It’s impossible to have exceptional curb appeal without a high-quality siding material. Aside from beauty, your siding protects your home from moisture and other elements and contributes to your home’s energy efficiency. 

In this post, we discuss how siding affects your home’s interior.

Prevents Water Damage

Quality siding keeps moisture from seeping into your living spaces. The substrate or concrete walls can suffer from water damage and mold growth if you don’t have durable siding. Moisture can weaken the substrate and cause poor indoor air quality and significant structural issues over time.

That said, replacing your siding with reliable materials matters. Poor quality siding or installations can cause warping, rotting and discoloration.

Improves Energy Efficiency

Due to their diminished quality, old siding materials tend to allow drafts to enter your home and force your heating and cooling system to work harder and consume more energy. With new siding, you can improve your home’s energy efficiency.

Some siding products come with additional insulation to keep your indoor spaces warm in winter and cool in summer. To maximize your energy savings, make sure to consult your contractor regarding the appropriate R-value for your siding and insulation.

Increases Resale Value

New siding can boost your home’s aesthetics and overall value. You can also highlight the siding’s protective capabilities when putting your property on real estate listings. This can help you have an easier time finding quality leads that can offer good prices for your property.
