Why Vinyl Is the Superior Siding Material

Wood siding remains a popular choice among homeowners, but is it really the best choice? While wood siding is undeniably beautiful, it’s outclassed by a more efficient and durable material: vinyl. Read on as V. Nanfito Roofing and Siding discusses the benefits of switching to vinyl siding:

Why Vinyl Is the Superior Siding Material

Durable and Resilient

Vinyl surpasses wood in both durability and elemental resilience, and it’s also better at resisting extreme temperatures and moisture. Vinyl can handle rainwater better than wood, and it’s virtually immune to rotting. Wood, on the other hand, is notoriously weak to rainwater, even with waterproofing treatments. Vinyl is also a wind-resistant material that can withstand wind velocities of more than 200 mph. This means tear-offs are a non-issue when you install vinyl siding.

Energy Efficient

Not only does vinyl siding yield better strength and resistance to the elements, it can also improve the energy efficiency of your home. Vinyl has natural insulating properties and the ability to reduce thermal bridging. As your local siding contractor, we can install insulated vinyl siding on your home that will help you reduce your home’s energy costs.

More Design Options

Finally, vinyl has a more expansive array of color and design options. With wood, you’re often restricted to wood stains and earthy colors, which can be restrictive because such hues only work with traditional homes. With vinyl, you can choose lighter and deeper colors. On the flip side, vinyl has wood stains that make it appear just like real wood siding. This is why vinyl siding’s extended color palette makes it the most versatile exterior wall cover for homeowners.
