Understanding Your Siding Options
The right material not only defines the look of your house but also impacts its durability, maintenance, and energy efficiency.
At Seamless NWA, we install two of the most popular and proven options for homes in Northwest Arkansas: vinyl siding and fiber cement (Hardi Board).
This guide will help you understand the key differences so you can choose the best fit for your home, style, and budget.
Vinyl Siding
Affordable, versatile, and low-maintenance
Vinyl siding has earned its reputation as one of the most popular siding choices for homeowners. It's durable enough to handle Arkansas weather, yet flexible enough to fit almost any design style.
Benefits of vinyl siding:
Cost-effective: One of the most affordable siding materials available.
Low maintenance: Never needs painting; just an occasional rinse keeps it looking clean.
Durable and weather-resistant: Designed to withstand rain, heat, and humidity.
Variety of styles and colors: From classic clapboard to modern board-and-batten, there's a look for every home.
Energy efficiency: Insulated vinyl options can help improve your home's overall efficiency.
Best for: Homeowners looking for an attractive, budget-friendly, and long-lasting option that doesn't require ongoing upkeep.
Fiber Cement (Hardi Board)
Premium durability with a traditional wood look
Fiber cement siding, often known by the brand name Hardi Board, offers the timeless appearance of painted wood with superior resistance to damage from weather, insects, and rot. It's a smart investment for homeowners who want long-term value and strength.
Benefits of fiber cement siding:
Extremely durable: Resists warping, cracking, and rotting even in harsh conditions.
Fire and pest resistant: Won't ignite or attract termites.
Authentic look: Mimics the texture and depth of real wood without the maintenance.
Custom color options: Can be pre-finished in the color of your choice or painted after installation.
Long lifespan: Known to last decades when properly installed and maintained.
Best for: Homeowners who want a high-end look and exceptional durability, and are comfortable investing a bit more upfront for long-term value.
