Siding Types and Styles

[@gibbonschip]

I've spent a lot of time looking at siding options for my house and this is one of the best videos I've seen for comparison. I wish you lived near me.

Thank you for this video. You compiled everything I wanted in 1 video. Much thanks!

This is one of the best KZbin's of its kind on this subject. I've been watching a lot of different ones and you were very informative. You should have a better in-office example of the Hardie board though. I thought you were slighting them until you did the example of the house.

Excellent video! I was looking for info on LP Smartside and this video helped me tremendously. I, too, live in Illinois, where we get a lot of snow and rain. As such, I agree LP Smartside may not be the best product for our wet climate.

Wonderful information. Thank you and best wishes.

There are other siding options that could also be considered. Metal siding has come a long way from the standard pole barn or commercial steel siding. Companies like EDCO or Quality Edge offer traditional profiles like lap, board & batten, and shake metal siding with a simulated textured wood grain that looks very nice, is fire & moisture resistant, and virtually maintenance free. You could also check out composite PVC sidings that look great, are moisture & rot resistant, easier to work with than Hardie (which is quite brittle & easy to snap), and also mostly maintenance free. Everlast siding by Chelea Building Products is a very impressive product and one we're considering for our new build. Another would be Celect siding by Royal Building Products.

I am in the process of receiving quotes for vinyl siding for my house. A few contractors came to my house and did not have the insulated vinyl siding. It looks like from what I can see in your video, the insulation is form fitted to the back of the vinyl siding. What is the preference for vinyl siding, I’m assuming the insulated vinyl siding is a better option.

After the Tyvek, insulated is way better. Cement siding is heavy but it can be butted up.

[@claireh.7605]

This guy is misinformed. Insulated vinyl siding doesn’t air out down the outside so it can’t dry out as easily and the insulation in it doesn’t work

Vinyle siding is crap after a hail storm.
