Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is the most popular siding material in all of Texas. Offering customers a fantastic update in appearance, long-wearing color, low-maintenance upkeep, and a low price, it’s no wonder that the material is so common—it’s hard to pass up such a good deal!

Vinyl is produced in many different colors, ranging the spectrum from bright to neutral and everything in between. All of these colors are remarkably long wearing thanks to vinyl’s thorough pigmentation. During production, the color is spread throughout the entire batch of vinyl which is then pressed into the appropriate shape. As a result, the color is continuous throughout the product, not only a coating on the outside. When vinyl scratches, the color beneath is the same as that above, making marks difficult to see. Thanks to its synthetic manufacturing, vinyl can take on almost any shape desired and requires little in the way of upkeep and cleaning.

Vinyl exteriors are a fantastic choice for all home and building owners. If you are building from the ground up, renovating, or remodeling, it is wise to consider installing such a high-quality, low-cost material. Whatever look you are going for, vinyl can be produced to make it possible. It is difficult to detect damage to the material and the planks do not peel, rot, or split. They require little cleaning, and what is needed is easy to do, requiring nothing but a wet rag.

HISTORY OF VINYL SIDING

First brought to market in the 1950s, vinyl siding was touted as a high-tech, synthetic alternative to aluminum siding, which was extremely popular at the time. While the original version of the product had much room for improvement, it was nonetheless a success and widely appreciated by home and business owners. Two decades later, in the 1970s, vinyl had improved to such a point that it no longer suffered its inequities of the past and subsequently became even more popular. Vinyl dominated the market until James Hardie introduced fiber cement in the same niche. Even then, however, the low-cost beauty of vinyl drew many customers. As vinyl manufacturers increased their style options, the product developed a consistent and enthusiastic fan base.

Vinyl is one of the most well-loved siding materials in all of the United States. The construction market is saturated with a huge selection of vinyl products, and they vary widely in their caliber. When it comes to vinyl, a good rule of thumb is that the thicker a product is, the higher its caliber is. High caliber vinyl planks tend to run around 0.6 mils. while lower-caliber vinyl planks stand at roughly 0.3 mils. Be sure to check on the thickness of your vinyl, as this will give you a good sense of how well it will last over time. Most manufacturers offer a wide range of calibers in their vinyl lines. This allows them to provide for clients all across the spectrum in terms of budget.

Vinyl’s caliber, longevity, and thickness vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Another item that varies is the presence or absence of UV coating. Most manufacturers will include some level of protective coating as a standard feature, though this is not true of all. UV rays can cause drying and cracking, so a protective coating is a key feature that increases longevity. As a general rule, you can assume that higher-caliber materials will offer greater levels of UV protection.

TYPES OF VINYL SIDING

Vinyl is offered in many shapes, sizes, colors, and thicknesses. Some of the most common shapes that the material is produced in include vinyl planks (resembling natural wood), brick, and stone. With the help of new manufacturing technologies, these vinyl replications are highly aesthetically pleasing. With its unique system of all-through pigmentation, vinyl also lasts a very long time and does not require the aftermarket cost or effort of painting or staining. If you are looking for a stand-out appearance, vinyl’s vibrant offers may be just the thing you are looking for.

One of vinyl’s most highly recommended features is its remarkable aesthetic adaptability. If your building is beginning to look a bit shabby and rough around the edges, a new layer of vinyl siding can bring it back into top condition before you know it. Vinyl is remarkably easy to work with can be installed directly on top of your existing exterior, be it stone, brick, cement, wood, or anything else.

INSULATED VINYL SIDING

Another of vinyl’s major recommenders is a specific version of the material—namely foam-backed, insulated vinyl. This unique product provides many additional benefits to the already-remarkable vinyl product. With a vinyl plank on one side and foam backing on the other, this material offers increased durability and greater insulation, which provides gains in energy efficiency and reductions in outside noise. Many homeowners who install foam-backed vinyl siding see gains in energy efficiency upwards of 30%. Many also report a significant decrease in outside noise, which is particularly helpful if you happen to live in an urban area with higher volume, such as passing cars or rowdy passersby. While the cost of foam-backed vinyl siding is something of a costly purchase upfront, most see returns on the investment in terms of decreased utility costs for heating and air conditioning.

Some of foam-insulated vinyl’s many advantages are:

The basic durability of non-insulated vinyl
Increase in energy efficiency and lower utility bills
Reduction in noise pollution
