When it comes to protecting the outside of your home you have a wide variety of choices – wood clapboard, stucco, brick, fiber cement, and vinyl siding, just to name the more popular choice. Whatever you choose, it’s important to select a quality product, because next to your roof, siding is the most important element in protecting the exterior of your home from the elements, moisture, insects, rodents, etc. It also provides insulating value in addition to your home’s insulation, keeping the outside air where it belongs – outside.
One of the most popular siding products for homes is insulated vinyl siding such as Crane. Insulated vinyl siding is very energy-efficient, and because of the insulation behind it, it conforms well to uneven wall surfaces. It’s also a very low-maintenance siding product, and requires only a periodic hose-off to keep it looking good. Unlike wood or stucco, there’s no repainting or restaining.
There are other vinyl siding products out there, so why should you choose Crane insulated siding products? Crane has been a pioneer in the vinyl siding industry. In 1957 Crane introduced the first extrusion system to produce vinyl siding. And in the years afterward they’ve continued with innovative engineering to produce a top-quality product that looks good, holds up well, and provides an attractive alternative to natural wood siding products.
Insulated vinyl siding puts an additional protective layer between you and the outdoors, which can be a real plus in an area like Minneapolis which suffers sometimes harsh winters. Also, the rigid foam backing makes the siding product more durable and resistant to impact. It’s less likely to dent or cup like uninsulated vinyl siding products can do. Finally, the foam backing provides a noise buffer, so you’ll find it’s quieter inside your home.
With Crane vinyl siding you also get a product that will retain its beautiful color without fading, peeling, cracking, or chipping. The exterior side is finished with a layer that has the color going all the way through it, not just sitting on top. Crane siding is engineered in a variety of profiles and designs, and comes in a wide range of colors. You can enjoy the beautiful appearance of genuine wood without the upkeep, and for a lower cost.
If you’re looking for an economical yet practical siding product, consider taking a look at Crane insulated vinyl siding. You’ll appreciate the beauty it adds to your home, lower utility bills, an increase in home value, and more free time since you’ll spend less taking care of your home’s exterior.
