What’s the difference between siding and cladding?

• <div><p>Siding and cladding are two popular exterior wall coverings that protect homes from the elements and provide insulation, but they differ in design and application. Siding is applied directly to a home’s exterior, providing some insulation and basic shielding from the elements. In contrast, cladding is installed indirectly over furring strips, creating a ventilated air gap for enhanced insulation and moisture control. </p></div>

How long is the life span of aluminum siding?

• <div><p>Aluminum is a durable siding material that can last for 30 to 45 years depending on factors like your climate, how well it’s maintained, and the quality of the aluminum. However, the siding’s appearance is likely to deteriorate much faster than its structure, especially if it’s painted, so you should clean it annually and repaint it when it starts to chip to maintain its look. </p></div>

When choosing to replace your home&rsquo;s siding, it&rsquo;s essential to consider your climate and longevity. </p></div>

Q: How do I estimate how much siding I need?

• <div><p>You can calculate the required square footage of siding you need by measuring the height and width of your home&rsquo;s rectangular exterior walls. For the triangular-shaped gable walls, measure the height from the ground to the tallest gable point to make sure you have enough for good coverage. Once you have combined the totals for each wall, add another 10% to account for wasted materials. It&rsquo;s also good to have extra siding on hand to tackle <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wood-siding-repair.htm">wood siding repair</a> down the road.</p></div>

Q: What is the life span of composite siding?

• <div><p>Composite siding, with proper care, can last 30 years and sometimes more. Because its color has a tendency to fade, you might want to re-paint it every five years or so. Before purchasing composite siding, check the manufacturer&rsquo;s warranty&mdash;you should have a long-term warranty to back up the quality of the product.</p></div>
