Have you always imagined living in a log cabin nestled in the woods? It's an American icon of frontier days gone by. High building and maintenance costs often make this home unobtainable.
Well, vinyl manufacturers have a solution--log vinyl siding--that allows you to turn your current house into a dreamy, cozy log cabin with the appearance of an authentic log home.
Why choose log vinyl siding
The product looks like cedar, pine or other woods. Once installed, you nor anyone else will be able to tell the difference between the vinyl product and the real wood without getting up close and really inspecting the siding.
Other advantages are that it's:
- Cost-effective
- Versatile, with style and color options
- Immune to pests
- Durable, withstanding extreme temperatures and fading
- Maintenance free, not needing any staining or treatments
The initial cost of log vinyl siding is much less than that of real logs, ranging from $3 to $15 per square foot. If you're interested in it for your home, invite your local vinyl siding manufacturer or contractor to give you an estimate for materials and installation labor, and ask about a warranty. If you're a seasoned DIYer, you may be able to install the siding yourself.
Log vinyl siding is a great way to achieve rustic architectural styling of your home without great expense.
