Many developers or those who decided to update the appearance of their home or cottage among many options for the decoration of facades prefer such facing material as siding. But the building materials market offers several varieties of this material – polymer (vinyl or acrylic), metallic, concrete, already ceramic, traditional wooden siding are widely represented. Therefore, a completely reasonable question arises, which siding is better to choose for lining at home. But the problem is that you can not give an unambiguous answer. Consider the positive and negative aspects of each type of siding, and the choice will remain for you.
Which siding is better to sheathe a house?
So … at first a few words about the traditional material – wooden siding. The material, of course, is natural, it looks very presentable, but … a wooden siding is quite expensive, with further operation, special care is required, material (tree) is subject to decay, it is easily ignited. Therefore, for external decoration of the house, wooden siding can be considered little suitable.

We will also not consider the option of decoration with ceramic siding, since this type of facing material only recently entered the building materials markets on the territory of post -Soviet states and at the moment has a fairly high price.
Concrete siding is an acceptable option for lining a house. The material is durable, resistant to external factors (including mechanical exposure), not fuel, convenient and easy to install. The disadvantages can only be attributed to the fact that concrete siding, nevertheless, cost a lot and quite heavy – the load on the foundation is intensified.

The same applies to metal siding. With the only reservoir that with a point and sufficiently strong blow on metal -bending, dents can remain.

And finally, polymer siding. In addition to all the positive qualities inherent in the sides listed above, the advantage of such sides is also that this is almost the ideal option for facing facade during low -budget construction or when warming walls using the “ventilated facade” technology.
