The Advantages of Engineered Wood Siding
Are you having trouble finding the right siding material for your home? According to siding repair experts, you should consider choosing engineered wood. What exactly is engineered wood and why is it worth trying? According to our team of experts, it offers a few advantages over other popular siding options.
Easier Installation
Just like wood, engineered wood siding can easily be cut using regular woodworking tools. However, unlike regular wood siding, engineered wood siding tends to be available in longer than standard lengths. This means you can have fewer panels installed to cover the same amount of area than if you use standardized siding options.
Better Versatility
With wood and metal siding, you don’t have a lot of options when it comes to colors. On the other hand, siding and gutter repair experts say that engineered wood siding offers more color options. In fact, engineered wood siding is often custom colored as early as the manufacturing phase, so there’s no need to use extra paint to help you achieve your home’s desired look.
Lower Maintenance Requirements
Compared to regular wood and some types of metal siding, engineered wood boasts better durability and lower maintenance requirements. A layer of resin protects engineered wood panels from water-related issues such as rot and rust so it can be installed in areas with a humid climate.
Pro Installation Recommended
In order to maximize the advantages offered by engineered wood siding, the panels have to be installed according to manufacturer’s specifications. Because a typical homeowner will have trouble complying to these specifications, you’re much better off hiring an expert on siding and new decks rather than risk compromising the performance of your siding on your home.
