Siding
Siding is the coat of armour donned by a house. It is like the FBI approved bulletproof vest that keeps harsh weather away from the house. Changing weather and seasons take a toll on the house. Extreme cold and heat can damage the structure of a house. The protective layer of siding, attached to the exterior of a house or building can help prevent this damage. In larger buildings the exterior covering is called cladding. It also prevents heat loss and visually unifies the facade. Siding hits two birds with one stone, it shields the exterior walls of your home and also contributes to the aesthetic beauty of the house. Curb appeal and protection, this a full package. Unlike clothing, siding does not have a free size option. It depends on the region, age and size of the house, the material used and most importantly the budget.
