Is the siding on your home damaged and wasting away? Are you looking for a way to ensure that your home will be protected from any storm? Vinyl siding is a plastic material that is used to waterproof and protect the foundation of a home. It is more durable and protective than other types of siding. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, vinyl siding has increasingly become the leading exterior material for homes over the years. Vinyl siding not only helps in protecting your home, it also has many other benefits. Let’s discuss five of the many advantages of vinyl siding. 

1. Cost-effective 

Upgrading to vinyl siding may seem like a costly investment at first, but you will reap many benefits from the transition over time. Vinyl siding protects your home, and it is energy efficient by cutting utility costs within your home. Heat can be lost within a home due to the poor insulation of wood or metals. By using vinyl siding provides better insulation, reducing heat transfer.

2. Enhances curb appeal 

Adding vinyl siding to any home provides it with a clean, fresh, new look. Vinyl siding increases the overall look of your home, causing neighbors and visitors to rave over the beauty of the new siding. It also holds up better over time, creating less of a chance of fading and other damage. If you are looking to put your home on the market now or in the future, vinyl siding has also been found to increase your rate of return by 80% because of its looks and overall value.

3. Low maintenance 

Once installed, vinyl siding is very low maintenance. Vinyl siding never needs to be painted, caulked, and is unlikely to warp or crack over time because of its durability. Depending on your siding thickness, it can last many years with very low maintenance problems. It is weather-resistant and waterproof, allowing for little no water damage over time, helping to eliminate mold buildup overtime. 

4. Versatile

Vinyl siding has virtually endless styles and colors to choose from; you can customize your siding as much as you’d like. Some of the different styles include shakes, scallops, horizontal, vertical lines. Vinyl siding also comes in a variety of different thicknesses, so you can choose how long you would like it to last. 

5. Eco-friendly 

Not only does vinyl siding provide protection and beauty, but it also is better for the environment. It has been found that vinyl siding has 79% less of an impact on global warming than other siding material. This type of siding also helps reduce waste disposal because it can be recycled. Research also shows that 99% of the scrap can be reused or used in other products
