If your house’s exterior is starting to fade or has been extensively chipped away by weather conditions, it may be time to look into the benefits of vinyl siding. Not only is vinyl siding one of the cheaper replacement options for your home, it also requires little to no maintenance, giving you more time and freedom.

Knowing what vinyl siding entails
Vinyl siding is made from poly vinyl chloride resins combined with various other materials such as stabilizers, color and impact modifiers. The end result is a durable, low-maintenance product that is highly customizable. This is particularly attractive for homeowners who are looking for a change in color.

The production of vinyl siding allows homeowners to choose a custom color. Though this is also possible with fiber cement siding, the difference lies in how the color is applied. Whereas fiber cement siding applies the paint to the surface, vinyl siding implements the color into the mixture. This means that the color is integrated into the pieces. This lowers maintenance, since it does not require repainting. It also provides the added benefit of minimizing cosmetic damage. When dirt accumulates on the surface, all that is necessary is a good hosing down.

Prodigy siding offers energy-saving insulation with its vinyl siding. This will ensure that your home looks its best on the exterior and keeps your rooms at a comfortable temperature on the interior.
