Vinyl Siding in Victoria
Vinyl siding is a durable and very affordable material to have installed on your home. It first debuted in 1950 and is engineered predominantly from polyvinyl chloride resin.
Being environment-friendly and low maintenance helps it remain the most popular siding option for nearly 70 years. Vinyl sidings are extremely versatile in terms of appearance and serve as a substitute for many sidings as such wood.
Why should You Get the Vinyl Siding
Aside from being environment friendly and highly economical, the idea of vinyl can be enticing for a busy parent or a strenuous family, and here is why.
- Enhanced Curb Appeal. Vinyl sidings are manufactured with the color going all the way through the material. This allows the finishing product to sustain the curb appeal for a longer period. The panels look great even from a distance. It also has waterproofing properties so the material won’t rot, get scratched, or be flaked.
- Retained Colors and Variety. Because the color simmers through the panels, it is not likely to fade over time. It precludes the need for having to repaint your house every couple of years. Nearly all the color choices available exceed the industry standards in performance tests. Vinyl sidings also offer a wide variety of colors and styles. It can replicate nearly all of the style based sidings. You can choose from different textures and shapes and an extensive range of colors to go with them.
- Long-Lasting and Hard-wearing. It is one of the most durable siding options. It comes with waterproofing and is nearly unaffected by harsh weather conditions. Also, it can withstand rainfall and cloudbursts. It is also resistant to dents although we do not recommend hitting it with heavy objects since it’s not completely imperishable. If installed right, vinyl siding allows moisture to escape preventing any chances of molding over time.
- Low Maintenance and Environment Friendly. This is one of the best benefits of vinyl siding and a huge reason for its popularity. Its durable nature adds to the prospect of low maintenance. You would not have to worry about painting or scrapping because it withholds its appearance. You can just rinse the panels with water or use soap for obstinate soiling. Being able to be recycled makes the vinyl more environment friendly compared to other siding materials.
Styles of Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding has one of the most versatile styles. Homeowners usually put a lot of thought into the style of the sidings because it is the main appeal of a house. You can choose from a huge range of trim, texture, shape, and decorative accessories for the exterior siding. The following are the most popular styles of vinyl sidings.
- Horizontal Siding – is the most popular form of vinyl sidings. People usually use it as a replica of cedar wood siding and comes in horizontal panels. They can vary in thickness based on material. High-end boards are better in quality as compared to mid and low-end ones. Boards are straight and extend over to partly cover the one below them. Horizontal siding can fit with any with almost all house architectures and can be used with a combination with other siding styles.
- Vertical Siding – is a replica of centuries-old board and batten style. The boards are the wide section and battens are the narrow strips. You can either side your whole house with this style or combine it with horizontal sidings for visual interest. A lot of contemporary farmhouse designs pick up this style. The vertical style can add a modernized look to an old and outdated exterior. It can also visibly make the house look taller, thanks to the vertically running panels.
- Shingle and Shakes – many homeowners love carpentry and rustic look of wood shake sidings. While wood sidings are expensive, the look itself can be achieved with vinyl in an affordable range. You can either choose to install it as an accent or cover your whole house with it. You can choose from different shapes and colors of shake and shingles. While it’s not real wood, it doesn’t make it any less worth. If anything, vinyl is more durable since it won’t rot or get molded. Wood is also prone to insects while a cedar impression of vinyl isn’t. Unlike wood shakes and shingles, vinyl siding is low maintenance and will not require a rework or repaint after some years
- Insulated Vinyl Siding – is the standard of vinyl sidings. It is insulated by having robust foam insulation behind the PVC layer. It adds to the stiffness and sustainability of the siding by filling the vacant space behind the stepped profile. Insulated vinyl sidings add to the R-value, reduces thermal bridging, and increases sound insulation of the house. The material is flexible for any uneven types of walls. Other benefits are undebatable because they simply increase the durability of normal vinyl siding, also called hollow vinyl.
- Vinyl board and batten – is used to give older and outdated exteriors a modernized look. It mimics the centuries-old vertical sidings style that used wood as the primary material. The siding style consists of wide sections and narrow strips that are called board and batten respectively. Vinyl replicates the style and makes it more durable.
Color Option in Vinyl Siding
Since the color goes all the way through vinyl in manufacturing, the sidings have one of the most prominent looks. The colors look sharp and bright and can exceed all the standard tests for color retention and sustainability. The most common choices are woodlike colors that mimic conventional cedar and wood sidings. You can always consult the designers about what you are looking for and you will be able to find something that meets your requirements.
The range you can choose from is wide. Over 300 color choices combined with different styles of sidings allow you to be more expressive. Although the color retains for long periods, you can still choose to repaint the sidings with a different color of your liking whenever you want.
Vinyl Siding Installation
Vinyl sidings are one of the easiest sidings to install if you have the right equipment. Vinyl weighs less than wood or aluminum so it’s easier to carry around and work with. Rest assured, we do not recommend to go all-in by yourself if you do not have experience and proper equipment. Because, although it is easy to install, it might end up not well fitted. The main take away is that if you do not have any experience you might end up wasting the material.
If you do not own the equipment and have the experience of the work, you would be better of hiring a contractor that can do the job efficiently. If you are renovating your house, make sure you know the: material/style of existing sidings and know if the walls of your house are smooth or bumpy. Also, make sure you know the estimated area that you want to be covered. It will help you get the best quote possible.
