Types of Siding
Seamless siding is a unique product that produces a long
lasting protective finish to your house in "seamless" sections. Made
of steel, the sections of siding are produced right on-site from
roll stock in a special machine that cuts the finished product to
the exact measurements and contours of your house.
Aluminum is one of the metal sidings. It is more popular
than steel because exposed areas of steel tend to rust. Aluminum
siding comes in long panels with baked-on enamel finish that can be
smooth or textured. Aluminum may dent and depending on how high or
low the damaged panel is replacing it may be difficult. Aluminum is
a good heat insulator and is very waterproof.
Shingles are usually redwood, cedar or cypress. They are
smooth sawn and of uniform size and shape. They are applied from the
bottom up and overlap each other a bit as the next highest row is
applied. Some people prefer to have their shingles overlap in
various amounts to give a different look or texture. Shingles can be
applied in a single course, where all shingles are exposed to the
elements or a double course in which only the top layer of shingles
is exposed.
Stucco is very similar to plaster on an interior wall.
Stucco, like vinyl, is a durable siding. It is composed of sand,
water and cement. Today some stucco has an acrylic finish. In a
traditional stucco application, wire mesh is attached to the
sheathing and studs of the house. Two or three coats of various
stucco mixtures are then applied over the wire mesh. Finally, the
top coat of a stucco siding is applied with a smooth or textured
finish.
Vinyl siding comes in various lengths and widths. The
average width of panes is between 6 ½ inches to 10 inches. Standard
vinyl siding has 3 components: a nail hem at the top of the panel
where the slots are located, the face which is the exposed area of
the panel visible when installation is complete, and the buttlock,
which is located on the bottom of the panel and locks into the
previously installed panel. J-Channels and other accessories can be
functional or aesthetic or both. These accents can cover seams,
enclose eaves or overhangs, and provide an accent to the siding.
Today's vinyl sidings come with lifetime warranties. Often these
warranties are transferable if you sell your home. .
