It also increases the comfort level, beauty and value of your house, as well as saves valuable time and money when it comes to home maintenance.

Vinyl siding

Vinyl siding is the most popular type of exterior siding. It holds more market share than any other single type of cladding material in the country and nearly double the closest competitive material. Vinyl siding helps create houses with distinctive style and unique character and helps build communities of undeniable attraction and lasting value.

Vinyl is made from a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic. Unlike wood or cedar, this durable plastic doesn't rot and flake. Vinyl siding is usually less expensive. It is available in unlimited color choices, as well as types for variety of architectural styles. It enables to replicate architectural elements that were once made from wood. Vinyl siding doesn't need a maintenance, except a simple wash.

Previously vinyl siding could crack and fade over time, requiring siding replacement. However, it has grown and improved a lot becoming one of the most innovating ways to transform a house safely, securely, efficiently and beautifully. Usually warranties offered by vinyl siding manufacturers last a lifetime.

Why did vinyl siding become the top choice for many builders and homeowners today?

  • Low cost
  • Lasts very long time
  • Good resistance to shock and scratching
  • Require little or no maintenance
  • Wide range of colors and styles
  • May be installed over existing siding

Tips:

  • Material quality – we recommend to choose material that has a minimum .045 in thickness.
  • Because of its chemistry, vinyl siding expands and shrinks depends on the temperature. But you shouldn't have any problems, if siding panels are well installed. Professional siding installation is all you need to avoid buckling.

To Clean Vinyl Siding:

   1.Use a soft-bristled, long-handled washing brush (it attaches to your garden hose and makes washing your siding easier). Do not rub vigorously, as this may create glossy areas over the vinyl siding finish.

   2.For hard-to-remove dirt, such as soot and grime found in industrial areas, wipe the siding down with a solution consisting of the following ingredients: 1/3 cup powdered detergent (Tide, Fab, or an equivalent powder detergent) 2/3 cup household cleaner (Soilax, Spic & Span or the equivalent) 1 gallon water

   3.If Mildew is a problem in your area, prepare the solution above but substitute 1 quart of laundry bleach for 1 quart of water.

   4.If you wash down the entire house, start at the bottom and work up to the top, as less streaking will result.

   5.It is important that immediately following all washing operations, the entire surface be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water from a garden hose. Avoid prolonged or high pressure rinsing of open, ventilated areas.

   6.For best results when using a cleaning solution, select an overcast cool day (55-75 degrees) and wash only small areas at a time. This should allow the wet cleaning solution to remain in contact with the finish for a period of not less than 3 minutes; then rinse with clear water before it has a chance to dry.

CAUTION: GREATER CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VINYL SIDING FINISH. DO NOT USE CLEANERS CONTAINING ABRASIVE PARTICLES, SOLVENT OR AMMONIATED-TYPE CLEANERS OR PAINT REMOVER FOR CLEANING THE VINYL SIDING. WHEN USING ANY OF THE ABOVE CHEMICAL CLEANING AGENTS, OBSERVE THE CHEMICAL MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. PROTECT AGAINST CONTACT OF THE SOLUTION WITH EYES OR SKIN.

Gutters: materials, types, sizes, profiles

Rain gutters are an essential part of roofing system protecting building‘s foundation by collecting and diverting rainwater away from a house. Gutters also help to reduce erosion, keep basements and crawl spaces dry and protect houses‘ facades and windows from water. Therefore gutters installation or replacement is a long-term investment in the infrastructure of your house.

 

Gutters differ by materials, types, sizes and shapes (profiles).
Gutters and downspouts can be constructed from a variety of materials, including copper, zinc, galvanized steel, plastic and wood, but aluminum gutters are the most popular. Aluminum gutters:

  • are lightweight;
  • are easily maintained;
  • are available in wide range of colors;
  • are low cost;
  • never rust.

 Tips:

  • Gutters material thickness – although gutters in .019 in are available, we recommend to choose material that has a minimum .032 in thickness.
  • Gutters material quality – choose primary aluminum avoiding the secondary one.
  • Gutters color – if you don‘t want the gutters to dominate the facade, choose color that blends in with your house.

There are two types of gutters: sectional and seamless (continuous). Sectional gutters come in various lengths and must be joined together during gutters installation. A bad thing is that there is a potential for leaks through all those seams. Seamless gutters are custom made from a single piece to the specific length from corner to corner. They don't have seams which could potentially leak and require minimal maintenance. Actually they do have seems, but only at the corners. Seamless gutters are the most popular type of gutters used today.

There are a lot of gutter shapes, but the most common are: K-style, U-style and Fascia style. Gutters are sized considering to a roof area they drain. Usually gutters are available diameters 4 to 6 in. Downspouts are chosen to fit the channel size. 5 in K-style gutters are the most common.
