Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding has various benefits, and between all of them you really couldn’t go wrong with this option. Below are a few reasons why vinyl may be a good choice for you.
First of all, Vinyl has the ability to be amazingly flexible in color, style and design. Because it is manufactured and ready-made, you have a very large level of control over the specific design elements of your home. Additionally, vinyl siding can be significantly less expensive than other siding options, which translates to you giving attention to other projects within your home you’ve been wanting to accomplish.
From an environmental standpoint, vinyl is more energy efficient than other siding avenues, thus saving you money in that realm as well. While it doesn’t prove to have profound benefits as far as energy efficiency, it does make a fairly significant difference. If you find that your home has poor insulation, you may want to consider additional options for that specifically. However, vinyl siding will save you hundreds, if not thousands in terms of choosing that option in place of more expensive ones, and a few hundred in energy costs annually.
Another main benefit is that vinyl requires much less maintenance than other options, such as wood. As long as you spend some time annually for cleaning and maintenance of your vinyl siding, it should withstand the elements and general wear and tear for years.
Stucco
While Stucco is extremely popular in regions with higher temperatures such as Florida and Texas, it is a type of siding that is becoming more prominently used along with vinyl, wood and stone in the Northwest.
Stucco is a composite mixture of cement, water and sand which forms into a very durable yet viscous pre-texture which in turn can mold and solidify into a rough or smooth finish contingent upon your personal style and taste. However, Stucco is not to be spread onto the current surface of your home. It must be applied over wire framework in order to adhere to its surface. Once the stucco has dried over the wire surface it is almost impossible to remove, much like cement.
Since the process of solidification of stucco siding is accomplished in a similar manner to concrete, it is flexible in design and texture unlike other siding options. This can include design or texture from smooth seamless surfaces to curves, angels, circular formations, lines, etc. This is one of stucco’s more prominent advantages.
Another very attractive feature of Stucco Siding is its level of fire and noise-resistance. In fact, it has been proven to be noncombustible thus providing up to an hour of fire resistance if applied correctly. It is this same insulation quality that provides sound proofing. Stucco has been also confirmed to stand up against cold as well as hot temperatures, but it highly discouraged from installation during cold climates as the adhesive is weakened and inflexible.
Stucco is a great option if you are seeking siding that is not only aesthetically flexible but weather and noise resistant also. Give us a call today for more information and further benefits for this siding option.
Metal Siding
In addition to being an eco-friendly material, metal siding has energy efficient properties. The reflective nature of the panels keeps buildings cooler by reflecting the sun’s heat. Keeping your commercial, agricultural and residential buildings cool from the outside prevents the need to cool them from the inside thus saving energy and money over the long run with metal siding.
Metal Siding is designed and engineered specifically for durability and structural integrity. At Bully Line Construction, our training and years of experience in the field of siding and full-house construction give us the tools and knowledge to install metal siding for any of your residential or commercial needs.
