Different Types of Vinyl Siding
Deciding what style of siding to install on your home is a big decision that will impact its look and curb appeal for many years to come. Many variables go into choosing the correct siding for your home, including the texture, width of planks, colour, and type of insulation.
There are four most popular varieties in Vancouver:
- Vertical vinyl siding (board & batten, vertical panels);
- Horizontal vinyl siding (traditional lap, dutch lap, and beaded styles);
- Vinyl shingles and shakes;
- Insulated vinyl siding.
Vertical Siding
As the name suggests, vertical panels installation is attached to the facade of your home vertically rather than horizontally. Accordingly, vertical siding installation requires another lath for attachment. In the case of ordinary siding, the lath is fixed vertically, and the siding is fixed horizontally.
If the house is covered with vertical siding, everything changes – horizontal lath and vertically located panels.
Horizontal Siding
The horizontal siding type is equipped with perforation intended for a condensate drain.
Joints between elements formed during the installation of horizontal and vertical siding panels are arranged with special frame profiles, installation of which is mandatory.
The colour of such a profile most often corresponds to the tint of the main panels. Many homeowners choose a contrasting version of the edging for installation.
Shingles and Shakes
Vinyl Shingles and Shakes are available in a wide variety of styles and patterns mimicking the texture of natural wood with none of its maintenance or offering a sleek modern design.
They add distinctive rustic character to the look of your Vancouver house and are mostly used on gables to accentuate the texture and colour. Some of the most popular styles are staggered edge, straight edge, and round shingles.
Insulated Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding also can be insulated. As a heat insulator, a polymer similar to polyurethane foam is applied to the reverse side of the material. The use of insulating material allows to minimize heat losses and makes the lining of brick or wooden houses of better quality.
Additionally, the insulated siding increases the sound insulation of the building. The facade material looks good and solid.
The use of panels with a thermal insulation spraying layer is not an alternative to separate insulation of the facade from the outside since the polymer layer does not exceed 38-40 mm.
