Top 4 Reasons Vinyl Siding Lasts

Vinyl Siding Uses Good Materials 

Vinyl siding first appeared on the market in the mid-20th century, though technology has improved the material tremendously since then. Originally, vinyl siding faded, cracked, or sagged, but the vinyl siding used on homes today is much different. Vinyl siding is made of capstock, a top layer, and substrate, the layer underneath capstock. Capstock and substrate are primarily made ​​out of polyvinyl chloride and resin. Capstock also contains titanium dioxide for UV light and coloration protection. Substrate contains limestone, to reduce cost and make manufacturing possible.

Vinyl Siding is Not Susceptible to the Elements 

A major benefit of vinyl siding is that it is resistant to the elements. Today’s vinyl siding fades very little in the sun, thanks to the titanium dioxide in the capstock, nor will it crack or bend in the sun or the cold. The titanium dioxide also allows for darker color options than in years past.  The only maintenance needed is a quick annual wash, and vinyl siding will appear brand new for years to come. 

Vinyl Siding Resists Moisture and Insects 

Another benefit of choosing vinyl siding is the resistance to moisture. Many homeowners struggle with moisture, especially with wood siding. Moisture can eventually cause warping, rotting, mold, and insect infestation, among other issues. A professional company with good experience in installing vinyl siding will ensure that moisture will never be an issue. Water rolls off vinyl siding easily, so homeowners should not be concerned about moisture-related issues.

Vinyl Siding is Durable

One of the most durable types of siding is vinyl siding. The panels are incredibly durable – strong enough to withstand major storms and weather conditions. Vinyl siding panels are also flexible, ensuring they won’t break when hit with hail or debris. Insulation is installed underneath the vinyl siding panels, which assists with the durability. As a bonus, this insulation will also help your home become more energy efficient.
