So why is vinyl siding so popular among homeowners nationwide? It's virtually maintenance free. The color does not peel, blister or flake, so there is never a need to paint. Ever. It also offers great curb appeal with more trim options, more styles and more colors than ever before. Plus it still offers the lowest total installed cost, as well as the lowest life cycle cost over the life of the home, making it a great value. Add to that its ability to withstand high winds (certified up to 90 mph or higher) as well as heat in excess of 100°F and sub-zero cold, plus an ability to resist termite infestation and moisture buildup, and you've got a vinyl siding product that's attractive to many homeowners.
The Purpose Of Exterior Siding
Aesthetically, what is on the exterior of your house creates the first and often lasting impression of your home. Functionally, the siding material protects your house's structure from the elements, mainly rain and wind driven moisture. Siding should be selected based on cost, aesthetics, durability, maintenance requirements, and environmental impact. Oak Ridge Siding and Seamless Gutter offers a wide selection of exterior cladding products.

| Insulated Vinyl Siding |
| A line of vinyl siding products fused to a foam backing material, to create an all-in-one siding and insulation system. It's energy efficient and highly impact resistant with solid support behind the entire siding surface. By adding an additional foam insulation layer, the R-values of exterior walls are increased by R-2.9 to 3.5 depending on the profile, helping to save on heating and cooling costs. The foam is made from environmentally friendly polystyrene, which has thermal expansion properties nearly identical to vinyl siding, and moderate vapor permeability to allow the siding to breathe. Unlike conventional siding, the foam offers protection against dents and other impact damage, allowing the siding to remain aesthetically pleasing, functional, and lasting. The system provides the thermal insulation benefits of foam sheathing in a format that enhances the appearance and performance of vinyl siding, including sound control properties. |
| Fiber Cement |
| For homeowners that want the look of wood but don't want the hassles and costs associated with it, fiber-cement siding may be a satisfactory alternative. Fiber-cement siding is more durable than wood, termite-resistant, water-resistant and non-combustible. It is composed of cement, sand, and cellulose fiber. The cost of fiber cement siding is more than vinyl and less than stucco and wood siding. Unless top coat is applied in the factory, siding may need to be painted every four or five years. Fiber-cement siding is appropriate for hot and humid climates because it is resistant to rot, fungus and termite infestation. It also has good weathering characteristics, strength, and impact resistance. |
| Engineered Wood Siding |
| Here is a very affordable way homeowners can leave a lasting impression from the curb. With our scientifically advance engineered wood siding, homeowners can get the look of real cedar, plus the added durability and weather resistance that comes with a highly technical wood-looking product. The rich detail, deep textures and warm beautiful look of this engineered wood siding give every home that look of real craftsmanship. And as an added "plus," homeowners who have engineered wood siding installed don't have to worry about dealing with the constant upkeep of painting real wood siding, or have to worry about the siding rotting, cracking or being infested by termites. |
| Aluminum Siding |
| The precursor to vinyl, aluminum siding was first marketed about 50 years ago as a long-lasting, maintenance-free alternative to traditional sidings such as clapboard or wood shingles. Since aluminum is rot-proof, waterproof, fireproof, corrosion-resistant, impervious to termites and able to withstand years of exposure to the elements, the siding itself will last virtually indefinitely if simply left alone. Aluminum is a painted metal and may require painting over time. An additional consideration of aluminum is that it is susceptible to denting and scratching. |
