Beautiful And Durable Vinyl Log Siding
When you take a look at vinyl log siding you're going to be amazed, just as we were. Vinyl log siding is gaining in popularity in lots of places, and it's easy to see why. Real log construction homes are nice, but require a lot of exterior care. Vinyl log siding is absolutely maintenance free. The truly best part is, it looks just as good as real log and is hard to tell apart from the real thing.My husband and I are skiers and travel frequently to Colorado. We went to look at new home construction there during our last trip and were surprised to see vinyl log siding being used. It was almost impossible to tell it from the real thing.
The builder explained that most people don't want to have to deal with the upkeep of a real log home. Real log homes need to be cleaned, and most real log companies suggest twice a year cleaning. Then logs need to be checked for damage from wood boring insects. Corners are particularly susceptible to rot.
Another reason that homeowners are choosing vinyl log siding, and that home builders like using it is that it makes home construction easier, which saves time and money. Using log siding on a post and beam home means that you can have any type of interior wall finish you want. This makes installing electrical and plumbing on a new construction project easy for the builder.
You won't have to worry about denting because the siding is filled with a foam backing that makes it resilient.
Beautiful half log siding comes in a wide range of lengths, from ten feet up to sixteen feet so that you can get the look you want. Some of the vinyl log siding styles available are Pine, Peeled Pine and Cedar Embossed. They come in a variety of corner styles, saddle-notch, round or square.
There are also other considerations and benefits of using vinyl log siding. One is ease of application. This siding is installed to your home like any vinyl siding. It's lightweight and can be applied to any existing exterior surface. It has an R-value that's four times higher than real half logs. Half log vinyl siding comes with three coats of protective sealer. It gets a final coat after installation to protect any ends that have been cut, and is maintenance free for the homeowner. Some manufacturers also offer a 75 year limited transferable lifetime warranty.
