Material World: Vinyl Siding

Northface Construction does a wide variety of different siding installs on homes. Today we’re showcasing some vinyl siding. Vinyl siding can be a very versatile, and long-lasting product to use for your home’s exterior. A very common look we see for homes now is Modern Farmhouse, which can easily be imitated using the proper layout and coloring of vinyl siding. No need to spend more money on board and batten, or real barn wood for your re-design.

Vinyl siding is low maintenance and can carry a lifespan of 20 years or more. It’s very lightweight and easy to install. The versatility may surprise you in regards to types and colors of vinyl siding. It can imitate virtually any style of siding, like shingles, shakes, board & batten, cedar insulated siding, the list goes on.

As you can see in this week’s video, this beautiful blue siding is a custom color, which is definitely an option for anyone who wants that perfect color. The vinyl siding does come in at least six shades of every color. Colors that have been trending in 2019 include blue and grey hues, dark greys with white trim, and earthy rich tones like rustic reds, greens, and browns. In general, dark grey, tan, dark blue, grey, slate or white are extremely common and if you are putting new siding on a house you want to sell in a few years, choose a neutral tone like slate or stone, with white trim. That’s a timeless color combination that will never go out of style.

Benefits of Vinyl Siding

Low Maintenance

Maintaining your vinyl siding doesn’t take much. It resists mold, mildew, insects, and termites. Since the color is cast throughout the entire product, there will be no chips or need to re-paint the siding. To clean it a power washer, soft washer, or even a hose will work just fine!

Easy to Install

This product is very lightweight and comes in a very uniform shape. It’s very easy for us to install, which can save you on labor costs, and decrease your timeline of getting your siding done!

Cost-Effective

Considering the low maintenance costs, low installation costs, and a long warranty, vinyl siding is a great, cost-effective investment.

Environmentally Friendly

Vinyl siding has a much lower environmental impact than other types of siding, and can even be recycled.

Durable

Vinyl is virtually dent-resistant, weather-resistant, and insect resistant. You don’t need to worry about termites or other pests. It won’t warp or rot and is resistant to mold and mildew.

Beautiful Curb Appeal

With such a sleek, clean look, vinyl siding gives your home great curb appeal. Keeping it up with light washing every year can keep it looking brand new for decades!

Long-lasting Color

Since the color goes all the way through the material, it shouldn’t fade or dim over time, Vinyl siding tested to industry standards outperforms other types of material for color retention.

TONS of Style Options

The variety of options for colors, styles, textures, trim go on and on. You will be able to achieve the exact look you want for your home, without having to sacrifice any of your personal vision or style. Vinyl siding can make it happen!

Energy Efficient

Insulated vinyl siding can lower your heating and cooling costs by better insulating your home and keeps your home warmer during winter and cooler during summer.

Staying on Trend

Right now, contrasting bold and dynamic colors that combine neutral colors, mixed with bold accent colors remain on-trend for 2021. Richer colors trending include deep russet reds, forest green, navy, and dark grey. The trick to creating incredible curb appeal is to avoid using colors in the same palette. Instead, use siding colors that contrast each other, like black and white. You’ll be catching your neighbor’s eye for sure, and they may be shocked to know your modern farmhouse look came from vinyl siding!
