Vinyl siding has been the top cladding choice for new homes since 1994. Homeowners prefer this material more than aluminum, wood and brick.

Vinyl Siding: Top Cladding Choice for 25 Years

Discover the reason behind this siding material’s 25-year reign now.

King of Cladding

The U.S. residential siding market is valued at $7.3 billion as of 2018. This number is expected to reach $8.2 billion by 2021. Out of the 840,000 single-family homes built in 2018, vinyl siding was installed on 215,000. It’s not only widely used in new construction, but it’s even more popular in the growing remodeling market. 


Homeowners who wish to increase their curb appeal tend to choose materials like vinyl for siding, windows and other exterior elements. Today, vinyl siding comes in a wider range of colors and smoother profiles. Modern vinyl products are designed to withstand sunlight and winds of 210 miles per hour, resist moisture and impact damage, and provide energy efficiency.

Why Vinyl?

Vinyl siding comes in various colors, textures and profiles, giving you total versatility when designing your exterior. It resembles the look of traditional material like cedar shakes. This material also won’t rot or corrode since it’s moisture-resistant.


Since vinyl resists pests and blights, it will look like new for years. You’ll never have to paint your exterior. Annual cleaning is enough for vinyl siding to retain its original appearance.


Insulated vinyl siding prevents thermal bridging or heat loss between the wall studs and exterior walls. It keeps your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
