The Many Benefits of Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is the most popular siding material in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and throughout North America, and there are a number of reasons for this including the many benefits of vinyl siding coupled with the affordability. When homeowners in the Delaware Valley want new vinyl siding installed, they turn to the established and trusted team at NexGen Exterior Home Remodeling. NexGen uses only premium siding products and installs them with the meticulousness that your home deserves.

What Is Vinyl Siding?

Vinyl siding is engineered from polyvinyl chloride resin. PVC is among the most widely used construction materials in the world because it’s durable, long-lasting, and relatively inexpensive. It’s effective as a siding material because it requires little to no maintenance and will never fade or rot, and more recently, manufacturers have made great strides in their manufacturing processes to deliver vinyl siding products that are more beautiful and available in a wider range of colors and textures.

Great Reasons to Choose Vinyl Siding

The many benefits of vinyl siding include curb appeal that makes a house a neighborhood standout, and there are many styles to choose ranging from vinyl siding that looks like traditional clapboard to siding that mimics other materials, such as cedar and slate. Whatever color you choose, you know that the siding will maintain that vibrant hue in the decades to come without maintenance. Vinyl siding is an environmentally friendly option, and it will protect your home against the elements and pests. You’ll also get an excellent warranty and a better return on investment than most other siding materials.

A Wide Range of Options for Your Home

One of the other benefits of vinyl siding is the sheer amount of choice available to the homeowner. You can opt for traditional lap or many other types of horizontal panels. Perhaps you prefer board and batten or another type of vertical panel, or you can mix and match. Shakes are also an option, and you can break up your home’s aesthetic with scallops, faux stone, and many other features.

Horizontal Panels

Horizontal panels are the traditional and most popular choice for residential exterior cladding. This is a broad category that includes clapboard, Dutch lap, beaded siding, and many other options.

Vertical Panels

Vertical panels run up and down as opposed to side to side. These are sometimes associated with a rustic aesthetic, such as with board and batten, but have become a trendy option in modern home design.

Traditional Lap

Traditional lap or clapboard is the original siding style used in America since Colonial times. These panels provide simple and clean lines and are available in the widest range of colors and textures.

Dutch Lap

Dutch lap is an alternative to clapboard that has a concave face rather than a flat surface. That difference provides the siding more of a handcrafted aesthetic and more complexity due to shadowing.

Board and Batten

Board and batten is the classic style of vertical siding used in North America. It lends a home a more rustic aesthetic and can also be paired with horizontal panels as a way to provide contrast.

Beaded

Beaded panels are a type of horizontal panel that has a V-shaped groove that runs along the bottom of the board. This groove gives the product an appearance that resembles wood and fiber cement siding.

Shakes Siding

Shakes

This style of vinyl siding resembles cedar siding shingles that have been cut to have a rough-hewn outer surface. You can clad a home entirely in shakes or use it to distinguish various aspects of the design.

scallops

Scallops

Scallops or scalloped siding is a type of vertical panel that has a curved bottom. While you can clad an entire home in scallops, they’re often used for contrast, such as on gables and under windows.

Is It Time to Replace Your Vinyl Siding?

Longevity is one of the great benefits of vinyl siding, and we recommend replacing it proactively as the siding nears its expected lifespan. Vinyl siding does not require much maintenance if any at all in most cases. We do recommend having it cleaned as needed and keeping an eye on it for potential problems. The biggest issues to watch for include missing panels and panels that have cracks or holes. You should also monitor your heating and cooling expenditures as a sudden spike can be due to failing siding.
