Durability

Of course exterior cladding has to look good for today's discerning homeowners, but it also has a vitally important job to perform — protecting a home from the elements.

With the ability to withstand high winds (certified up to 110 mph or higher) and a composition that resists heat, cold and moisture, vinyl siding retains its great looks over time.

Vinyl siding never needs paint. Ever. The only maintenance it will need is a simple wash with a soft cloth and garden hose to keep it looking great, a feature today's strapped-for-time homeowners really appreciate!

Unlike some other exterior cladding, vinyl siding provides exceptional rainscreening performance that reduces accumulation of water that can reach the underlying water-resistive barrier. This benefit has been recognized by the International Residential Code and International Building Code, giving vinyl siding a significant advantage over other exterior claddings that do not vent (drain) moisture.
