Composite Siding vs. Vinyl Siding

Composite Siding vs. Vinyl Siding - NewTechWood


Composite wood is an exterior siding made of scrap wood that’s compressed and bonded together with resins. Treated with chemical treatments to ward of fungi and insects, composite often comes pre-primed and ready to paint. It’s also available already finished with one of many styles we offer that mimic real wood.

Made from plastic resin, also known as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), vinyl is a human-made material combining fibers, fillers, binders and other materials. The manufacturing process heats and compresses the elements to form siding boards.

While vinyl siding options lack in providing proper insulation, they are easy to maintain and are resistant to wear as well as damage from insects. Known for its versatility, vinyl can retain its look for many years and is available in a range of colors, patterns and textures such as shakes, fish scales and lap. If you need better insulating properties, you can opt for insulating vinyl instead of the standard option, but it will raise the overall cost by about 15%.
