What Makes Up Modern Siding?
Siding is the exterior cladding material installed across the outside walls of a home designed to guard the underlying structure from moisture, wind, and temperature extremes. Unlike paint alone, siding acts as a structural skin that redirects water away from the wall cavity. The choice of siding material directly impacts how well your home resists the elements.
From a technical standpoint, siding sections of cladding are attached to the home's exterior sheathing or framing using manufacturer-specified hardware. Expert fitting requires accounting for thermal movement so the surface stays flat and tight. A house wrap or moisture barrier is layered between the siding and sheathing to further prevent water intrusion.
Current siding materials on the market come in a remarkable range of options suited to every budget and aesthetic. Fiber cement has surged in popularity because of its low maintenance requirements. No matter your preference, the workmanship behind the project is the key factor in long-term satisfaction.
