Choosing vinyl siding for your home is a great way to add value and make your house more energy efficient. Vinyl siding is made from a durable polymer resin and comes in two distinct materials: straight and Dutch lap. Straight refers to the flat, horizontal surface of the siding, while Dutch lap refers to the slightly rounded edge that’s created when two pieces of vinyl overlap. Straight lap is the most common type of vinyl siding, but it does not offer the same aesthetic appeal as half-round, which mimics the look of the natural wood grain. Half-round offers a rustic yet modern finish that’s ideal for homes with historic styles or beach houses. Half-round is also easier to install than straight, it can be installed by anyone with basic DIY skills! So what are you waiting for?
