One of the top options for siding for homes is vinyl siding, with more than 30% of homes in the U.S. having it. From its durability to easy maintenance, vinyl siding makes an attractive option to protect your home. Let’s dive into common and less commonly known facts that make vinyl siding so desirable.
Vinyl siding has grown in popularity over time due to its low cost. Did you know that it is not only economically friendly but an environmentally friendly choice as well? Compared to other options, vinyl siding is less likely to contribute to global warming. If decreasing your carbon footprint is a priority, vinyl siding is a great, sustainable option.
Many homeowners select vinyl siding for its benefit of improving insulation. Another lesser-known benefit is that by better insulating your home, outside noise is also reduced significantly. You can have as high as a 45% reduction in outside noise with vinyl siding when compared to other options.
Vinyl siding is also known for its durability against weather and water damage. While this decreases the chance of damage, it does not eliminate it. Even when damage does occur, a perk to vinyl siding is that repairs can often be done to a small, localized area. When detected early, it can often be done with replacing a few panels and not an entire wall or home. As a homeowner, you should regularly inspect and observe your vinyl siding for any sort of damage. The sooner it’s addressed, the cheaper your repair will likely be.
From a design point of view, you might have concerns about having options with vinyl siding. However, vinyl siding now comes in many forms. There is no need to sacrifice the appearance you desire. Colors and textures are plentiful. Some newer options even include vinyl siding that is designed to appear like wood. You can select from a range of siding to make for a curb-appealing modern home.
