What are the main alternatives to vinyl log siding?

• <div><p>Though vinyl siding is affordable, the material may not last as long or look as good as other siding materials. For example, wood siding has a beautiful, natural appearance but requires much more maintenance to keep your siding looking as good as new. </p><p>Fiber cement siding is another alternative that mimics the appearance of wood siding. Like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fiber-cement-siding-vs-vinyl-siding.htm">vinyl siding, fiber cement</a> is a low-maintenance material, but it does come at a higher price and is heavier and more difficult to install. Weigh the pros and cons of all siding materials before you decide on the best option for your home.</p></div>

Q: Can you put new siding over clapboards?

• <div><p>You can put new siding over clapboards, but it&rsquo;s not recommended. Some sidings, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/vinyl-siding-guide.htm">vinyl siding</a>, can go over clapboards with sheathing like a foam layer in between. However, it&rsquo;s best to remove clapboard siding if you plan on replacing it with new siding. Burying wood clapboards underneath new siding can create risks of rot and mold, or hidden insect damage. It can also create warping issues over time. Removing clapboards allows you to properly install a new sheathing, as well as clean up the exterior wall and look for any signs of damage.</p></div>

Q: Does the thickness of siding matter?

• <div><p>Yes, the thickness of siding is an important factor to consider when replacing it. Siding thickness helps to determine how your home retains and redirects heat. While thicker siding has a premium price, it offers greater strength and durability, stronger insulation, better wind and weather resistance, increased rigidity, and better soundproofing. </p></div>

Q: How can I tell if I have siding or cladding?

• <div><p>If you have stucco on the outside of your home, it&rsquo;s technically considered cladding and not siding, but beyond that, it&rsquo;s impossible to tell without a little digging. Without damaging the siding material, expose part of it to see if there&rsquo;s an air gap between the siding and your exterior wall. If there is, you have cladding. If the siding is affixed directly to the exterior wall, you have a simple siding system. </p></div>

Q: How long will insulated vinyl siding last?

• <div><p>Insulated vinyl siding is very durable and can last for 20 to 40 years. The extra support that the insulation provides helps to make the vinyl siding less susceptible to damages from weather and other minor wear and tear. Vinyl siding on its own may be less durable than other types of siding like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fiber-cement-siding-vs-vinyl-siding.htm">fiber cement</a>, but when coupled with insulation it is stronger than usual.</p></div>
