Vinyl siding
High-quality vinyl siding is able to compete with such widespread finishing materials as: decorative finishing stone, facing brick, natural wood, in beauty and a wide range, texture, color and durability.
This high-quality siding is not only comparable with the above finishing materials, but also for such important indicators as resistance to weathering and guaranteed long service life, far surpasses them.
The attitude to siding is far from unambiguous. The reasons lie not in the material itself, but in the many unfortunate producers of Slovenia, Poland, China and Russia. From our own experience, we were convinced of the huge difference in the quality of Canadian siding and siding made in Russia.
Having lined the facade of our house with Canadian siding 10 years ago, for all these years, we have never regretted it, the exterior of the house is pleasing to the eye, the quality of decoration is excellent. Only three years ago, we had to sheathe a small siding with a domestic siding, the result of the work is unsatisfactory, this siding changes the structure and color in the sun, which leads to not very pleasant thoughts about the manufacturer and the quality of its product.
Historically, the benchmark for quality is North American vinyl siding from the United States and Canada. The quality of vinyl siding made by well-known companies in the USA and Canada meets the requirements of the consumer. And the requirements of the consumer are that the siding must maintain a flawless appearance and properties throughout the entire service life.
During operation, in accordance with the needs of the consumer, the siding must not change color under the influence of solar radiation, do not crack, swell or warp at temperature drops from -50 to +50 degrees, withstand significant wind loads - and all this for 50 years .
The best manufacturers of siding in the USA and Canada, it is such a guaranteed service life and quality indicators that are indicated in the accompanying documents. The advantage of using such siding is also manifested in the fact that the siding does not need to be updated and the surface painted. Washed in the summer with water from a hose - and he again as new. Of course, creating such a high and high-quality PVC siding is not an easy task.
In order to achieve high quality indicators, reputable manufacturers use the purest vinyl compound supplied by the industry leader, the American concern DuPont, the latest extruder machines and full computer control over all stages of production. With the help of numerous modifier additives, and their number reaches 14, it is possible to significantly improve the physicochemical properties of the material. Some of these ingredients are unique.
For example, the DURATON compound formula developed by DuPont specifically for KAYCAN, a leading Canadian siding manufacturer, provides the highest strength and ductility of the material. The above property of siding is preserved under any weather conditions, prevents burnout and deformation of siding in the sun.
And it is very important that this miracle compound gives the siding a complete outward resemblance to painted wood, while the color scheme is quite wide, up to 16 colors and shades. Explicitly superior to wood in terms of durability and durability, a real siding of a good manufacturer is not inferior to wood in its decorative qualities.
Decorative panels
The American manufacturer, the company NAILITE, produces another decorative material - vinyl decorative panels that mimic various types of cladding - brick, stone, wood chips and shingles.
Such panels are not inferior to siding in their physical properties and durability, and in appearance these panels are indistinguishable from similar natural materials.
They can be used to decorate any building, or some separate architectural elements: facade, basement, frantones, etc.
The recommendation tip, before doing the decoration of the facade with decorative panels, warm the walls from the outside, this will help you save the heat of your home.
Joint use of siding and panels
Siding and panels are perfectly combined with each other, both in appearance and in their properties and may well be adjacent to each other. Vinyl siding and decorative panels are widely used not only for exterior wall cladding cottages and cottages, but also for the mansions of the most refined architecture.
More and more reputable construction companies use siding in standard and individual projects of country houses. The use of such siding and panels is the optimal solution for energy-saving structures made using a ventilated facade technology.
Under the reliable durable lining of vinyl siding and decorative panels, the insulation and supporting structures of the building are in ideal conditions and are stored almost forever. The lining itself is not difficult to replace once every half a century.
The appearance and texture of the surface of the siding and panels is easy to copy, but it is very, very difficult to achieve operational quality compliance with serious North American standards. To produce a quality product, you need to purchase good equipment, ensure the highest production culture, strict control of raw materials and products, the presence of all necessary additives.
Currently, none of the young competing firms can do this. Chinese, Polish, Belarusian, etc. Siding, unable to compare with the American and Canadian.
The Canadian company KAYCAN, launched the production of siding in 1974 and is one of the first in terms of quality, production and sales worldwide. The acquisition of such a siding is an economical, durable and very beautiful solution.
The American company NAILITE is a leading manufacturer of durable finishing materials (imitating natural, for exterior and interior wall cladding of all types of buildings). The vinyl panels of this company do not require maintenance, serve for a long time, and do not differ in appearance from the materials that they imitate: shingles, wood chips, brick or stone.
In the Russian market, these products are represented by VINILYUKS - a well-known company with a good name and reputation.
