History of Vinyl Siding

Since its founding in the mid-twentieth century, vinyl siding has emerged as a substitute for aluminum siding. The earliest vinyl gained a bad reputation; the inferior materials of the day had a tendency to crack and sag.

But today’s high-tech plastic and vinyl materials combined with modern manufacturing techniques have turned vinyl siding into an exceptionally versatile and high-performing choice for cladding. 

So, vinyl siding evolved during the 1970s as a high-quality material, useful for all purposes.
