Why Vinyl Siding?
What are the benefits
of vinyl siding? Vinyl siding is a terrific way to update
the look of your home, thereby increasing your resale value. In addition, vinyl siding reduces your home maintenance costs
and protects your house from the elements.
· Is painting more cost effective than vinyl siding? From a short-term point of view, painting is certainly less expensive. However,
after approximately three years, the pendulum begins to swing in favor of vinyl. Not only will you boost your resale value,
but you will also enjoy the ease of caring for vinyl siding.
Quick note: Typically your home must be repainted every three to
five years. Vinyl is one-time investment.
· Can you briefly describe vinyl siding? Vinyl siding is constructed from polyvinyl chloride, better known as PVC. PVC has replaced
metal as the dominant material for many consumer, industrial and consumer products. A revolutionary construction material,
PVC provides impact-resistance, strength and rigidity.
· What other types of siding are available? Today’s choices include vinyl, wood, cement, aluminum and steel. The preferred
option? Vinyl.
· Why is vinyl so popular? It is virtually maintenance free. The color does not peel, blister or flake, so there is never the
need to paint. Another advantage is that it does not contribute to termite infestation, rotting or moisture buildup. You will
also discover that vinyl has no effect on television or radio reception.
