Siding
Types of Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding, made up of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, has grown tremendously popular in recent years. There are many different and textured looks it can take on while also providing many benefits. It comes in a variety of styles, so there is something for everyone. Whether you are looking for siding to build a new home or reconstructing an old building, vinyl siding is an excellent choice for both aesthetic preferences and longevity. At Campbell’s Quality Exteriors, we offer these high quality services so your house can be both protected and looking nice.
Lap Vinyl Siding
Lap siding is one of the most common and earliest created types of vinyl siding. There are two main types: Traditional Lap Siding and Dutch Lap Siding.
Traditional: This is a simple siding that can fit those who like both modern and traditional styles. It is common for homes but also for corporate buildings. It consists of horizontal panels that overlap each other, creating a layering look to the building.
Dutch: This type of siding adds more dimension than traditional. If you prefer a siding that adds more texture but still consists of horizontal panels, this siding is for you. The face of the panel is flat but it has beveled edges that create a groove in between each.
Whether you prefer the traditional or the dutch style of vinyl siding, it is sure to offer ample protection and unique style to your home.
Shake Vinyl Siding
Traditional Shake: Traditional shake aims to give the exterior more character, while still maintaining a cleaner look in comparison to staggered shakes. They give off the appearance of real wood shakes without compromising the strength and durability of them. Traditional shakes have a straight edge unlike the other forms.
Cedar Shake: Cedar shake mimics the look of real cedar wood. The edges are not perfectly uniform, giving the house a more authentic look compared to traditional. This is a great option if you prefer a more “lived in” look.
Staggered Shake: Staggered shake consists of shingles that vary in length and width, giving the house a staggered look. It creates more visual interest and curb appeal. This type of siding is most commonly used for coastal or vacation homes.
Scalloped Vinyl Siding
If you prefer a more decorative option of siding instead of the linear designs, then scalloped siding might be the perfect fit for you. It consists of half round panels to give a unique look to the building. This is a type of siding to consider when you want to increase curb appeal. It also comes in different shapes and sizes depending on exactly what you want.
Log Vinyl Siding
Log siding is very popular for cabins or homes that you want to feel cozy. It mimics the look of log cylinders with profiles that have a round face instead of laying flat against the house. These are great for cabins in colder climates because of the extra insulation vinyl provides.
Our authentic-looking log vinyl siding creates the rustic feeling of a log cabin with all the durability and longevity that vinyl siding provides. Wood has a tendency to get worn out over time and can be subject to harsh wear and tear due to weather or other elements, such as insects or termites.
Elevate your home or cabin with this natural-looking siding option that has all the character of wood panelling with little hassle and a longer, and more durable, lifespan.
Board and Batten Vinyl Siding
This is among one of the most popular types of vertical siding. This style alternates between wide and narrow boards, adding dimension and a sense of rustic but modern. It consists of wide boards that are then sealed with narrow battens to cover the seams. Putting the batten overtop gives the house a three dimensional look. This is a great siding to use for farmhouses that you want to add a modern touch to.
Vertical Vinyl Siding
Instead of the horizontal panels that characterize all the previous types of vinyl siding, vertical siding has panels that run up and down. This type of siding can be used for commercial buildings or homes that want to take on a more modern style. Adding this siding can also make the building look more sleek and tall if that is what you are looking for.
Benefits
Each of these vinyl sidings take on a different look depending what aesthetic you want to achieve, but they all have similar benefits that make any of them an optimal choice.
Versatility
As you can see from the numerous types of vinyl siding, there is so much versatility with texture, shape, size, color, profile, and overall look. No matter what you are looking for, you will be able to find something in vinyl that fits your customized needs.
Durability
One of the most important benefits of vinyl siding is its durability. The material is strong and is resistant against weather, wear and tear, scratches, etc. It creates the best of both worlds having a siding that not only looks good, but can withstand all the elements.
Low Maintenance
Because vinyl siding is so durable, it makes it easier to maintain. Not having to constantly clean, repair, or paint makes it much more manageable.
Energy Efficient
Because vinyl siding provides a good amount of insulation, it will reduce the amount of energy you are using. It will also bring your bill cost down because of it.
Cost-Effective
The upfront cost of vinyl is less than other materials such as brick, wood, or cement. The siding will also be more cost-effective in the long run, as you are not needing to get it repaired or replaced often.
Increased Curb Appeal
When the outside of a home looks high quality, homeowners are going to value it much more. Knowing that it is in good condition and won’t fall apart will naturally attract more people when they look at it.
