Commercial and Residential Siding
Siding is an important component of any home or commercial building. Not only does siding protect the building from the elements, but it also conveys the character of the building. The right commercial siding or residential siding choice will improve the appearance of the home or building, increase the perceived value of the building, and increase its energy efficiency.
Several Commercial and Residential Siding Types, Styles and Brands
-
Fiber Cement Siding: Is made from a mixture of Portland cement, sand, and wood fibers, making it extremely durable. Fiber cement siding stands up well to wind, hail, rain, fire, and wood-boring insects. Depending o n the brand, it can be guaranteed for 20 to 30 years or more. Fiber cement siding is low maintenance, requiring only an occasional cleaning. It is available custom painted and sealed in a variety of colors, styles and wood grains.
-
Vinyl Siding: Is most widely used residential siding, but is also an excellent commercial siding option. Vinyl siding is inexpensive and low maintenance. It is available in a variety of colors, styles, and textures.
