Vinyl siding does great in all kinds of weather and other threats

Sun - Vinyl siding won't fade the way many other siding products will. It also won't wind up getting dried out and cracking in extremely high temperatures, like other types of siding may. 

Moisture - Vinyl is also a material that does great with moisture. It won't swell, warp, or experience any of the other moisture-related problems some materials would if exposed to excessive moisture. This makes it a great choice for siding, especially in areas that get a lot of rain.

Wind - Siding does extremely well in high winds. In fact, many homes in areas that get hurricanes have vinyl siding on them. Not only because it looks so great, but because the siding can hold up against such high winds. 

Hail - Vinyl siding is impact-resistant. Not only does this mean vinyl siding is going to hold up to things like the dog jumping against it or a bike being tossed against it, but it also means that it handles hail well. 

Pests - Some types of siding can be destroyed by pests, such as wood siding. This is another thing that vinyl can stand up to. Pests won't pose any threat to the vinyl, and this means the home itself will have that much more protection against pests like termites. 

Vinyl siding looks great

Since the siding on your home makes up so much of what is seen, it's important for you to have siding that looks nice. Vinyl comes in many styles and can mimic a lot of other materials. This gives you the freedom to have your home look just how you want, while also enjoying siding that does so well in so many circumstances. 

Vinyl can come in the necessary colors to mimic another material, or it can come in a lot of different solid colors. It also won't need repainting, and it is easy to clean.
