By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Ian_MckIntosh]Ian MckIntosh
When you want your house to look the best, why settle for mediocre decors? Every beautiful home needs siding to help itself stand unique in its own league. If you are looking forward to an exquisite home of yours with stunning interiors, sidings are indispensable.
Sidings are basically the outer cladding of the house protecting the house from rains, etc and adding aesthetic beauty to your house.
Sidings are mainly responsible to increase the appearance of your home dramatically. Sidings improve the appearance; curb appeal and value of your house. These are required to protect your place from natural hazards. A sense of warmth and protectiveness is also instilled when these are used. Sidings materials include wood siding, asbestos siding, aluminum siding, vinyl siding, hardboard composite, fiberglass and cement fiber siding.
Wood siding has been in use since a very long time. Earlier, it was known as Eastern white pine siding as the most common material that was used in wood siding was white pine. Wood sidings are environment resistant and are naturally colored to give you the best results. Cedar and rosewood are the generally used types of wood sidings. The most vital advantage of these sidings is that they are environment resistant. When horizontally arranged in rows or columns, these sidings are known as clapboards.
Asbestos siding has been in use since 1920's and is made by adding asbestos to Portland cement. This type of siding is relatively cheap to manufacture, quite durable and is resistant to naturally occurring elements. These are also easy to clean and paint sticks to it easily. Hence, because of its painless management and maintenance, it costs less. However, the main disadvantage of such siding is that it is the main cause for causing cancer as asbestos become air-borne. So, this put up a major halt in the consumption of asbestos sidings. However, they cause no health hazard as long as they remain unperturbed.
Though vinyl siding is very popular, these are not safe for your health. One of the advantages of vinyl sidings is that it is very cheap and passes on a feeling of wood or cedar. Moreover, vinyl protects your home from storms no matter how strong it is. In addition to this, your house is given a rustic yet elegant look making you feel enticing.
Aluminum siding comes to rescue of houses whose paint is chipping and peeling.
Vinyl siding act as an insulator and reduces air leakage. Hence, saving your energy bills and avoiding the re-paint of your house year after year is better managed using vinyl sidings.
Sidings are beautifying elements as well as protective covering for your house. Including them in your house would definitely increase its value.
