Here is a list of a few options that you have in vinyl siding.
- Board and Batten Vinyl siding is a rustic looking finish to vinyl siding, this vinyl siding is made to look like cedar boards that once covered older homes. This rustic style has wide and narrow cedar boards that alternate between the width of the siding. This is a good choice for someone that wants to restore the look of older homes but still want the hassle free convenience of having vinyl siding.
- Liquid Vinyl Siding is another good choice if you are wanting a exterior that needs almost no maintenance. This type of siding is almost like paint but is made of the same products of regular siding. The benefit of this type of vinyl siding is that it reflects heat which save on energy bills. Another good thing about liquid vinyl siding is that it is way more durable then regular paint, and very weather resistant. This is good for places that have extreme differences in temperature during the seasons.
- Seamless Vinyl Siding are similar to regular siding but they do not have seams, seams are where one piece of siding stops in the middle of the wall and another one starts. The visual of this is minimal at first but over time due to the elements this separation can become more visible and end up looking poor. Seamless vinyl siding is generally made to order, this means that you give the manufacturers the dimensions of the walls that are going to be covered and then they make the pieces to fit. This is a great way to get rid of those seams that can make your siding potentially look bad.
- Solid Core Vinyl siding is a great choice if you are wanting a little extra protection from the elements. This type of vinyl siding has a solid foam core that allows the siding to be put up perfectly flat. This creates a more consistent look with the siding and also offers a extra R-value for your insulation.
- Vinyl shake siding is another option similar to the Board and batten type of vinyl siding. This is used on homes where the owners want a different feel then most other houses. Vinyl shake siding is really hard to distinguish between real shade because of the look that is made at the manufacturing plant. Some home owners even use this type of vinyl siding with other types of siding to make the home look even more unique. Pairing this with a stone looking vinyl siding, or brick vinyl siding. This gives the home a more original look, and makes the shake look of the siding to appear even more real.
- Traditional Vinyl siding is a great choice because it lasts longer then most other exterior wall finishes. You can get vinyl siding in many different colors, and textures. Vinyl siding is also a good alternative to other products because it doesn't rot, and will not be damaged by termites. It can also stand up against big differences in temperature.
