The vinyl siding manufacturing process consumes less energy and generates fewer emissions than most other exterior cladding products.
FIND OUT MOREThere’s a reason homeowners continue to prefer vinyl siding and other polymeric cladding options. Compared to other home exterior materials like wood, fiber cement, stucco, or even brick, nothing else delivers the complete and lasting benefits of vinyl siding.
Today’s vinyl siding offers a lifetime of protection without the wood-based worries of painting, swelling, cracking, warping, or insect damage.

FIND OUT MOREUnlike wood or fiber cement siding, vinyl siding is immune to water damage, meaning you never have to paint or caulk to seal out water. Fiber cement siding has a porous core that can absorb water, swell, rot, and degrade when moisture penetrates through gaps or cracks in the paint and primer. Vinyl siding can’t absorb water, and in fact actually helps a home’s walls breathe and dry out.
Vinyl siding and polymeric exterior products are the only exterior claddings with third-party product certification validated by an independent, accredited quality control agency.
Vinyl siding and polymeric exterior products have the lowest installed cost of any home exterior cladding material, providing homeowners with lasting curb appeal and value from day one.
Since vinyl siding and polymeric exterior products do not require painting, staining, or caulking, no harmful solvents are released into the environment to maintain it. It’s energy-efficient and recyclable. Most products are certified and independently verified to meet or exceed unique quality standards and performance characteristics, and its “green” attributes are fully documented by the industry’s first environmental product declarations (EPDs).
Insulated siding is now accepted as home insulation in various energy efficiency programs — including the checklist of building products or methodologies that can help meet the requirements to qualify under ENERGY STAR Qualified Homes.
Vinyl siding and polymeric exterior products require roughly half the installation time compared to other cladding options. Its highly engineered design allows for high-quality installation without the need for expensive and hard-to-find trade professionals.
Vinyl siding never needs painting or caulking. It’s easy and inexpensive to maintain. Just clean with mild soap and water from a garden hose.
Home builder, author, and VSI consultant Fernando Page Ruiz talks about why he thinks polymeric siding is a better choice than fiber cement.
