Home Remodeling How To Series: Exterior House Siding
October 29, 2008 5:13 amFirst let's define the term; a surface forming the outside of or bounding a thing. In this case the "thing" is a house. Now that is a fairly simple definition and does not emphasize the importance of what house siding actually does. Siding is meant to protect a building from the adverse effects of weather. It is essential to keeping out moisture and extreme temperatures and to maintaining the longevity of the house. Not only is siding vital to the integrity of the house but it is so important in the overall "curb appeal" as well.
