How North Carolina Weather Affects Vinyl Siding
Durham’s climate presents unique challenges for home exteriors:
Summer Heat & UV Exposure: Lower-quality vinyl fades, warps, and becomes brittle. Our premium vinyl includes UV inhibitors that prevent these problems.
High Humidity: Creates conditions for mold and mildew growth. Proper installation with adequate ventilation and regular cleaning keeps siding looking fresh.
Temperature Swings: Rapid temperature changes cause materials to expand and contract. Proper installation techniques accommodate this movement, preventing buckling or gaps.
Occasional Ice Storms: Freeze-thaw cycles can damage inferior siding. Quality vinyl resists this damage effectively.
We understand these challenges and install vinyl siding systems specifically designed to perform in North Carolina’s climate.
