Want to Cover Up the Exterior of Your Commercial Building?
There are various kinds of commercial siding, ranging from cement, vinyl, wood, and aluminium. Choosing the best ones can be somewhat of a challenge. Think about the cost, maintenance, and other features of siding when you make your decision. A well-trained home siding installation contractor explains:
Wood clapboard is generally seen on older buildings and is now available for new buildings in various styles and textures. It is, however, very high maintenance and will need painting and caulking regularly. Installing wood siding over pre-existing siding is extremely time consuming and complex. For some owners, the extra work needed maintaining it will only be rewarded by the historic look it provides. This type of siding is reasonably priced when compared with other kinds.
Another kind of commercial siding is vinyl. This is cheaper than aluminium siding and do not need much maintenance. It will not need painting; however, it is prone to cracking due to impacts in colder temperatures. Broken vinyl siding will have to be replaced. The siding installation, however, has to be performed correctly, failing to do this will cause the surrounding siding to buckle or warp.
The most expensive is cement fiber siding. This is similar in appearance to wood and has a similar installation technique. However, unlike wood siding, which will rot and be prone to insect damage, cement fiber siding is not. Building owners are able to choose from various different styles, such as bevelled, stucco and shake. Cement fiber siding is almost maintenance free and generally comes with a 50 year warranty.
It’s also a good idea to choose a siding which will protect a building against the weather. Wood siding has overlapping joints, which provide an excellent seal against the elements. Aluminium and vinyl siding has interlocking flanges, which will also protect a building from the elements.
