Siding
Vinyl Siding from Landstone Homes Can Save You Money
At a time when profit margins are being squeezed by rising costs and increased competition, the decision between vinyl and fiber cement siding is more important than ever. Vinyl siding is the number one exterior cladding across the United States and Canada. It’s the preferred choice because of an impressive list of benefits, including lasting beauty, design versatility, durability, great value, sustainability and extremely low maintenance. In fact, vinyl siding has more than triple the market share of fiber cement siding. Yet some competitors continue to make claims about vinyl siding performance that simply are not true. Vinyl siding can reduce material costs and improve cash flow by making homes more saleable.
A Real Cost Advantage
There are two aspects to the cost of siding: materials and labor. In both, vinyl holds a significant advantage. On the materials side, the price of premium vinyl siding has remained relatively stable. As for labor costs, vinyl building products eliminate the priming, back priming, or painting. Also, installation innovations like our patented STUDfinder™ Installation System and long (up to 20 ft.) panels have significantly reduced the time it takes to install vinyl siding. As a result, vinyl building products result in a lower installed cost to builders and remodelers. Vinyl siding has the lowest total installed cost (including labor and finish costs) and the lowest long-term maintenance cost of any cladding material.
Guaranteed Customer Satisfaction
Vinyl siding can make a home more attractive to buyers, who have come to understand the advantages in the long-term ownership costs of vinyl and fiber cement.
Virtually no maintenance
Just like high-maintenance wood siding, fiber cement siding requires painting and caulking to protect the home and maintain its appearance, adding to the home’s life-cycle cost. Although prefinished product is available in a limited range of colors, it carries an additional cost, requires touch-up during installation and must be repainted at regular intervals. Vinyl siding, on the other hand, is simple to clean and will not rot, crack, or split, even after years of rough weather conditions. Also, most of Landstone Home's siding and trim carries a lifetime limited warranty, so homeowners are protected for as long as they own their homes.
Wood-like appearance
Today’s advanced technologies have created vinyl siding textures that look as authentic as wood. For example, CertainTeed’s unique Monogram™ siding is manufactured with a mold that duplicates the texture of premium cedar panels. The result is an authentic solid cedar look—in a low gloss rough cedar or smooth brushed finish. Similarly, Landstone Home's Cedar Impressions® siding reproduces hand-split or rough-split shingles and shakes or half-round shingles in a rigid, durable polypropylene panel.
Thermal efficiency
Vinyl siding also allows builders and remodelers to add an extra layer of insulation, especially in re-siding applications. For example, Landstone Home's Cedar Boards™ siding with True Comfort® Technology can increase the R-value of exterior walls by as much as 22 percent.
Clear Choice
When you add up the advantages—savings to the builder or remodeler, long-term savings to the homeowner, and a true wood-like appearance, the choice becomes clear: vinyl siding is right for today and tomorrow.
