Vinyl Siding
Although there are many types of siding currently available, there are very good reasons why installing vinyl siding is the most popular choice for remodeling and new construction. It delivers the warm, quality appearance of wood without the costly, time-consuming maintenance and repairs.
Those who install vinyl siding will have a material on their home that won't split, peel or rot. It’s economical, can withstand strong winds and temperatures ranging from sub-zero to over100 degrees Fahrenheit, while defying both termites and moisture. It’s also relatively inexpensive to install. While we may not get to expremes quite that wide in New Jersey, siding is great option for withstanding the variations we do get. Washing your vinyl siding annually or bi-annually is the only recommended maintenance. Vinyl siding is available in several profiles, but the most common types are clapboard, dutch lap, board and batten, and wood shingle siding. However, keep in mind that the cost of vinyl siding will vary according to the different styles, brands, and colors. For example, the cedar shake style of vinyl siding is over 4 times the cost of standard vinyl siding.
Vinyl Siding Options
You should definitely give consideration to the style and material that best suits not only your budget, but your home's architectural style. There are many variables to consider when choosing a specific siding type for your building, but four of the most important are the insulating factor, thickness, color, and style of the panel. If a panel is too thin, it can show flaws in the wall underneath. Thicker vinyl products are more rigid, which can add to the aesthetic appeal and look of the finished installation, add durability, and also increase life expectancy. Thicker grades don’t crack as easily in very cold weather and have greater impact resistance. For those who want to install vinyl siding in NJ, that is important to keep in mind. Siding will eventually fade over time but the fade rate is still slower than any other cladding or paint. Generally speaking, brighter colors fade more rapidly. Installing a vinyl siding color that blends in nicely with the other homes in the neighborhood is probably a more sensible investment than a wildly unconventional one. Like color, with style there needs to be a balance between personal preference and your environment.
Replace Aluminum Siding
Vinyl siding is a good choice for areas with lots of children versus aluminum siding or aluminum vinyl coated siding. Aluminum siding tends to dent easily, and replacing aluminum siding is not only expensive, but has limited availability as well. For this reason, vinyl siding is most commonly used to replace aluminum siding.
