Insulated Vinyl vs. Engineered Wood vs. Fiber Cement

The siding of your home offers protection while providing the beauty of the exterior.   There are many options to choose from when considering the best siding for your home. In this blog, we will be looking at the main three siding materials that we work with and comparing them so you can gain a better understanding of which one might be best for you. 

Insulated Vinyl Siding: This siding material has a layer of foam insulation which increases the energy efficiency of your home while keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This material is low maintenance and very durable. It is long lasting and resistant to rot. In addition you have many options to choose from when customizing this siding material as it comes in many styles and shades. 

Engineered Wood Siding: This siding imitates the look of natural wood but is much more durable. It is highly customizable as well, allowing you to select from different colors and styles. However, engineered wood can be more costly than some of the alternative options. That being said, it is much less expensive than actual wood siding and has a much longer lifespan. 

Fiber Cement Siding: This material is highly durable, making it great in intense weather and keeps your home protected from the elements. In addition, it is fire resistant which can add another level of protection for your home. It also requires very little maintenance and you can customize the look as well. Though it can be more expensive than vinyl, it has a very long lifespan.
