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>

What are some popular alternatives to stone siding?

• <div><p>As stunning and natural as stone siding is, it's not for everyone. Some popular siding alternatives to stone siding include:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-repair-aluminum-siding.htm">Aluminum siding</a></p></li><li><p>Brick veneer siding</p></li><li><p>Engineered wood siding</p></li><li><p>Fiber cement siding</p></li><li><p>Wood siding</p></li><li><p>Vinyl siding</p></li></ul><p>If you want the look of natural stone siding without the high material and installation costs, vinyl siding may be one of the best alternatives. It’s lightweight, low-cost, and low maintenance but does have a lower life span than natural stone.</p></div>

Q: Is vinyl better than metal siding?

• <div><p>Both vinyl and metal are very popular siding options, and it&rsquo;s important to weigh the pros and cons of each before making a decision for your home. Vinyl has a lower price point than metal and is easier to install, but metal siding is more durable, longer-lasting, and requires much less maintenance. The upfront costs could save you money in the long run.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required for vinyl siding?

• <div><p>Little maintenance is required beyond periodic washing with a garden hose to remove dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or pressure washers that might damage the siding.</p></div>

Q: Why does wood siding need an air gap?

• <div><p>Wood siding requires an air gap behind it to allow water to drain out, and for air circulation and venting to allow humid air to escape and keep the material from rotting due to moisture. </p></div>

First of all, building a pool is not for the faint of heart. We knew that going in to the process so were very diligent in getting quotes from multiple companies and spending time with each of them. We had a rough design of what we wanted and key features that were important so we used that to...

In word, awful. He did the mirror first (which I should have learned from) and tried to hang it on a small hook, which it tore out of our wall and almost shattered (damaged the bottom). We still have a mark in our wall from where it pulled out. He then was doing the Wine Cellar and Front...
