A Different Look With Cedar Shake Vinyl Siding
Most people who get vinyl siding just get the basic vinyl lap siding. If you want to do something a little different, consider getting cedar shake vinyl siding. There are a lot of different looks you can achieve with this sort of siding, and it will make your house stand out a bit more. Cedar shake vinyl siding is actually a lot more realistic now than it used to be as well. This siding is a lot easier to deal with than actually getting cedar shakes, and a lot cheaper too.
Vinyl Shake offers a lot of different options to choose from if you are interested in cedar shake vinyl siding. You can get staggered shake, split shake, shingles, or shapes (such as hexagon, half cove, octagon, fish scale, mitered corner, or square). Colors include snow, toffee, egg shell, driftwood, almond, shadow, seashell, moonlight, biscuit, slate, putty, shale, Sahara, moss, oatmeal, juniper, Oceanside, key lime, papaya, lemonade, coconut, and blueberry. The molds were designed using real cedar, and you won’t have a repeat in the pattern for forty feet. The vinyl is also designed so you don’t have to line up locks so you don’t have as much waste. One person can easily install these five foot cedar shake vinyl siding panels without special equipment. A box of 10” staggered shakes that covers 100 square feet costs around $240.
