How to choose the right Vinyl Siding

When you choose the right vinyl siding style, you should consider much more than simply choosing the right color. It is important to know that insulated vinyl siding is a good siding option for extreme weather conditions, choosing just the right siding for a particular house takes a little thought.

At US ROOFING Contractors located in Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah and Alabama, we give you some important tips to help you choose the right Vinyl Siding:

  

1. Color is important, of course, but several other factors must be considered as well. Among them are grain or pattern: Each has its advantages; a smooth texture looks clean and simple, but a wood grain or other texture can add so much to the look of a home. Ultimately, the decision should be based on the overall design concept for the home.

2. The size of the boards: Vinyl siding comes in a variety of sizes. A very popular style is the traditional barn look or barn style. This is achieved by alternating foot-wide boards with narrow boards. The effect is achieved by running the boards either horizontally or vertically. This is a choice that is dependent on the individual’s aesthetic vision for the home, and the choices available to the homeowner are almost limitless.

3. Style: The most common vinyl siding choice is the shingle style. But even here the homeowner has a choice. Vinyl shingles can be laid straight-edged for a smooth, uniform look, or they can be staggered, thus evoking a rustic, almost handmade feel. 

4. Vinyl siding color: Color is very personal and are dependent on the master plan for the home, but the homeowner is faced with an almost limitless selection of colors to choose from. Almost any color that the homeowner can imagine is available. The basic color palette is divided into four primary shades: warm earth tones, earth tones, reds, and blues. Within each of these broad categories there are a wide range of variations.

5. Once the pattern and the color have been decided, the next important choice is insulated or non-insulated: Insulated siding costs a little more, naturally, but the advantages far outweigh the added expense. Insulated vinyl siding will save a tremendous amount on the cost of energy both in heating and cooling a home; the energy savings generally equal the additional insulating cost after just 3.6 years, meaning that in less than four years insulated vinyl siding will have paid for itself.
