Different Types of Siding for Homes
There are many siding types to choose from, but not all siding options are created equal. At FTC Oury Group, we only install high-quality siding materials from some of the best siding manufacturers in the business.
Whether you've selected vinyl, fiber cement, or wood siding, if FTC Oury Group is performing your siding installation, you can rest assured that your home will enjoy long-lasting protection and beauty for years to come.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is a synthetic siding material. It's the most commonly installed siding option in the United States. Vinyl siding comes in a range of colors and can withstand years of exposure to the elements. Vinyl siding is waterproof and resistant to rot. When properly installed, vinyl siding can last for decades without any painting or staining required. Of all the siding types, vinyl is the easiest to maintain. It needs occasional cleaning, and that's all. It lasts a long time, too.
FTC Oury Group sells vinyl siding from Mastic. Mastic is known for its premium vinyl siding product that can withstand exposure to heavy winds and rain, years of UV exposure, and more.
Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement siding from James Hardie is highly durable and long-lasting. Fiber cement siding is made from a combination of cellulose fibers and cement. It's resistant to fire and water damage, and pests as well.
Fiber cement siding can be painted, which means you have the option to refresh your home's appearance every few years. FTC Oury Group is proud to install James Hardie fiber cement siding because James Hardie is one of the most respected siding manufacturers in the business.
Wood Siding
Wood siding has a timeless quality that homeowners love. When properly maintained, wood siding can last for many decades. Wood offers long-lasting value and can give your home unparalleled warmth and beauty. Wood does need occasional painting or staining, but with good maintenance practices, you can enjoy the classic appearance of wood for a lifetime.
How to Choose the Best Siding for Your Home
There are many factors to consider when you're choosing the right siding. The pros at FTC Oury Group will help you navigate these many variables so you can be fully satisfied with the siding that you choose. Remember: you're going to have your siding for a long time! Choose carefully.
Aesthetics
Every type of siding that FTC Oury Group installs is attractive, but some siding types have different characteristics to consider.
- Vinyl siding can subtly mimic wood grain textures, but vinyl is often smoother than wood. Vinyl comes in a range of colors and stays that color for its entire service life.
- Wood has a natural warm beauty that can be very lovely when stained. Woodgrain texture also adds to your home's aesthetic appeal. Wood can be painted different colors throughout its service life.
- Fiber cement can be made with woodgrain texture and can be painted different colors.
Budget
The cost of your home's siding depends on the material, size of the house, and other factors. To find out how much your siding will cost, talk to one of the professionals at FTC Oury Group.
Maintenance
Some siding types are very low maintenance, while others require regular staining and painting. If it's important to you to have a low-maintenance siding type, vinyl siding may be the best option for you. Vinyl siding may not last as long as some other siding types, but it never needs repainting.
Durability
FTC Oury Group only installs siding from the best manufacturers in the industry, so all our siding types are built to last. For the most durable siding options available, choose FTC Oury Group as your siding contractor.
Longevity
Some siding lasts longer than others. Wood siding, for example, can last many decades - up to 50 years or more, depending on the type of wood and how well it's maintained. By contrast, vinyl siding may last only 20 years.
