Taking care of your home not only means keeping it neat and clean. It also means doing home improvement projects that actually add value to it. In fact, many of aesthetically-based home improvement projects could actually increase home value if you combine your artistic sense with a measure of practicality. Take vinyl siding for example. It's a popular choice for many homeowners and for good reason. Here's why:
Vinyl sidings are cheap and environment-friendly options. Vinyl is a recyclable material that requires fewer resources to manufacture and none to maintain. They add value and beauty to your home as it improves the overall appearance of a home at a relatively affordable price. It lasts for an incredibly long time, so you can count on it to last or years to come.
Vinyl sidings come in many colors and styles. Color pigments mixed with PVC resins used in the manufacture of vinyl sidings result to deep, penetrating color that goes through the material and not just on the surface. This deep-penetrating action of color pigments masks scratches and other imperfections. Titanium dioxide and other chemicals used in the manufacture of sidings protect the material from fading or chalking despite damaging sun and harsh weather exposure.
Hassle-free maintenance is probably what sells many on installing vinyl siding. It virtually needs no maintenance after you've installed it. All it needs is an occasional washing with mild detergent. You can scrub it or spray it with water using power washers. Water won't damage sidings nor would detergents. It doesn't rust like most metal sidings would, nor does it crack or rot like wood sidings and doors do. Special features like perforations are excellent for preventing mold and mildew.
Vinyl sidings offer the best total dollar value option. Vinyl has grown to be the preferred synthetic material in construction. Because it's flexible, sturdy, and relatively easy to install, vinyl is used in many aspects of modern construction. On top of that, no other material is priced as cheap. Vinyl sidings easily saves you 25-50% off other alternatives.
Practicality of Siding Options
At a time when everyone is learning to appreciate the value of every dollar they spend, vinyl sidings offer an unbeatable value. Definitely not at the expense of aesthetics. Its flexibility, durability and hassle-free maintenance features is virtually unbeatable. No other siding material - not wood nor metal - offers the benefits vinyl siding does. Certainly no other option is quite as cheap for the value it gives. Because it adds value to your home along with other home improvement features, it can potentially reduce your homeowner's insurance rates. If you're looking for long-term savings, adding vinyl siding to your home is an investment worth making.
