When you choose vinyl siding for your home, you know that you are choosing a durable and attractive protection against storms and other dirt and debris. For this reason, it is one of the most popular choices amount homeowners for the exterior of their home. Even though it is practically maintenance free and durable, there are still problems that can arise. MB Construction is here to talk about some of the problems that can come with vinyl siding and the one perfect solution to all of the possible problems.
Moisture Behind Vinyl Siding
The way that vinyl siding is installed does not make it waterproof. For this reason, it is imperative that a waterproof barrier is installed underneath it before installation happens. Whoever you choose to install your siding should make sure the doors and windows have the added water protection as well since this is a common place that water tends to get under the siding and cause problems.
Vinyl Siding Warping & Buckling
When installing vinyl siding, it is installed a little different than wood siding. While wood siding needs to be nailed tightly to a house, vinyl siding needs to have a bit of room to allow the siding to contract and expand. When this room isn’t there, you will find that your siding starts to warp and buckle under the pressure.
Noisy Vinyl Siding
Your siding is bound to experience quite a bit of beating due to heavy storms and severe weather. Like mentioned above, your vinyl siding needs to have enough room that it is able to expand and contract. If that room isn’t there, you may be able to hear it trying to expand and contract with temperature changes. You can loosen the nails to allow the room it needs to avoid this problem. You may also hear some noise when there is severe wind and other heavy storms and this comes from the siding being installed too loosely. It is important that the siding is installed just right so that you don’t run into these problems.
How Do You Protect Vinyl Siding from Problems
