What are the Advantages of Vinyl Siding?

With Owens Corning vinyl siding you get all the beauty of wood siding without having to give up evenings and weekends to paint, scrape or stain - ever! Plus its durable construction means it resists dents and damage from hail and harsh weather.

When you consider the long-term cost of painting the exterior of your home, vinyl siding makes a lot of sense. If you pay $1,200 to paint your home now, with inflation, repainting every 4 years would add up to $11,350 over the next 20 years!

Owens Corning vinyl siding gives you the attractive look of freshly painted wood that maintains its beauty year after year. The Owens Corning Exterior System offers a wide range of colors and styles.

No more scraping, painting, patching or replacing rotting boards. Caring for your vinyl siding is nothing more than an occasional spray with the garden hose to keep it looking like new.

Best of all, Owens Corning vinyl siding is backed with a non-prorated, transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty covering the original purchase price including labor for defective panels.

How Can Siding Change the Look of My Home?

	Traditional: The traditional vinyl siding look is one where each "board" appears to overlap the one underneath to recreate the look of real wood siding.
	Dutchlap: Dutchlap is a decorative variation on the clapboard style. It resembles the hand-carved craftsmanship of old world carpenters. The shadow line of dutchlap suggests a softer look that gives the home a distinctive exterior.
	Beaded: Another variation of the traditional style is beaded siding. It features a half-round molding-like effect cut into the bottom of the panel to create more dimension. It evokes the look of colonial and classic Victorian homes.
