3 Wall Claddings: Vinyl Siding, Panel & Channel, and Open-Joint

As someone who is from the south, I've seen the sun reek havoc on vinyl products that get brittle. Time will tell I do like the info, thanks!

[@manschel2009]

Agreed. UV can take a heavy toll on lots of products. Higher quality products have UV stabilizers which allow them to take that kind of exposure for longer.

yeah, what @manshell2009 said. Definitely talk to the material manufacturer about the right material for the right application.

PVC does expand and contract significantly

[@manschel2009]

It does, which is why the fastening pattern matters. Fastened properly, the movement is eliminated.

[@ProTradeCraft]

Yes, it does. There is an episode from last season where we had an expert from AZEK explain it to us like we were 12 year-olds... www.protradecraft.com/video/board-batten-siding-and-secret-successful-pvc-installs-building-resilience-episode-8
