Reminder: Helpful Vinyl Siding Resources On Our Website
Over the past year, the Vinyl Siding Institute (VSI) created, updated and compiled a wealth of educational web pages, guides and tools that serve as an information resource to remodelers, builders, planners, designers, architects, elected officials, building code officials, distributors, homeowners and other exterior cladding decision-makers on the facts about vinyl siding.
Below we highlight many of these resources – we hope you find them valuable. Please check the website regularly in 2022, as our team is continually developing new resources designed to advance and grow the vinyl and polymeric siding industry.
