Nothing dates a home more than damaged, shabby, or outdated siding. If you’re looking to sell your home, or just breathe some life into it this spring, new siding or cladding is an awesome option. What type of siding is best, though? That depends entirely on your style preferences, home, and budget. Keep reading to learn about the types we carry!
Vinyl
Vinyl is a super versatile material for siding; there is a style of vinyl siding to suit almost any home and budget. Tamar carries the below types of vinyl siding, in an impressive array of colours.
Shake Siding
This style of siding imitates the traditional cedar shake texture and shape; it offers an old world, rustic charm to your home’s exterior.
Board and Batten Siding
This is a popular style of siding right now; it has wide boards, with narrow strips of wood (battens) covering the seams between boards. It evokes a modern, “farmhouse chic” aesthetic. You may sometimes see this style installed vertically.
Lap Siding
This is the most common style of siding – horizontal, with planks overlapping the ones below them. This type of siding is clean and simple, an excellent solution for most homeowners.
Panel Siding
Unlike lap siding, panel siding has wide, vertical boards that don’t overlap. Panel siding is available in many different styles and textures; they are often used on luxury homes and commercial buildings.
Shingle Siding
This style of siding is most popular in East Coast-style homes and cottages, but it adds wonderful texture and character to any home. Shingles are smoother, more uniform, and thinner than shake siding.
Specialty Materials
Metal Architectural Siding
For those seeking a unique and modern home exterior, this is an excellent choice. The textures are almost limitless; to name a few: board and batten, narrow wooden planks, and a smooth, sleek metal look.
Faux Stone
This material certainly stands out beside other cladding options – it is often used as a complement to vinyl siding. Though uncommon to be used as the only cladding material, sometimes whole facades are covered with stone.
Tamar offers every single variety of siding we talked about above, many of them in stock at our location on Walker Road and on County 34 in Ruthven! Make your home stand out for the right reasons this spring – stop by Tamar today to get started.
