Benefits of vinyl log siding
Log siding, or, as it is also called, block house, is a type of siding that, in its appearance, exactly imitates a wooden log house. Manufacturers achieve this effect thanks to the special geometry of the panel, resembling a wave, and the texture of the wood. At the same time, the panels can have different depths and wavelengths, which determines the size of the imitating log.
Unlike wood, log siding has a number of distinctive characteristics and advantages:
- pvc is used for the production of panels, which allows preserving forests; at the same time, the appearance of the cladding is exactly the same as natural wood;
- the cost of siding is much lower than wood cladding;
- siding is a durable and reliable material that easily withstands both high and low temperatures, is resistant to ultraviolet radiation, and is able to withstand significant physical stress;
- , unlike wood, is not an attractive habitat for microbiological organisms, mold, rot and fungi are also not afraid;
- vinyl panels are fire resistant і do not support it;
- it is easy to maintain a siding facade – it is enough to wash off the dirt from the surface of the panels once a year, while the wood, in addition to cleaning, needs constant and periodic processing.
