What is house siding?
Before we dive deeper into ColorPlus siding, let's first understand the basics. Just like your roofing, your siding acts like an outer layer of armor for your home. It provides exterior walls with protective covering that keeps out humidity and extreme temperatures. The siding also gives your home a curb appeal, which is important if you plan to sell in the future.
Commonly used siding materials include steel, engineered wood,and vinyl. Steel and engineered wood are popular for their durability, while vinyl requires meticulous installation to avoid damage.
Stucco, stone,and brick siding are also great options,but they can be heavy on the budget,weather in terms of installation or maintenance.
