Vinyl
Vinyl for house siding was first introduced in the 1950s and has since become Ottawa Siding Contractor’s number one choice in siding due to its cost-effectiveness, long-lasting durability, and widespread appeal with many different choices in color and style.

Fiber Cement
This material dates back to the early 1900s, where fiber cement siding used to contain asbestos to add strength and stability. However, as research and documentation regarding the health risks related to asbestos became widespread, it was used less and less. It was not until the 1980s that building materials introduced a new, cellulose reinforced fiber cement product to be used instead. Today, asbestos is not used in buildings, having been completely replaced with the safer version.
There are typically two main reasons why people choose fiber cement over the other options. One of the most popular reasons is because it has an eye-catching curb appeal that looks very realistic. Additionally, many choose this option because when it is installed correctly by Ottawa Roofers, it does an excellent job of keeping out moisture, and can even last for more than fifty years.
Aluminum
Being strong and durable is a crucial and important aspect of any home reparation project.
Choosing aluminum siding provides you with a tough, long-lasting product that easily protects you against rot, rust, and mildew build-up, complete with a 100% waterproof guarantee. This material can also offer many great insulating properties, in fact, thicker gauge metal has been known to insulate a home even better than some vinyl siding options.
This choice in investment can save you a lot of money, time, and stress in the long run. Aluminum siding will only require a good wash and fresh coat of paint after several years of use to have kept it looking brand new.
