Vinyl Siding is “Green”

As we’ve mentioned, more people are demanding environmentally friendly products, which is why more people are choosing vinyl siding to cover their homes.

First of all. Vinyl siding is made from 100% non-toxic, safe and renewable materials. Each panel is made out of a mix of oxygen, salt water and natural gas, which are all readily available and very renewable.

Also, nearly every scrap of vinyl siding is recyclable, which means almost no waste. The makers of vinyl siding are constantly striving to do even better, and their goal is to someday soon see zero vinyl scraps in our dumps and landfill sites.

And finally, it’s one of the most energy-efficient types of siding that you can use. This means less heat and air conditioning will escape your home and less wasted energy.

It’s Ok to save some money while you save the world.

If you’re building a new home, or looking to boost its curb appeal to sell it, you’re going to want to take a serious look at vinyl siding.
