Choosing siding can be a challenging decision for homeowners – there are so many materials, colours, and textures to choose from these days! At Tamar, we offer a huge variety of vinyl, steel, aluminum, and stone siding. However, for most residential applications, we recommend vinyl siding.
What Are the Benefits of Vinyl Siding?
People used to think vinyl siding was the “budget-friendly” option, that looks plastic and offers few colour options. Now, vinyl siding is the most popular type of siding. What changed?
1. Colour and Texture Variety
The siding industry has exploded with variety. Whether you’re looking for a moody and modern charcoal coloured siding, a vibrant blue colour, or a traditional, muted cream, Tamar can get it in your hands.
Modern siding often doesn’t even look like siding! Companies like West Ridge and Mitten, both of which we carry, offer multiple types of siding with realistic wood grain texture. Many brands even offer shake panels that emulate traditional wood shingles.
2. Durability and Ease of Maintenance
Now, more than ever, vinyl siding often comes with lifetime guarantees or warranties. The specific guarantees depend on the brand, but they are often robust. For example, Mitten’s Sentry Siding offers both a Lifetime Fade Protection Guarantee and a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Brands are now so confident in the durability of their vinyl siding that they put their money where their mouth is. Tamar’s in-store experts will help ensure you take advantage of any warranties or guarantees a brand offers!
3. Versatility
If you’re looking to get especially creative with your home’s exterior, vinyl siding pairs extremely well with other cladding materials like aluminum, steel, wood, cement, and stone look-alike products. Mixing materials can help you achieve the bespoke exterior design you’re looking for.
Tamar carries a massive variety of siding, vinyl and otherwise. If you’re not sure what siding would be best for your project, come in and chat with our expert staff! We’ll help you put together the perfect exterior.
