TOP 6 ALTERNATIVES TO VINYL SIDING

Alternative to vinyl siding: There are many types of siding that you can install on your house. Some may be more suited for a particular home than others, but all will add value and improve curb appeal with their differing features – from the color or design to how durable they are.

In this article, we’ll cover six options, vinyl among them being one popular choice because it’s affordable yet still provides good visual appeal (plus its durability makes repairs easier if anything happens).

Why not use Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding comes with its pros but also some cons. It’s important to know what you’re getting into before making this choice for your house because it can be harmful over time if not installed correctly or taken care of properly, like any other material on our homes. Here are just a few reasons why homeowners may want something else:

Not sustainable – Many people today consider sustainability when designing or upgrading their homes, which is good news since many manufacturers use recycled materials in production.

Cracking and Warping – Vinyl siding is prone to warping and cracking – depending on the climate of where you live, it may be more susceptible in areas that experience hot temperatures throughout the year. A cold environment can lead your vinyl louvers towards fractures or cracks over time if they’re not properly cared for, with proper maintenance routines performed every six months during winter months when there’s less sun shining down onto them due to changeable weather conditions, which cause ice buildup.

Moisture Problem – When moisture gets trapped behind the siding, it can cause rot and mold to grow. This may be an issue with how you install your vinyl – if there isn’t a foam backing, then any water penetrating into cracks will stay there forever because nothing else touches these spaces but air. Mold also likes dark places so make sure all.

Best Alternative to vinyl siding

There are various options for siding, but if you’ve chosen board and batten or dutch lap, there’s no need to worry about material selection because they come with all six best qualities listed above. Fiber cement does not reflect heat like real stone can, so it will keep your house warmer in winter without having any negative effect on insulation values; stucco requires less frequent finishing steps (which saves money) while still looking good year-round – plus, this type includes color pigments that match most natural stones. If installing brick gives more curb appeal than aluminum foil, who cares? As long as its appearance matches what was installed before.

Fiber Cement

Fiber cement has recently become more popular than ever before. It might be a bit on the pricey side, but it’s still affordable for many people and comes with tons of benefits, like its durable Material that won’t burn or rot as vinyl can–and this type also resists termites. People who live in high wind areas should consider fiber cement durability too; plus, you get protection against 150 mph winds thanks to our tough tile cladding system (which looks great by experiment).

Stucco

Stucco siding is popular in the southwestern United States because it works well in warm, dry climates. The Material has a distinct look, so you can add character to your home no matter what type of house boasts this beautiful style. It’s made from sand cement water lime mixed into one solid piece that will last through time if installed correctly by our team at Legacy Services LLC, which doesn’t typically install stache since we focus primarily on providing services for Pennsylvania residents but may be available elsewhere depending upon demand.

Faux Stone

We all love a good hometown look, but when it comes to prices and sustainability, we’re not so sure about the stones. If you want an affordable alternative or prefer something greener than fiber cement siding, the engineered stone may be your answer.

Bricks

Though brick exteriors are often considered one of the most durable, labor-intensive, and expensive options for home siding today, it’s not impossible to find alternatives that can be just as attractive. Brick veneers may come at an increased price due to their durability, but they also have high resistance against natural elements, so you’ll never need painting or staining again. Some people prefer other materials, such as vinyl Railings alongside wood shakes/stays, so let us help point out what would work best based on your design style. Bricks offer great historic appeal appealing, both aesthetically and historically. 

Aluminum

Aluminum siding is often the more affordable choice, but it may not last as long. Other types of materials would also help your home look better and increase its curb appeal over time- so if you’re interested in learning about what replacement options there are for aluminum or want some general information on how this product works with homes like yours, then please feel free contact us today.

Wood

If you want a house that will stand the test of time, consider wood siding. With this Material comes rich and classic looks with natural beauty unmatched by any other type in today’s marketplace – all while providing long-lasting appeal for many generations down future memory lane. There are three different types: shake (which resembles an old photo), shingle(with little squares), or horizontal lap ones; they can provide your home not only add curb appeal but also make it more aesthetically pleasing when compared side-by-side.
