  2. Virtually no maintenance - aside from cleaning as needed.  Most homeowners take care of this during warm months with a garden hose or a gentle-pressure power washer.
  3. Highly customizable and versatile - to match your individual specifications. Easily mimics any texture, even wood.
  4. No initial coating of finish – the color is infused with the vinyl itself so it cannot flake or chip. You paint when you decide to change the color.
  5. Choice of at least 3 gauges – the thickness of siding which is key when selecting vinyl siding. The thicker the gauge, the thicker the siding, the longer it will last, it can last more than 40 years.
  6. Reduces heating and cooling costs – with insulated vinyl siding we cover wall studs which reduces heating and cooling transfer.  It keeps your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer without increased use of your HVAC system.
