-- Vinyl siding is a popular choice for many homeowners in the United States. It is an affordable, durable and versatile type of siding that can be used on both residential and commercial properties. The cost of vinyl siding varies depending on the type of installation, the style, the thickness of the material and whether it is installed over wood or metal framing. Your choice of siding company will play a factor into the cost as well. -- Vinyl siding is a type of exterior cladding that is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. It can be installed on both sides of the building, or just one side. Vinyl siding is a popular choice for many homeowners because it is fairly easy to install. It also lasts for decades, making it a long-term investment for your home. -- Vinyl siding was originally developed to replace the use of asbestos and other toxic materials in the late 1930s by inventor Waldo Semon. He was trying to find a way to create an inexpensive alternative to wood clapboard, which at the time was the most common type of exterior siding used on homes. In 1938, Waldo patented his invention and started production with his brother. They named their company Semon Manufacturing Company and it went on to become one of the largest vinyl manufacturers in the world. Vinyl siding was then introduced to the public in the 1950s as an alternative siding. This material became popular for siding in the 1960s because it was affordable, durable, easy to install, and could be made to look like other types of siding such as wood or stone. It has gone through many changes over the past few decades, with new types of vinyl being introduced and then discontinued as time goes on. In the 1970s, there were some reports about the harmful effects of PVC on health so vinyl manufacturers began using polyvinylidene chloride instead which is less harmful to humans because it does not contain chlorine (it contains hydrogen). You will find just about any color you need with this type of material. In recent years, new types of vinyl have been introduced as well as discontinued due to changes in technology and consumer preferences. |
