The siding of your home is like a shell on a turtle. It protects the inside from the elements and the damage they can do to your home. With so many choices when it comes to siding, it is good to be aware of the different types of siding and their pros and cons.
Steel siding hasn’t been very common in residential applications, but recent improvements, both in the selection of styles and colors and in the pricing has led to it becoming a viable choice for a homeowner.
It is however important to know what type of rust protection you should choose for your steel siding. It depends somewhat on where you live. Anyone living by the ocean should avoid galvanized steel since saltwater ruins that coating. On the other hand, those with pools should avoid stainless steel, since chlorine damages that type of steel.
Doing a little bit of research beforehand can save you headaches and money.
