Vinyl vs. Fiber Cement Siding
HomeTech is an expert in the installation of both vinyl and fiber
cement siding from CertainTeed and Mastic. Few other MD roofing
contractors can offer the same kind of expert siding installation that
we do. Here is a quick explanation of vinyl and fiber cement siding so
you can be more informed on our service.
Vinyl Siding
Introduced to the market in the early 1960s, vinyl siding has grown
in popularity because of its durability, versatility and ease of
maintenance. Manufactured with polyvinyl chloride, vinyl siding is
impact resistant, rigid, and strong, with the ability to withstand high
winds (certified up to 110 mph or higher) and a composition that resists
heat, cold and moisture. In addition, vinyl siding retains its looks
over a number of years, needing little more maintenance than you can do
with a garden hose and a rag.
Vinyl siding is available in a broad palate of colors, as well as a limited range of patterns.
Vinyl siding also is available in many profiles, including horizontal
and vertical panels, shakes, scallops, shingles, fishscale, traditional
lap, Dutch lap and beaded designs in various widths. At HomeTech, our
professional design team will work with you to choose the exact style,
color, and texture that best fits your Maryland home.
Fiber Cement Siding
For Maryland homeowners who want the appearance of wood siding
without the hassles and costs associated with it, fiber cement siding is
the best choice. Available in a variety of textures, fiber cement
siding is more durable than wood. It’s also termite-resistant,
water-resistant, and non-combustible. As with all the products HomeTech
installs, it also comes with both our own Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee
as well as the deep warranties of our manufacturers.
A further advantage of fiber cement siding is its attractiveness,
variety of styles, and virtually unlimited number of colors that it is
available in. Our experts can help you choose the right one for you
home.
So if you are considering wrapping your home in siding, but don’t
know which material to choose, give HomeTech a call. We are the Columbia
roofing contractors with the deepest experience in the installation of
top-quality vinyl and fiber cement siding.
