Vinyl Siding

Vinyl Siding Index

By Mary Hobson

Exterior siding is used on the walls of a house to make the house look attractive and to protect the construction from the worst of the weather. 

There are several kinds of sidings you can use, including wood and aluminum, but today most people choose vinyl siding because it is durable and low-maintenance.

Vinyl siding does not rot or flake. It doesn't need painting, since the color you choose is mixed into the vinyl as it is manufactured. Vinyl siding comes in preformed panels, with different grains and finishes. Many companies offering vinyl siding also manufacture drains and roofing, offering the possibility of matching all the exterior parts of a home.
