Why Vinyl (Not Wood) Is the Real King of Siding Aesthetics

Vinyl graces the sides of millions of American homes, and affordability is perhaps the main driving force behind its immense popularity. However, its good looks should also receive the same level of credit.

If you ask Krech Exteriors, vinyl siding leads the way in aesthetics because its beauty is:

Versatile

It has been the favorite alternative to wood, allowing it to mesh with any home design. It can pass the eye test; it can convince even the most discriminating observers. Vinyl doesn’t only look like wood; it also feels like it. Available in numerous textures, it can emulate the notable characteristics of genuine lumber to the last detail.

Moreover, vinyl products come in virtually countless colors. It also lends itself to vertical and horizontal applications, nailing the siding style your home exterior demands.

Low Maintenance

Carefree upkeep is part of vinyl’s charm as well. In fact, it’s what gives it the edge over real wood. Its protective and arresting finish holds up over time because it permeates the material, eliminating the need for periodic scraping and painting. Plus, it’s impervious to common pests like termites.

While it’s immune to decay, it requires regular cleaning to keep it looking good. Use soapy water and a stiff-bristle brush to rid it of filth. Also, be on the lookout to address grime buildup more quickly.

Enduring

It’s may technically be plastic, but it’s the exceptionally durable kind. It ages gracefully because it can withstand the effects of moisture, hail, wind and extreme temperatures. If you like a siding material that lives long and stays young (like anyone else), vinyl is an excellent choice.
