Vinyl Siding
A popular, affordable siding material made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) that requires minimal maintenance.
Why It Matters for Homeowners
Why it matters: vinyl is the cheapest siding option and the fastest to install, but it has two real downsides in Southern California. First, dark colors fade fast under direct sun. Second, vinyl can warp from radiant heat off a paved driveway, a south-facing brick wall, or even a poorly placed barbecue. It is a fine budget choice for shaded or north-facing walls; it is the wrong choice for full-sun south-facing walls without a heat-resistant grade.
