The right siding can dramatically boost your home's appearance.

Vinyl siding can give your home a distinctive style and unique character that appeals to both homebuyers and homeowners. Any look, from historic to contemporary, can be achieved with vinyl siding.

Vinyl and other polymeric siding have the widest array of profile offerings of any other exterior cladding, including:

 Ample Color Options: 
Vinyl and other polymeric siding are available in a wide range of solid and variegated colors, including bold, rich tones like barn reds, hunter and sage greens, deep blues and more.

 400+ colors are certified to meet ASTM standards for color retention, so you can be sure your chosen shades will resist major color changes in a variety of climates.

Siding has an important job to perform - protecting a home from the elements.

 Vinyl siding is up to the task, withstanding harsh weather conditions that can damage other types of siding. Certified vinyl siding can endure high winds of up to 110 mph or higher, protecting your home from storms and extreme weather.

 Vinyl siding is also resistant to moderate heat, cold, and moisture. This means that it can handle the seasons of temperature and humidity without warping, cracking, or rotting. As a result, vinyl siding will retain its great looks over time, even in challenging climates.

Vinyl siding never needs paint. Ever. The only maintenance it will need is a simple wash with a soft cloth and garden hose to keep it looking great, a feature today's homeowners really appreciate!

 Vinyl and other polymeric siding offer all the character and charm of wood siding without maintenance worries, rotting, splitting or insect damage.

 The value-added advantages of vinyl siding include its low total installed cost, fast installation, and long-lasting durability with little maintenance.

Today's vinyl siding, the most popular choice for exterior cladding in the United States and Canada, delivers recognized environmental benefits to help make and keep homes green.

 Throughout the processes of manufacturing, transportation, installation, service life and waste management, vinyl siding scores well on tough environmental measures.

 Vinyl siding has the potential to contribute to achieving more points than other exterior cladding in the leading green building certification programs including the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED® for New Construction and LEED® Homes Rating Systems and the ANSI approved ICC 700 National Green Building Standard™.

What's the best way to prove a product will perform as promised? Independent testing. It's why the Vinyl Siding Institute (VSI) established the VSI Product Certification Program.

 Administered by Architectural Testing, Inc. of York, PA, the program allows manufacturers to certify with independent, third-party verification that their products meet or exceed the testing requirements specified in the industry standard for quality - ASTM D3679.

In addition, manufacturers can certify their product colors meet the ASTM D6864 or D7251 standards for color retention, so you can be sure the vinyl siding you select will resist major color changes in a variety of climates.

 Another key test of quality is how long manufacturers are willing to warrant their products. Warranties offered by vinyl manufacturers typically last a lifetime and can be transferred to the next owner.

Safe homes use fire-safe claddings, which include vinyl siding. Why does vinyl siding provide good fire performance? It is composed mainly of polyvinyl chloride, more commonly known as vinyl or PVC. Due to its chlorine base, vinyl siding does not ignite quickly and is inherently flame-retardant.

Exterior cladding is involved in only a fraction of all residential fires. According to the National Fire Protection Agency, only 4 in 100 house fires start on the outside of a structure and fewer than 2 of 100 house fires originate with the exterior wall surface.

Additionally, vinyl meets the stringent National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements. The NFPA Electrical Code recognizes the strong fire-safe characteristics of vinyl through its approved use as a residential wiring insulator. Millions of homes have been wired using safe vinyl-sheathed electrical systems for decades.

Vinyl siding is perfectly suited for historic renovation. In fact, advances in technology have made vinyl siding an ideal choice for historic restoration projects.

Vinyl siding is now available in a wide selection of trim, period colors, and other historic building elements created to match specific historic periods and styles.

The carefully designed and engineered panels so closely replicate the natural look of clapboard that even close up they're difficult to distinguish from real wood. And special trim and accessories are specifically designed to match architectural styles.

It's no surprise that in community after community, vinyl siding has been upheld as in line with historic restoration standards. Best of all, vinyl siding offers all the character and charm of traditional wood siding at a greater, long-lasting, low maintenance value.
