The Different Benefits of Vinyl Siding

Vinyl is one of the most popular siding materials to choose from, but why exactly is it so popular? What are the different benefits that you can get from this option? Here is a quick rundown of the biggest vinyl siding perks from the best siding and roofing installation contractor in the area.

Excellent Durability

Despite being one of the lighter siding materials available, vinyl siding boasts excellent durability. Vinyl siding panels can withstand moderate impact damage that would otherwise shatter wood panels of a similar thickness. Vinyl is also virtually immune to moisture damage so there’s no need to worry about rust or rot.

Easier Maintenance

Because vinyl siding has fewer threats compared to other siding options, keeping vinyl panels in good shape requires very little maintenance. You’ll still need a siding and roof maintenance company to have it checked for possible signs of problems but the siding will rarely need anything beyond the basic routine cleaning.

Better Energy Efficiency

Wood siding is known for being able to keep heat from penetrating the home. It would be the perfect option if it wasn’t so prone to rot and termite damage. Fortunately, vinyl offers similar levels of heat resistance while also doing away with wood’s vulnerability to wood. As a result, you get the energy-efficiency of wood siding without its negatives.

Value Over Time

Some homeowners think that a low upfront cost means your siding won’t offer long-term value. However, experts say that vinyl is a great option if you want to minimize the siding and emergency roof repair costs spent on your home. The cheaper (and less frequent) maintenance) combined with the savings you get from having good energy efficiency will translate to hundreds or even thousands of dollars saved over the course of vinyl siding’s lifespan.
