Vertical Vinyl Siding
When you think of siding, do you think of boards running along parallel to the ground? That is the old standard look of home building. The lines run sideways from one corner of the building to the next. It's a traditional style, and one that will probably never disappear.
Now think of those siding lines running vertically, from the ground, up to the roof line. What you are picturing is called vertical siding. When you look at a building with vertical vinyl siding, the word that comes to mind is "modern". The unbroken lines thrusting upward emphasize the height of a house, and make small houses look bigger. In some cases, the vertical lines help give very tall and unusually shaped buildings a clean and elegant look that horizontal siding can't always achieve.
Of course, the vertical design look, as modern as it tends to appear, is not really new. It is also called the "barn look," and it has been used for barn architecture for a long time. The difference is the use of vinyl siding material. The clean lines of vinyl siding make the vertical design look even stronger. The durability of the material guarantees that the building will continue to look new and elegant for a long time. The color and style choices available with vertical vinyl siding give designers and homeowners a wide range of creative appearances with which to work. The vertical vinyl siding panels can be used to produce any effect that old fashioned wooden board and batten siding produced. The difference is that vinyl will endure much longer than wood.
