Your home’s exterior siding

If your home’s exterior siding has begun to crack, flake, split or warp, then it’s time to change it. By prolonging the inevitable, you’re allowing the elements to seep through the exterior wall cladding and damage the interior materials. Here are some popular options for when it comes to replacing your siding.

Engineered wood

Also known as composite wood, this material is made from wood fibres, resin and wax. It looks exactly like natural wood and comes in different colours and textures. It’s also durable and requires very little upkeep, making it an eco-friendly choice.

Vinyl

This is an affordable, lightweight and easy-to-install material that is impervious to scratches, mould and insect damage.

Fibre cement

Available in boards, panels, shingles or soffit, fibre cement is a wall cladding that’s gaining in popularity. Durable and resistant to temperature variations, it comes in a wide array of colours and has either a smooth or textured finish.

Wood

Wood is the perfect choice when looking for eco-friendly siding that will add value to your home. Visually stunning, it can be combined with any other material to give your home a unique charm.

Brick

Thanks to its exceptional durability, brick is one of the most cost-effective sidings on the market. It’s extremely resistant to weather, fires, pests and rot, and adds an element of refined elegance to any style of home.

Exterior siding is more than just a barrier against the seasonal elements; it defines the very character of your home. That’s why it’s important to consider all of your options when looking to upgrade or replace your current exterior wall cladding.
