While vinyl is the most commonly used siding material, it is not the only choice out there. You’ll also see siding made from wood, brick, and stucco, but vinyl is the most popular for a few different reasons. It is budget-friendly, easy to take care of, and versatile. Vinyl siding installation is still a considerable investment, so you’ll also want to know how durable it is compared to the other choices.
Thankfully, vinyl siding does hold up well to the elements. Professionally installed vinyl siding can stand up to cold, heat, and moisture, plus winds up to 110 mph. It does not need to be painted, although it can fade over time. Vinyl siding also resists twisting, warping, moisture, and insect infestations.
Vinyl siding can last for decades if it is properly maintained. Older homes might need siding replacement sooner, but newer vinyl siding materials are designed to last longer.
You can maintain your vinyl siding by cleaning it once a year with a cleaning solution made for this purpose. You can apply it with a long-handled soft bristle brush. Power washers can also do the job, but read the instructions first.
