For many people, choosing siding for their home is a matter of taste. They appreciate the look, color varieties, and the style it creates.  However, some homeowners may find that siding is the wisest choice for their needs.  To get a better idea of reasons you will want to choose siding over other exterior building materials, we have listed them below.

Mud is cleaned from siding easily

Do you have a driveway that causes mud or gravel to get kicked up onto the side of your home?  Especially if you have red clay mud surrounding your home, you may find that vinyl siding is the best choice for keeping your exterior looking neat and clean.  Unlike wood or masonry, vinyl siding does not succumb to the staining issues found in other exterior building materials.  It is quick and easy to wash away caked on mud on vinyl, and looks like new with little effort.

Extreme sun does not alter siding

When one side of your home gets a lot of direct sunlight, it can cause traditional building materials, like wood, some distress over time.  Worse, it can cause paint to dry out and start to flake.  In order to add some color to that area of your home while staving off the ill effects of direct sunlight, vinyl siding is the wise choice you have been looking for.  Over time, vinyl siding will not rapidly warp, change shape, or lose its color.

Water logging does not affect siding

One area of your home may be particularly prone to constant contact with water, and this can damage exterior building materials.  For instance, sprinklers can continuously spray the side of the house and cause the exterior materials to erode or deteriorate at a higher rate than the rest of the house.  Areas where there are larger gutter drainage pipes can also become damaged from water logging.  Alternatively, vinyl siding is extremely water resistant and will not change over time because it is frequently exposed to water.
