Vinyl Siding
Introduced to the market in the early 1960s, vinyl siding has grown in popularity because of its durability, versatility and ease of maintenance. Manufactured with polyvinyl chloride, vinyl siding is impact resistant, rigid and strong. In fact, vinyl siding is the number one choice of exterior cladding across the U.S.A.
There are many advantages to using vinyl siding, such as its availability in a broad palate of colors, including the traditional pastel and earthy color options as well as darker colors and bold, rich tones such as barn reds, hunter and sage greens, deep blues and more. Nearly 300 different colors are available that meet ASTM standards for vinyl siding color retention.
Vinyl siding also is available in many profiles, including horizontal and vertical panels, shakes, scallops, shingles, fishscales, traditional lap, inyl Dutch lap and beaded designs in various widths.
In addition, vinyl costs the least of all siding materials to install. And product performance and installer knowledge are both independently certified. Performance testing by the Vinyl Siding Institute is administered by Architectural Testing, Inc. of York, PA, a program that allows manufacturers to certify with independent, third party verification that their products meet or exceed the industry standard – ASTM D3679.
Another key test of quality is how long manufacturers are willing to warrant their products. Warranties offered by vinyl manufacturers typically last a lifetime and can be transferred to the next owner.
With the ability to withstand high winds (certified up to 110 mph or higher) and a composition that resists heat, cold and moisture, vinyl siding retains its looks over time. And vinyl siding never ever needs paint. The only maintenance it requires is a simple wash with a soft cloth and garden hose. Any look — historic to contemporary — can be achieved with today's vinyl siding.
