Hail Damaged Siding?
Has a recent hail storm blown through and in the process damaged part or all of your siding? You are not alone. There are dozens of other houses in the Denver Metro area that have been affected by this too. Hail damage brings down the value of your home and makes the curb appeal worse which is a double whammy for you.
Before you report the damage of your roofing and siding to your insurance company read ahead to know which siding will work best in the future to prevent that storm damage from ever happening. This way you won’t worry next time hail is coming because your siding will withstand the hail test. This is not always an easy test to pass as you might know.
Wind can whip hail right into the side of your house. Within minutes siding can be destroyed. Wood and Vinyl sidings are the easiest to chip, crack or break making it easy for water to get inside or underneath your siding. Once this happens, it’s only a matter of time before water can damage the foundation causing even worse problems.
So which siding is the best for your home so hail damage is a thing of the past? Both Fiber Cement Siding and Cedar Ridge Siding are the best choices for hail resistance. The key to both these products in hail is their durability and rigidity. Fiber Cement Siding is composed of sand, silica, glass, cement, and cellulose fibers. This results in a very dense rigid siding which doesn’t dent, chip or crack even upon impact. Special heating techniques of the paint on Fiber Cement allow it to resist chipping or peeling. Lastly it is extremely moisture resistant, so rain and hail will not be a problem. It’s safe to say this siding will stop damage and fading in its tracks.
Cedar Ridge Siding is also a comparable choice to Fiber Cement. It is extremely impact resistant and able to resist winds of up to 160 mph. It has and is the only siding with molded foam. This unique makeup will insulate and prevent any water from becoming trapped underneath the siding. Not only will this siding stand up to anything thrown its way, it will also save you a ton of money year round on energy bills. Its added insulation will also reduce the noise in your home by up to 45%. How crazy is that?
Lastly, both options above come in a multitude of color options so you can pick whichever matches your unique style. Both Cedar Ridge and Fiber Cement are great options for the Colorado homeowner. They are both resilient to hail and strong winds and hold up well in winter and summer. Both require a very low amount of maintenance over their life. Each include the lifetime manufacturer’s warranty.
