Why New Siding Resists Fading

Tired of siding that looks washed out after just a few summers? Modern siding technology has come a long way in combating the sun's relentless UV rays, offering homeowners a much more vibrant and long-lasting finish. Here's why new siding holds its color better:  

Advanced Pigments

Unlike older siding that relied on less stable pigments, today's options utilize high-quality, UV-resistant pigments. These pigments are specifically engineered to withstand the sun's harsh radiation without breaking down as easily, leading to significantly less fading over time. This also means less painting for you over time. 

Protective Coatings

Many modern siding materials, particularly vinyl and fiber cement, feature durable, factory-applied coatings. These coatings act as a shield, deflecting UV rays and preventing them from directly impacting the color layer. This extra layer of defense greatly enhances color retention.  We offer both of these siding replacement options at Conservation Construction. 

Improved Manufacturing Processes

Our modern manufacturing techniques ensure a more consistent and thorough distribution of pigments throughout the siding material. This evenness helps prevent localized fading and contributes to a more uniform and long-lasting color. There are so many colors and options now that you can mix and match and create a truly unique look for your home. 

Material Advancements

Materials like fiber cement are inherently more resistant to fading than some older alternatives. Even vinyl siding formulations have been improved to include UV inhibitors directly within the material composition, offering another layer of protection against sun damage.  We also offer Cedar Ridge Siding which is excellent at fade resistance. 

Final Thoughts

In short, advancements in pigments, protective coatings, manufacturing processes, and the materials themselves mean that investing in new siding offers more than just an aesthetic upgrade. It provides a long-lasting, vibrant look for your home, resisting the fading that plagued older siding options.
