Vinyl Siding

"Exterior cladding made from PVC panels that interlock horizontally or vertically. The most common US residential siding due to low cost and minimal maintenance."

In detail

Vinyl is available in many colors and profiles (Dutch lap, clapboard, shake). Quality grades vary by thickness (0.040-0.055 inch). Darker colors can warp under heat; newer 'heat-reflective' vinyl mitigates this.
