Why You Should Use Vinyl Siding for Your Home
If you’ve been thinking about doing an exterior remodel of your home then you’ve probably already asked yourself of those around you: Is siding better than wood or brick? Undoubtedly, you’ve probably received several differing opinions in reply, especially if you merely asked close friends and family rather than sought the input of a professional. Of course, each type of siding has its benefits, but vinyl siding is by far the superior material when it comes to protecting your home and making it look great. There are several advantages which vinyl has over both wood and brick siding options, a few of which include:
Price
The main reason why millions of homeowners choose vinyl siding for their homes each and every years is that it’s simply cheaper than other options. It’s cheaper to purchase, cheaper to install and even cheaper to maintain over the years. This makes it the perfect option for the homeowner on a budget. Compared to this material, wood and especially brick siding can quickly add up in price.
Ease of Maintenance
Your siding is designed to protect your home from the elements. Therefore, it’s easy to imagine wood swelling with the rain and the mortar between bricks slowly eroding. These are expensive issues that require a great deal of care and attention if you want to avoid them, and expensive repairs if they’re overlooked. Vinyl options don’t face these problems, and barring some accidents, can last as long as your house is still standing.
Appearance
Brick and wooden houses can be beautiful, of course, but homes sporting vinyl simply have many more options to choose from when it comes to color, style and even shape. Furthermore, the color doesn’t need to be touched up as it would with painted wood or brick materials.
After taking all of this into account, answering the question of “is siding better than wood or brick?” is a simple matter. Vinyl siding has some serious benefits over these other siding materials, and can’t be matched my other materials on the market.
