Why Does America Side with Vinyl?

According to studies conducted by experts in the industry, the Vinyl Siding Institute has compiled this lists of arguments for vinyl siding installation and why is remains America’s number one choice:

BEAUTY: With its unmatched selection of colors, shapes, and textures – vinyl siding can play a beautiful role in your home’s exterior look – and will keep your home looking great year after year.

DURABILITY: Able to withstand high winds (certified to at least 110 mph) and resistant to the weathering effects of heat, cold, and moisture, vinyl siding will retain its great looks, guaranteed. Vinyl siding manufacturers generally offer a lifetime warranty for the original homeowner and typically carry a prorated warranty of at least 50 years to subsequent owners.

LOW MAINTENANCE: Unlike other exterior siding, vinyl siding only requires simple, periodic cleaning with mild soap and water from a garden hose. Homeowners do not have to worry about rotting, splitting, or insect damage. Other maintenance requirements such as painting and caulking are out of the question with vinyl siding.

ENVIRONMENTALLY GREEN: Vinyl siding demonstrates remarkably better environmental performance than any other exterior finish. Vinyl siding manufacturers have partnered with recyclers to increase access to recycling facilities for vinyl siding.

ECONOMICAL:  Vinyl and insulated siding consistently rank among the highest return on investments for remodeling projects. For all the beauty and durability vinyl siding delivers, what homeowners often appreciate most is its low installation cost –  lower than all other exterior cladding – and is backed by most manufacturers with a lifetime warranty. It’s also inexpensive to maintain because it never needs painting or caulking.  Simple periodic cleaning with soapy water and a sponge is all that is needed.
