What Type Of Siding Lasts The Longest?

Here are three of the most-popular, durable, and longest-lasting siding options on the market:

• Fiber Cement Siding: Made from a mixture of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, fiber cement siding is known for its durability and resistance to moisture, rot, and insects. It can last up to 50 years or more with proper maintenance.

• Brick Siding: Brick is a timeless and durable siding material that can last for centuries. It is resistant to fire, rot, and insects, and requires very little maintenance.

• Metal Siding: Metal siding is a durable and long-lasting option that can resist damage from hail, wind, and other weather conditions. It can last 50 years or more with proper maintenance.

When considering your home’s siding options, keep in mind the maintenance required to preserve it, its environmental impact, the cost of the material, and your climate zone. Wood siding is eco-friendly, but it requires more maintenance than other siding options on the market. Metal siding is gaining popularity with its easy installation process, extreme durability, and little-to-no maintenance, but it offers little insulation and is not soundproof. And brick siding will last 100+ years, but it’s one of the most-expensive siding options to install. 

Replacing your siding not only improves your home’s defense against Mother Nature, it also boosts the value of your home, creating greater curb appeal and refreshing your home’s overall look.
