1st Choice Vinyl Siding

In the 1920s, while attempting to create a synthetic adhesive, a rubber scientist accidentally invented polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC was first used as vinyl siding in the 1960s and has become North America’s 1st choice in home exterior cladding. U.S. Census Bureau statistics show twice as many homeowners choose vinyl siding for their homes than any other material. The benefits of vinyl siding show through a lifetime of usage. It constantly changes with the times. Through testing and research it’s become safer and more efficient Durable. Vinyl siding is durable and strong, yet flexible. It’s resistant to extreme temperatures, high impact and strong wind-loads. Unlike wood, it’s not susceptible to termite infestation and it doesn’t corrode or rust. Versatile. Vinyl siding enhances a home’s curb appeal and value. There’s nearly 350 different colors certified for color retention. Its textures can emulate just about any exterior cladding product imaginable allowing for custom designs with few artistic restrictions. Energy Efficient. Vinyl siding is “green”; it’s energy efficient in its production and applications. Producing PVC uses less energy and emits less CO2 than many competing products, saving on fossil fuels. It’s more than 50% made from salt, one of the most plentiful natural resources on earth. Multiple life cycle analysis and studies conclude that PVC’s impacts on the environment are comparable to or lower than most alternatives. Economical. A Cost vs. Value Report in Remodeling Magazine says over 80 percent of the cost of vinyl installation is recouped by the homeowner. The cost of material and installation is much lower than competing products. Vinyl goes up much faster and easier. Just look at these comparisons.
