Replacement Siding & Windows in Richmond
Exterior siding has multiple purposes. Considering each of these will help you find the right option for your home. The most noticeable purpose is aesthetics. The material you choose for the exterior of your home largely influences its overall architectural style. Siding also protects your home from weather and improves insulation.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl has become popular due to its low maintenance, versatility, durability and low cost. It is manufactured in many colors and also available in different forms. These options include shakes, vertical panels, shingles, horizontal panels, fish scales, beaded designs and lap. Vinyl siding can also be made to look like other natural materials such as stone and shingles. Choosing energy efficient insulated siding is a simple and effective way to save energy and money over time.
Polymer Siding
Polymer siding is made from polypropylene resin. The most popular choice is shake and shingle cladding with a cedar pattern. These options can be used as a whole-house application or in accent areas. Polymer siding utilizes an injection molding process that enables the final product to have a highly defined three-dimensional pattern in a variety of styles, sizes and colors.
Fiber Cement
Fiber cement is a great option for those that love the look and warmth of natural wood but want something cheaper, more durable, and easy to maintain.
Two main types of fiber cement are available. The first is pre-coated or pre-painted. It comes out of the factory looking like it will on your house. The second type is painted or stained after it’s installed. It can be manufactured in almost any color or design you want. Fiber cement board is even available in lifelike textures such as imitation brick or stone.
Engineered Wood
Engineered wood siding looks almost exactly like the real thing, yet it’s made from composite materials. It actually contains real wood unlike wood-look vinyl or fiber cement. Various fibers and strands are combined to create an authentic looking finished product.
Engineered wood can also be customized to your personal preferences. It’s available in a wide variety of styles that mimic different species and stains. It looks like real wood and it’s created with a convincing texture.
Engineered wood holds up well to extreme temperatures, moisture, fire, and insects. It requires little maintenance and suffers very little from normal wear and tear.
