How To Find Siding That Keeps Its Good Looks
Beauty is not just exterior deep. Before investing in any siding be sure to find the one that that gives the best return over the lifecycle of the exterior. Curb appeal should not be sacrificed for high performance, and vice versa.
For siding that looks as good in twenty years as it does today, look for material that has proven high resistance to:
- Fading and Dulling - UV colorfastness is where lower quality siding tends to “ugly out” quickly. Lower quality siding can lose color and the top coat of gloss where it gets sun exposure and weather exposure. It can happen in uneven patches, well before it’s useful lifetime is up. Engineered and other wood-look sidings cannot be painted or stained, just replaced.
Interested in how they test for UV resistance and other threats to your siding? 2 minutes videos, like this one for colorfastness and appearance, show the high standard testing done for Pura NFC by Trespa.
Exterior siding has to do more than look pretty, (though it should do that, too!) It has to protect your exterior walls from water, bugs, wind and storms. These more traditional residences use Pura Mystic Cedar and a rainscreen installation show off the design elements and resist the weather elements.
- Warping - Siding material with a high PVC content, like engineered siding and vinyl, will more easily warp or get wavy from exposure to sun rays and heat. PVC based siding will not spring back into shape and the warp can get worse over time.

In other words, will it warp when it gets hot?

Scratches, Punctures, and Splitting - Storm debris, high winds, and backyard ball games can all pose a threat to your siding. Holes, dents, and splitting not only can make your exterior look bad, it is costly to repair and can let in water and insects. Which isn't good since that leads to mold and rot or damage.

But What About Siding Maintenance?
Another good point to consider. Decide how much maintenance you want to do, from cleaning to repairs. The more durable a siding is the less you will have to do. All sidings will need cleaning as needed, and vary from simple soap and water to specific cleaning supplies.
