Sidings can be of several types and made from different materials including wood, stone, cement fiber, aluminum, vinyl and asbestos among other material. A wood siding provides your home with a classy elegant look that is difficult to imitate. Even with wood sidings you have several choices - from cedar to wood shingle sidings and engineered wood sidings. The choice you make will depend on the style of your home and your budget for the project.
The wood siding can either be fixed to a base of solid panel sheathing, or it can be directly fastened to the walls of your home. In fact, you can even fix wood siding to the siding that currently exists in your home. Usually a thin sheet of felt or house-wrap is inserted between the wall and the wood siding to prevent water infiltration. The wood siding provides protection for your home from rain, wind and sun. It also defines the style for your home.
