding is beyond most homeowners’ budgets, stone veneers are facings maintain the look and feel of stone siding, at a much more affordable price.
Wood Siding
Wood siding provides an all-American, earthy look that is perfect for wooded landscapes. Wood siding does require some maintenance, but with the proper care, wooden siding can easily outlast synthetic materials. Wood clapboard siding comes in a variety of natural woods, and can be stained rather than painted in order to minimize peeling. Cedar shingles, also known as shakes, generally require less maintenance than wood clapboard siding. Synthetic wood siding (including engineered wood siding which combines wood products with other materials) is inexpensive and easy to install, but may not replicate the wood look exactly.
Brick Siding
Brick siding offers the advantages durability and pleasant appearance. Although pricey, brick siding generally does not require any repairs or patching for a quarter of a century. As stone siding, brick siding is available in brick veneer, a more affordable option for many. Although brick veneer may duplicate the look of brick siding, it cannot match the longevity of solid brick siding.
Metal Siding
Metal siding, such as aluminum siding and seamless steel siding, is very strong if a touch unconventional. Seamless steel siding, custom fit to your home’s dimensions, resists bulging and shrinking nicely. Some steel siding comes with a wood-look texture; others consist of corrugated steel. Aluminum siding is susceptible to denting and fading, but is fireproof and crack-free.
Cement Fiber Siding
A synthetic material, cement fiber siding replicates the look of stucco, wood, or stone. Fiber cement siding is also fireproof and termite-proof. Good quality brands may be expected to last for as long as fifty years.
Stucco Siding
Stucco siding consists of cement, combined with water and other materials to create various stucco finishes. Genuine stucco has remained popular throughout the generations for its beauty, solidity, and moisture-resistance. Many types of synthetic stucco are also available on the market today; however, synthetic stucco siding often cannot compare to authentic stucco siding when it comes to durability.
