New Siding Can Help Prevent Sun Damage
New Siding can absolutely help prevent sun damage to your home. That is great news for homeowners who live in Colorado as we have such a high UV index. Read the article to learn how new Siding can prevent sun damage.
UV Protection
Cedar Ridge, Vinyl, and James Hardie are designed to resist ultraviolet radiation from the sun. UV rays can cause fading, discoloration, and degradation of older siding materials. Newer siding options, such as vinyl, fiber cement, and cedar ridge, often come with UV-resistant coatings that help maintain their color and structural integrity over time.
Reflective Surfaces
These siding materials which we sell at Conservation Construction are manufactured with reflective surfaces that bounce back a portion of the sun’s energy. This can help reduce heat absorption and prevent the siding from becoming excessively hot. Cooler siding temperatures can also contribute to a more comfortable interior climate and potentially lower cooling costs.
Insulation and Thermal Regulation
Some types of siding, like insulated vinyl siding or composite materials like cedar ridge, provide an additional layer of insulation for your home. This can help regulate indoor temperatures by minimizing heat transfer through the walls, which in turn reduces the impact of direct sun exposure on the interior.
Color Fade Resistance
Vinyl, Cedar Ridge and Fiber Cement are all engineered to resist color fading caused by prolonged sun exposure. These materials are formulated to retain their original color for extended periods even when exposed to extreme weather. They maintain their aesthetic appeal of your home’s exterior. They are so good at resisting fading that you never have to paint again. How cool is that?
Durability and Longevity
These siding materials are often more durable and weather-resistant than older options. They can withstand the effects of sun exposure, extreme weather including heat, hail, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations, without showing signs of significant damage.
Maintenance and Protection
The new siding we offer at Conservation Construction means less maintenance than older, worn-out siding. Properly maintained siding provides a protective barrier against the elements, including the sun, which helps prevent moisture intrusion, warping, and other forms of damage.
Preventing Cracking and Warping
Extreme heat from the sun like we get in Colorado can cause older siding materials to crack, warp, or deteriorate. New siding materials are designed to be more resilient and less prone to these types of damage, helping your home maintain its structural integrity.
Improved Ventilation
All of the siding options we sell incorporate advanced ventilation systems that allow air to circulate between the siding and the wall. This airflow helps prevent the buildup of heat and moisture, both of which can contribute to sun damage over time. We use a specialty house wrap that prevents stagnant water and allows the house to breathe for more stable temperatures all year long.
