The Importance of
Vinyl Siding
 |
Vinyl Siding is to a house as skin
is to the human body. Siding
protects the house against the
elements and pests. It helps prevent
moisture penetration and the growth
of biological contaminants such as
mold, dust mites and bacteria. These
3 types of biological contaminants
have been known to cause allergic,
respiratory, and other health
problems in humans.
Choosing siding deserves careful
consideration. Some sidings are good
in dry climates, others in wetter
climates. Some siding is better in
windy conditions. And still others,
like vinyl, are good in all types of
weather conditions.
Rain, snow and frost are the
moisture concerns. If rain, snow or
frost get behind the siding, the
moisture makes the wall sheathing
soft, degrading the strength of the
entire house frame.
Some of the common pests that may
reside behind poor or inappropriate
siding are dust mites, carpenter
ants, and termites. Dust mites are a
common allergy concern. Carpenter
ants and termites, as they eat away
at the home, undermine the strength
of a wooden frame.
A carefully chosen siding,
appropriate for your climate and the
amount of care you are willing to
devote to its maintenance, will not
only give your house a new look, but
protect your family's health and
safety.
