Siding

Siding is the outer covering or cladding of a house meant to shed water and protect from the effects of weather. Siding may be formed of horizontal boards or vertical boards (known as weatherboarding in many countries), shingles, or sheet materials. Siding may be made of wood, metal, plastic (vinyl), masonry , or composite materials. Siding also plays a major factor in the overall appearance of your home, which in turn affects its value.

Wood Siding

Wood siding in overlapping horizontal rows or "courses" is called clapboard. Wood siding can also be made of naturally weather-resistant woods such as redwood or cedar. Wood shingles or irregular cedar "shake" siding was used in early New England construction, and was revived in Shingle Style and Queen Anne style architecture in the late 19th century. Wood siding is very versatile in style and can be used on a wide variety of homes in any color palette desired. Wood is a moderately renewable resource and is biodegradable. Wood siding can provide minimal insulation and structural support compared to thinner cladding materials. Wood clapboard is often imitated using vinyl siding or uPVC weatherboarding. Wood siding requires a fair amount of maintenance such as painting siding, while vinyl siding requires virtually no maintenance at all. Wood siding is milled in various patterns for both horizontal and vertical application. Wood siding is usually, but not always, applied over solid sheathing and a layer of building paper. Wood siding is manufactured in a variety of types such as shake, clapboard, singles or lap. Wood siding should be installed over a moisture barrier and some contractors suggest priming the back of the wood and its sides to prevent water from seeping into the wood. Wood siding offers a very beautiful look to a home. Wood siding has been used for hundreds of years, and seeing a 300-year-old clapboard house is testimony to the durability of wood when properly maintained. Wood siding is available to install on your house in three forms: boards, shingles, or shakes. Wood siding is easy to repair should, for some odd reason, it becomes damaged. Wood siding is the most widely used residential siding.

Aluminum Siding

Aluminum and steel siding systems look similar to horizontal wood siding but don't require as much maintenance. Aluminum siding can be painted, and experts recommend oil-based paint over latex.
