Types of Exterior Siding

Choosing the Right Siding
When selecting siding, there are six basic issues to consider:
1. Water Resistance- Water-resistant types of siding will have longer life spans.
2. Ease of Installation- If you're installing the siding on your own, make sure it is within your skill set, requires no special tools, and creates no harmful dust when cut.
3. Energy Efficiency- Check the R-value rating for energy savings and understand what will be needed as far as insulation beneath the cladding.
4. Aesthetics- Your siding will be in full view as you come and go, so make sure it is beautiful to you.
5. Versatility- Make sure the siding has the versatility to meet the varied needs of your specific project. If there are aspects of your home's exterior that will make using a particular type of siding more challenging than others, make sure you understand what the added costs or necessary adjustments will be.
6. Durability- Does it have the strength to resist temperature shifts present in your climate? How does it stand up to everyday wear and tear?
