Why You Should Think About Climate When Choosing a Siding

Your new siding needs to be functional while also increasing your home’s curb appeal. There are a lot of considerations you need to think about when making your choice. In addition to price, color and texture, the climate is also an important factor you need to keep in mind. Hunterdon Roofing, Siding and Window Company is here to walk you through the different options.

Vinyl

Vinyl comes in a wide range of styles, colors and textures. Good-quality vinyl siding can last a long time no matter the climate. In colder and noisier areas, you can also have thicker vinyl siding to help insulate your home and lessen sound transmission. No matter how extreme the weather can be, you can expect this material to handle it. Be sure you don’t choose the cheaper variant; the siding will surely succumb to the heat and cold after a few years if you do so.

Stucco

It is a siding material consisting of a combination of sand, cement, lime and water. While stucco offers great home insulation, it has issues that prevent it from performing its best. It doesn’t handle moisture well, which is why it is not a suitable choice for homes situated in areas that see a lot of rain and snow.

Fiber Cement

Fiber cement siding is made of sand, cement and cellulose fibers. It is engineered to resist all kinds of weather, as well as fire, mold and pests. It boasts incredible durability; no wonder Hunterdon Roofing, Siding and Window Company offers this exceptional siding material. Apart from these benefits, James Hardie® fiber cement siding also comes with a 30-year limited warranty, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protecting your home against the elements.
