There are many elements of a beautiful and functional home exterior, and one is the siding. Siding, or wall cladding, is installed on the exterior of a home or building and provides a wide variety of aesthetic and protective benefits.
Here are four benefits of siding:
- Curb Appeal – People love siding for the visual interest it provides. There are all kinds of different materials available, and you can choose from many colors. You can also decide whether you want horizontal, vertical, or diagonal siding to give your property a unique look. With your siding finally installed, your property will have a more finished appearance.
- Weather Protection – Siding is effective at creating a barrier between the structure and the elements. The overlapping panels help your home or building to shed water, and siding also offers excellent wind protection.
- Pest Prevention – Because siding acts as a barrier between the structure and the outdoors, it helps to keep out pests. You might think that wood siding would not be much of a deterrent, especially for termites or carpenter ants, but as long as it’s stained or painted your siding will be sealed and effective.
- Energy Efficiency – Siding helps to insulate your property, reducing heat transfer and keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. That’s good news for your HVAC system and your utility bills.
