The Different Benefits Of Installing Vinyl Log Home Siding

By Marissa Velazquez


One thing every village, town or city has everywhere you go is different homes. Many people as they begin growing into adulthood will plan to invest in a home to raise a family and to have a way to pass some wealth from their generation to their children. Many times, rather than getting a new house or building one, families will buy older homes to remodel over time. This is where many people first find the many benefits of installing vinyl log home siding on their houses.

Log homes are among some of the best looking houses built on the market. The down side is that they often require a great deal of upkeep to keep them that way. One of the best things about using preformed vinyl siding is it really does not require all the time consuming and expensive day to day maintenance that a normal log home would.

Basically, you can get the look without the massive high price tag that often goes along with it. Many builders suggest that a normal log house gets inspected around twice a month by a professionally trained person. The items they look for are rotting and various wood dwelling bugs that often cause them damage. Log homes are quite susceptible to this type of damage.

One of the great things about this kind of material is, it will generally be free from most insect damage and rotting. It is also typically free from algae as well as various fungi which can start growing on real logs. This is often a major cost advantage to consider over the life time of your house or expenses on major repairs.

Generally there is a major time savings and concerns over basic clean up. In most cases clean up and maintenance is as simple as spraying it down once a year after applying a mild detergent to clean it up. This is something you could never do with real woods used in construction.

The method most siding is made is to fill it with foam on the wall side. This not only makes it resistant to breaks and dents but it also acts as and added thermal barrier. Many people also install additional insulation for added thermal protection. They are also be found in various popular colors and shades so almost everybody can find something they like.

Most companies believe in the products they sell and generally offer a 75 year warranty on many of the products they have. This factory warranty is good for self installed siding by the average home owners over many weeks or months and professional insulation. Even though it is inexpensive and easy to install it is important to know it has a solid no issues warranty is anything major happens.

The bottom line is that using vinyl log home siding can save you money in the long term and the short term. It is very easy to maintain and install. It generally comes with a very good warranty. The only real question is why everyone is not using it.
