All sidings are not created equal
Sidings vary widely in quality and price. Most people want to side their home only once. Here is what to look for when choosing a siding that will last.

• The quality of the vinyl siding veneer, or skin panel. The thickness of the vinyl, or gauge, is the key to its durability and cost. Today's new-generation composite panels are thicker, sturdier, and have a more natural appearance than inferior vinyl siding panels.
• Insulation value and impact resistance. Look for a siding that is fully supported. Siding without a support backer is hollow, susceptible to dents from impact and weather. Only siding with a complete Thermal Support System™ saves energy and preserves the appearance of your siding over the life of your home.
• Aesthetic beauty. Only top-quality sidings offer the latest in color fade technology, authentic wide-plank profiles, real-wood graining, and extended-length panels for 50% fewer seams.
