## Best House Siding for Cold Climates: Choose Vinyl Siding as a Weatherproof, Waterproof, and Beautiful Exterior Upgrade

With the first day of winter 2020 approaching, it’s time to consider winter home
improvement projects that will make your home look and feel cozy.

One of the winter home renovations to consider is new vinyl siding installation.
It’s ideal for preparing your house for winter with its insulated paneling that 
blocks heat transfer, keeping your home cozy all winter long.

## **What Makes Vinyl Siding Better than Wood?**

New England is full of homes with wood siding and cedar siding. While this type 
of siding feels nostalgic in our area, the truth is that it can do your home more
harm than good.

 * **Old wood and cedar shingle siding are prone to rot if not meticulously maintained.**
   Wet, soggy, and snow winters offer the potential for significant damage to wood
   exterior. In the spring, you might be met with rotted wood siding!
 * **Moisture can also damage the underside of the exterior, causing rotting and
   mold issues beneath the panels.**
 * Wood siding can easily catch fire, which is a significant concern during the 
   winter and holiday months. **Vinyl siding is engineered from PVC which can slow
   the spread of house fires. **
 * Vinyl siding** gives the look of wood without the maintenance**, complete with
   textured paneling and cedar shakes that appear split by hand. It is by far the
   best house siding for cold climates.
 * **Insulated siding can conserve energy in your home during the winter.** It will
   also help reduce heat loss as vinyl siding can insulate down to the wood studs.

Just like your clay pot snowman, your house siding must be able to withstand the
winter elements. Vinyl siding is by far the best siding for cold climates, equipped
with durable materials that will keep your exterior in tip-top condition.
