Liquid Vinyl Siding

For almost a quarter of a century, liquid vinyl siding has been a popular the siding for both commercial and residential buildings. One of the main attractions is that it requires very little care. Another is that its consistency and high quality make it long lasting, far outlasting ordinary paint (a fact corroborated by numerous unbiased laboratory studies). In addition, case studies in many geographic regions and contrasting climates around the world have demonstrated the remarkable resilience of vinyl. In fact, liquid vinyl siding is so tough and reliable that many liquid siding manufacturers offer 25-year, unconditional guarantees!


What Is Liquid Vinyl Siding?

Composed of high quality polyvinylchloride, as well as a combination of resin and polymers, liquid vinyl is applied in a multi-step process much like paint to the exterior of a structure in micro-thin layers that are about as thick as the average driver’s license. Although wafer thin, these tiny particles create an insulating, protective yet permeable wrapper that actually reflects heat, providing long-lasting shield against extreme vacillation in temperature. Liquid vinyl siding is superior in durability and protection to standard paints and other coatings because of the advanced manufacturing technologies employed in its production giving it the ability to survive the most brutal types weather without wearing out.

The envelope created by liquid vinyl siding’s thermal efficiency has unmatched insulating capabilities. It will save you money on both heating oil and electricity.

Attractiveness

One of the attractions of liquid vinyl siding is its continued newly painted appearance. Since the color is formulated right into the core of the vinyl, the extremely thin, transparent exterior layers protect the lustrous vividness of the color. Liquid vinyl siding is especially versatile when it comes to remodeling, since it’s available in a wide range of hues and can be custom matched to any color you choose. You can also maintain the architectural integrity of your home, because it’s merely a coating and requires no change in the structure of your home. In fact, liquid vinyl has passed the tests of architectural review boards of historic districts and communities with the most rigorous criteria.


Elasticity

Another reason that you don’t have to worry about touch ups and repainting is the remarkable elasticity of liquid siding. The natural settling and shifting of buildings causes stress that can result in cracks or splits in paint. Not with liquid vinyl siding. It can stretch up to six and half times its original size without cracking and still recover its original shape. You’ll never need to touch up cracks because liquid siding maintains its structural integrity and keeps your home protected from the elements.


Maintenance and Upkeep

Liquid vinyl siding’s unique composition resists mold and mildew. Since it’s vapor permeable, moisture that’s normally trapped beneath the surface of other types of siding and coatings passes through as gas. This means that there’s nothing for mold, algae, and spores to feed on. Mold and mildew become a non-issue, eliminating the need for labor extensive and costly power washing. Simply spray it with a garden hose periodically to keep it clean.

If that’s not enough, the chemical composition of liquid vinyl makes it anti-static, so dirt and dust aren’t attracted to the exterior to begin with.


Reduced Energy Costs

The envelope created by liquid vinyl siding’s thermal efficiency has unmatched insulating capabilities. It will save you money on both heating oil and electricity. In addition, liquid vinyl siding reflects more heat than light-colored vinyl siding, brick, or even white paint. Scientifically proven to reduce building energy loss, the energy loss reducing properties of liquid siding are so outstanding that it has been selected by the Environmental Protection Agency as an Energy Star partner for its extraordinary ability to reduce heating and air-conditioning costs.


Environmentally Friendly

Liquid vinyl siding helps you to protect the environment. Liquid vinyl siding releases no harmful chemicals into the atmosphere either during manufacture or application. And, unlike vinyl siding, it contains no dangerous carcinogens!
