We have compiled the 10 most common vinyl siding problems in two parts that consumers should be aware of. This is part # 2 which lists problems 6 to 10 first and then I will go into detail about these problems. Problems 1 to 10 were previously posted. These are very important issues when considering vinyl siding for your home or building, most consumers are not aware of many of these problems.
- Can Hide Moisture Problems.
- Inadequate Insulation.
- Insufficient Color Choices.
- Can Become Brittle and Chalky.
- Lowers Property Value.
- Vinyl siding can be susceptible to moisture problems if you use pressure washers or clean the siding improperly. Moisture underneath the siding can quickly invade your home and lead to mold, cracking paint, and or damaged sheetrock and wallpaper.
- Vinyl siding does not offer good insulation. Newer varieties of the siding material come installed with foam, which offers better insulation, but, at a cost. However, most vinyl sidings require additional backup when it comes to insulation.
- Vinyl siding can crack and bend out of shape if it is exposed to high temperatures. Because dark colors absorb more heat, vinyl sidings are usually found only in lighter shades.
- Because vinyl siding is a plastic it can become brittle and chalky with time when exposed to the elements. Vinyl siding is not made with the intention to stand up to time, it will definitely not look the same after 5 to 10 years, in some cases even 2 years.
