Some homeowners might think that a home’s siding is merely just for show or meant to improve your home’s curb appeal. While they do increase your home’s curb appeal, they certainly do more than just that and affect your home positively in more ways than one. In today’s post, your James Hardie® siding expert, Precision #1 Contractors Inc. shares how your home’s siding effects and protects your home.
Even if your home’s siding is just a thin layer of your home’s exterior, it significantly contributes to your home’s insulation value, akin to that of a light jacket. When added to other insulating layers of your home such as the interior walls, they keep your home comfortable by keeping heat inside your home during the winter and retain cool air during the summer. Not only does this make your home comfortable, but it also makes it energy-efficient since you’ll have to rely less on your HVAC unit.
If you can visualize your own body, your home’s frame and beams act as the skeleton, while your siding acts as the skin which protects your home from nature’s harmful elements such as hail, heat, heavy windows, snow, and more. Coupled with proper maintenance from your siding contractor, and extra layers of protection, your siding can keep your family safe and comfortable while keeping your home intact and beautiful.
No matter what you do, your home’s structure will weaken over time, and this can show through cracks in your wall or loose frames. With a quality siding installed on your home, it provides an extra layer of protection against the elements and provides stability that can slow down the progress of your home’s deterioration coupled with proper repairs and regular cleaning.
