Siding gives you a great way to add distinctive color and definition to your house exterior. There are plenty of options these days to help you create the perfect façade to improve your home’s curb appeal.
The vinyl siding produced today is formed from high-tech plastic and vinyl materials combined with modern manufacturing techniques that have turned vinyl siding into an exceptionally versatile and high-performing choice for cladding.
Vinyl siding is weather and insect proof, fade-resistant, and virtually indestructible under normal circumstances. It also remains one of the most cost-effective materials to protect your home, and it comes in a range of colors and designs, even wood grain patterns.
1. Overall Costs Are Less
2. It’s Incredibly Versatile
3. More Durable Than Other Siding
4. It’s Virtually Maintenance Free
5. Cuts Home Heating and Cooling Costs
While most people know why windows, siding and doors are important, they might not realize what soffit and fascia are and why they are equally as important for protecting your home from the elements.
Soffit is the exposed siding underneath your roof’s overhang. Since your soffit is located on the underside of your roof, it’s often not visible in terms of curb appeal.
However, soffit can still be seen when you’re close to the home and when you’re underneath it or at street level. Soffit is usually the same design and color as your home’s siding
Soffit is important because it has venting that helps keep a steady airflow between your roof and attic. You’re probably thinking, why do I want outside air in my home?
Your attic needs to be well ventilated or else moisture can build up causing mold to form. The last thing you want in your home is mold.
Aside from keeping moisture out, soffit helps release heat from your attic during the hot summer months.
Soffit also helps keep animals and insects out of your home. Bees and wasps love to nest up in soffit corners, so you need to keep an eye out for nests and keep them from invading.
Fascia boards are the long straight wooden boards that runs along the edge of the roof just below the shingles, both along the front and up the sides to the roof peak.
To protect these wooden fascia boards they are commonly covered with aluminum or vinyl facia board coverings.
Along the bottom edge of the roof, fascia boards are what your gutters are affixed to using nails or screws. Strong hanging gutters are extremely important and your fascia boards need to be protected from the elements to remain strong, and to be able to hold gutters up strong when full of rain water or ice.
Fascia coverings are also important because they are visible by all. If you want to maximize your home’s curb appeal, your fascia needs to look great and a durable vinyl covering is a good choice.
Vinyl is resistant to cracking, warping and rotting so it’s virtually maintenance-free. All you’ll need to do is clean it every once in a while.
Plus, you have more options with vinyl and can even choose wood grain finishes if you want the beauty of wood without the negatives.
Vinyl is the most energy efficient option as well because it’ll keep rain, snow, rodents and insects out of your home better than wood or aluminum.
