Siding options are plentiful and narrowing it down to just one type of material can feel like a major decision. Fortunately, vinyl remains one of the top siding preferences that offers an excellent return on investment due to its appealing affordability.
Historically, vinyl remains the ideal choice for both homeowners and contractors, and justifiably so. The benefits far outweigh any negatives with this versatile siding.
- One of the primary benefits to installing vinyl siding is the fact it’s simpler to clean than other types of material. For instance, homeowners do not need to scrape or repaint it to keep it looking new after time has passed. Instead, a basic rinse with the garden hose will remove the majority of accumulated dust or dirt. Mild soap and water washes away tougher dirt.
- Vinyl siding had a smaller environmental impact than other types of exterior cladding and may even be recyclable in some areas.
- Properly installed vinyl also prevents mold and mildew from forming.
- Another stellar selling point is its the ease of installation. Vinyl is lightweight and can be put up by skilled renovators in as little as a few days.
- Homeowners may not be aware that vinyl often comes with a lifetime warranty, and even a fade warranty in some cases.
- Vinyl siding surpasses most other types of siding in the affordability category. On top of being cheaper than other siding materials, the cost of installation is also lower, in addition to being cheaper to maintain.
- The array of vinyl colours look beautiful up close and from a distance. The colour goes all the way through, won’t chip or peel, and scratches are virtually invisible.
- Fading issues are also non-existent with vinyl siding as it has inherently excellent colour retention and will not require re-staining, like cedar siding, or repainting, like certain wood sidings.
- In addition, there is an extensive selection of colour options with vinyl siding to suit any design. Vinyl siding further comes in a variety of trims, styles, textures, and shapes so it easily wins in the versatility category.
- This type of siding is incredibly durable and resilient to denting and inclement weather conditions, like cold, moisture, and wind. As well, there will be little to no warping, decaying, or insect issues.
With so many great reasons to choose vinyl siding, peace of mind is also another one. Therefore, if you’re contemplating an exterior renovation to your home, you can’t go wrong with investing in all the strengths and charms of vinyl.
