Essentially, all vinyl siding consists of back ply and top cap (co-extrusion). The top cap is virgin material exposed to weather. And the back ply is partially re-ground from other material previously manufactured out of spec.
As far as exteriors go, vinyl siding is an industry leader since their manufacturers were the first to incorporate re-grinding and co-extrusion processes, and continue to be highly-efficient practitioners whereas some materials do not allow for these capabilities.
Installing vinyl siding costs $7.50 per square foot on average, with $3 per square foot on the low end and $12 per square foot on the high side, according to HomeAdvisor. Roughly half of that is the stuff itself, and half is for labor. The average vinyl siding project runs to $11,437.
Several factors work together to determine the cost of your siding: the labor, material and medium (which is your house). Other factors may influence the price, but these three represent the bulk of the cost.
Once installed, vinyl siding is also fairly easy to maintain compared to other siding materials such as cedar, which must be stripped and repainted on a regular basis to preserve the wood. Vinyl is also quite durable, and can last anywhere between 20 to 40 years, depending on how well you take care of it and the local climate.
Plain, untextured styles of vinyl siding are significantly cheaper than the flashier alternatives but they work just as well to protect your home. Choosing plain, untextured siding will save you money on your project and protect your return on investment.
The affordability, aesthetic quality and durability of vinyl has made it a top contender among siding materials. No matter the style of vinyl you choose, be prepared to consider the prices and pricing factors, as new siding is never cheap to buy or install. While vinyl is one of the most economic siding materials, it is still quite common for people to use loans or other financing options to cover the cost of the project.
You don't need a separate air gap between the vinyl siding and the Tyvek, because vinyl siding is installed loosely and doesn't sit tight to the sheathing. It makes its own drainage gap. So you don't need vertical furring strips or a three-dimensional plastic grid like Cedar Breather behind vinyl. It is self-draining.
Hi Martin, I was looking at adding a "drainage plane" like PACTIV Greenguard Drainage Mat DC14 or like a Rain Slicker Mat, also would like to look at a dimpled product. I just wanted to get a drainage area so that any water that penetrates the vinyl siding would then drain down the drainage plane before getting to the water-resistant barrier. I talked with a Tyvek specialist just a little while ago and they are starting to recommend this type of application for siding. I want to give the walls the most protection behind the siding that I can. I know that vinyl is not really weather tight.
The vinyl is mostly keeping the sunlight off the Tyvek. If you detail your Tyvek well you need no further drainage. If you want belt and suspenders I like the idea of running 1" wide strips of sill seal over the studs and fastening the siding through the sill seal allowing the foam to gap the siding just off the house wrap as well as seal the nail penetrations. Just pull the sill seal through a few utility knife blades in the end of a 2x6 to cut it into 1" wide strips and staple them to the wall as you put up the siding.
Deryl, Vinyl siding does not slow the drainage of water in any way. It's easy to show this with a backyard test or a job-site test. Set up a rig to introduce water (using a garden hose set to a trickle) between vinyl siding and the WRB (whether Tyvek or asphalt felt). You'll see that the water drains very quickly -- much more quickly than any other type of siding.
ABK Realty Management LLC, which owns the three apartment houses at 17-31 Market St., sought city permission to replace the crumbling clapboard siding with vinyl. On Wednesday, the Historic District Commission unanimously rejected the proposal.
The buildings are located within the city's Historic District, which includes much of the downtown. Although city code allows vinyl siding use on properties within the district, it's generally discouraged, according to city Code Enforcement Officer Tim Metivier. Several previous requests for vinyl siding on properties within the district also were rejected.

Those avoiding toxins or who have chemical sensitivities will want to consider the initial chemical offgassing, toxins in the dust, as well as upkeep of the siding. How often the siding needs to be repainted, and how healthy the paint is could be a critical consideration.
Wood siding is more vulnerable to decay, rot, and vermin that non-organic types of siding. Using the proper wood species, care (no sprinklers hitting the building), maintenance (if required), and installation are the keys to keeping the wood from rotting.
If you go with a wood that needs painting, it can still be rot-resistant if the paint finish is re-done on schedule and you take care not to have sprinklers hitting the siding (which they never should anyway).
Thermally modified wood is wood siding treated with heat. It provides durability and protection against rot and termites. No chemicals are used in the treatment. It has the smell of smoked wood. The siding can be stained or left natural.
LP SmartSide is one brand of engineered wood siding. It is made of flakes of aspen glued together, similar to OSB. It is made with resins (ie adhesives), the glue here is MDI (like OSB). Zinc borate and wax are added. There is a paint finish on top.
I am wary of vinyl siding due to the debate over whether it can go over furring strips to create a rainscreen. In almost every situation, I would use siding that has a rainscreen. But vinyl without foam backing has a lot of air movement, and many mold aware contractors and building science experts think there is enough air movement behind it.
Hi Corinne,I am in the process of building a new home with a ventilated facade, with mineral wool as the insulation and with glass fiber reinforced concrete panels, what do you think of these kind of panels for outdoor siding?Thanks.
For example, cedar siding would normally cost an exorbitant sum of money for a traditional home, but for my tiny house, I spent about $1,000 to trim out and side my entire house in it. Check out my tiny house cost guide to see more about what expenses you can factor into your build.
Douglas fir siding is a slight bump in cost over pine board siding, but has a few minor advantages. The main one being that when comparing similar grades of wood, Douglas fir has a tighter grain structure and more stable grain lines. This means the siding will be a bit more durable and less prone to warp and twist. 2ff7e9595c
