Why Vinyl Siding Is More Sustainable Than Other Claddings

A recent Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability (BEES) study discovered that vinyl and insulated vinyl siding have better Environmental Impact Score than other exterior materials. The study used 11 impact categories to determine areas where vinyl siding is eco-friendlier than other claddings.

In this post, your local roof repair expert, Home Pro Exteriors, discusses how vinyl and insulated vinyl siding has a lower environmental impact compared to other materials.

Vinyl VS Other Claddings

The Vinyl Siding Institute says that vinyl and insulated vinyl siding have significantly lower impacts than fiber cement in all environmental impact category. The average vinyl siding is just 19 percent of average fiber cement’s ozone depletion impact and 21 percent of fiber cement’s global warming impact.

Compared to cedar board, vinyl siding has lower impacts in ozone depletion, smog, global warming, acidification, eutrophication and non-carcinogenic categories. The category where vinyl performs better than cedar is the eutrophication, with only 13 percent impact.

Vinyl siding has lower impacts than brick and mortar in every category except for the primary energy demand-renewable category. Opposed to brick and mortar, vinyl siding excels in the smog category.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself...

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
