We Find an Ideal Solution for You
The right siding transforms your home’s appearance, improves energy efficiency, and provides lasting protection. Whether it’s time to refresh your home’s look or shield it from the elements, a siding makeover should deliver the perfect balance of style and function.
The right choice can significantly cut long-term maintenance costs while ensuring your home remains sturdy and beautiful for decades.With so many materials available—from the timeless beauty of wood to the durability and low maintenance of modern composites—it can be challenging to know which option is best.
In London, Ontario, homeowners face demanding weather conditions. Harsh winters bring heavy snowfalls, sub-zero temperatures, and lake-effect snow squalls, which can damage exterior surfaces over time. Freeze-thaw cycles and frequent rainfall add further challenges, making it essential to install siding materials that can withstand humidity, prevent water infiltration, and hold up against winter’s worst. Durable, weather-resistant siding not only protects your home but also helps improve insulation, keeping heating costs under control during the cold winter months.
At Ideal Siding® London, our experienced team is here to guide you through every step of the selection and installation process. We offer premium siding solutions designed to meet the demands of London’s climate, ensuring a smooth, cost-effective upgrade that safeguards your investment. Beyond protection, siding plays a crucial role in curb appeal. The right exterior can enhance your home’s character—whether in a tree-lined heritage neighborhood or a modern suburban development—adding modern flair or classic charm to complement its design. Plus, a siding upgrade can boost your home’s resale value, making it a practical investment that delivers lasting benefits.
Siding Types And Styles We Offer
It’s natural to feel daunted when starting a siding makeover – there are so many styles and materials to choose from. At Ideal Siding® London, we simplify the process by recommending options from industry-leading siding manufacturers that offer optimal performance and will match your home’s aesthetic perfectly.
Below are some of the most popular choices among London and Middlesex County homeowners. Each one is available in various colors, textures, and patterns, and offers unique advantages that protect your home’s structure from our region’s varying seasonal temperatures.
- Vinyl siding. With seamless installation and excellent weather resistance, this is a budget-friendly choice for safeguarding London homes against rain, snow and freezes. Its low-maintenance construction and moisture resistance contribute to its durability, preserving structural integrity and keeping it looking good for decades.
- Cedar siding. Cedar is the obvious choice for homeowners looking for eco-friendly siding from a renewable and biodegradable source.The unique cellular structure allows it to manage moisture effectively, provide efficient insulation, and maintain a comfortable environment inside your home. In addition to its natural beauty, cedar siding is inherently resistant to decay and insects and offers long-term protection against the elements.
- Aluminum siding. Coated with the latest protective finishes, aluminum siding forms a reliable barrier against moisture, which is crucial given London’s rainy and snowy weather. Lightweight yet durable, it offers lasting protection with minimal maintenance required. Aluminum siding also offers decent insulation properties, contributing to energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
- James Hardie®. Prized for its longevity and moisture resistance, fiber cement siding provides robust protection against London’s freezing winters. Its sturdy composition minimises the risk of issues with expansion and contraction. We recommend the industry-leading James Hardie® brand as it offers unmatched insulation, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature year-round.
- Engineered wood siding. Combining the beauty of wood with modern technology, engineered wood siding is perfect for protecting homes from London’s climate. Enhanced moisture resistance reduces the likelihood of rot and decay associated with traditional wood siding. Offering excellent insulation, it helps regulate indoor temperatures, improving energy efficiency while keeping your home comfortable and protected.
The right siding style enhances your home’s character, perfectly complementing both its architecture and the surrounding neighborhood, whether in a historic district or a modern suburb. From Victorian homes in Old North to modern designs in River Bend, we offer options that work perfectly in London’s diverse styles and climate.
Lap Siding

Siding Panels
Sleek and minimalist, siding panels work well for newer homes. Made from durable materials including aluminum or fiber cement, they provide a clean, modern finish. Vertical installation adds visual interest, while customisable textures and colors can complement your home’s aesthetic.
