When purchasing new siding for your home, you should take into consideration several important factors to assure your ultimate choice meets your needs and budget. Siding not only plays a crucial role in protection from the elements, but it also contributes to your home’s overall aesthetic appeal and value.
Here are 7 areas you should factor into your decision, and reasons why you should consider ASCEND Composite Cladding by Alside as your choice in siding.
Material:
There are various siding materials to choose from, including vinyl, wood, fiber cement, metal, and stucco. Each material has its own pros and cons in terms of durability, maintenance, cost, and aesthetics.
ASCEND Composite Cladding by Alside combines beauty and performance for the best overall siding value on the market. It has been recognized by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) as “Most Innovative Building Material” in the Best of IBSx™ Awards for the 2021 NAHB International Builders’ Show® virtual experience (IBSx).
Durability:
Assess the durability of the siding material and how well it can withstand your local climate conditions, including extreme heat, cold, moisture, and wind. Some materials may require more maintenance or replacement over time.
ASCEND cladding system lasts longer than wood and is easier to maintain. It has been designed and engineered to keep the weather out and the beauty in.
Maintenance:
Different siding materials require different levels of maintenance. Vinyl, for example, is relatively low maintenance, while wood siding may need regular painting, staining, and sealing. Consider how much time and effort you’re willing to invest in upkeep.
By keeping that “just installed” look for as long as it’s up, ASCEND requires minimal maintenance, day after day, year after year.
Cost:
Your budget is a significant factor in the siding selection process. Consider the initial cost of materials and installation, as well as long-term maintenance expenses. Keep in mind that while some materials may have a higher upfront cost, they may prove more cost-effective in the long run due to lower maintenance requirements.
ASCEND cladding system is more durable than wood and stays vibrant year after year to save you thousands in repaint costs. It is the best overall value for siding options on the market today.
Aesthetic Appeal:
Siding plays a crucial role in your home’s curb appeal. Consider the style, color, and texture of the siding material in relation to your home’s architecture and your personal design preferences. Some materials offer more design flexibility than others.
ASCEND gives your home the high-end look of real wood, with a realistic woodgrain appearance. The extensive line of colors lets you customize your style while leaving a lasting impression.
Warranty:
Investigate the warranty offered by the siding manufacturer and the installation contractor. A good warranty can provide peace of mind and protection against defects and issues that may arise.
With ASCEND, years of minimal maintenance come backed by an industry-leading lifetime warranty for exceptional performance.
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Impact:
Siding can improve your home’s energy efficiency by providing better insulation. This can help lower your heating and cooling costs. Look for siding options with good insulation properties, such as foam-backed or insulated vinyl siding. Energy efficiency also contributes to overall environmental sustainability.
