This is achieved by proper overlapping, covering, sealing of joints and interlocking of materials. Remember, that all building materials contract and expand with outside temperature and humidity, this is why expert installation is important for performance and look. The very best siding installed by inexperienced workers will cause it to fail.
Today’s siding is made from a wide variety of materials such as wood, plastic (vinyl), metal, masonry and composite. Each of these materials has specific advantages and disadvantages.
