When you think of fiberglass, you might think of that thin, wavy material often seen in industrial settings. That’s not what we’re talking about. Fiberglass house siding is a much newer product developed specifically to outlast other siding materials.
Read on to learn why this siding material has taken the industry by storm since its relatively recent invention.
Fiberglass House Siding: What Makes It The Modern Siding Of Choice
Homeowners who choose fiberglass house siding tend to be after the following benefits:
- Moisture resistance – Unlike most siding, fiberglass protects against moisture on two levels. First, the material itself is less prone to water damage and decay than traditional siding materials. Second, the system used to install the fiberglass creates an area between your home and the siding, allowing water to drain and evaporate before it can ever cause damage.
- Holds up over time – Fiberglass doesn’t react to the sun or changing temperatures. Plastic siding and aluminum siding both expand and contract as the seasons change, which causes them to warp. Over time, that warping leaves small cracks and crevices for moisture to penetrate. Because seasonal changes aren’t an issue for fiberglass, this type of damage is less likely.
- Ecologically-friendly – Sand is one of the primary ingredients in fiberglass. While sand isn’t a renewable resource, the processes used to obtain it and make fiberglass are far more environmentally friendly than methods used in the manufacture of other siding products.
Innovations don’t come often in the world of siding, so it’s no surprise this attractive new siding material has taken off fast. If you’re a homeowner who prefers to invest in high-quality materials that will last in the long haul, fiberglass house siding is an option to consider.
