Minnesota homeowners know that northern climates are tough on the home. In optimal weather conditions, most siding products perform well, but some just can’t withstand the frozen tundra. Read on to learn the effects of frigid temperatures on vinyl siding.

Temperature

Vinyl is a type of plastic, and as such, is sensitive to temperature changes. Vinyl siding can become brittle and is prone to cracking in low temperatures. The material contracts in cold environments and expands when the weather warms up. If your house siding is compromised during the winter months, you may have costly water damage come spring.

Seams

Vinyl siding panels overlap and interlock, resulting in more than 130 seams on the average home. Visible seams may present a gateway for moisture, which will eventually rot the walls of your home. When put to the test with wind, hail, and snow, vinyl won’t perform as well as other cladding materials.

Wind

Strong winds are tough on any home, but particularly on vinyl siding. Vinyl cladding is lightweight and could lift off and be ripped from the home. In addition, missing sections are hard to replace, particularly if the siding color has faded with age and from exposure to the elements.

A Better Alternative

Properly installed steel siding can put your mind at ease with its many benefits:

• Affordability
• Ease of installation
• Water resistance
• Energy efficiency
• Aesthetics
• Versatility
• Minimum maintenance

Spotless & Seamless Exteriors is a proud contractor of United States Seamless®, a steel siding brand known for its unmatched quality, timeless beauty, and dependable warranties. We took a trip out to Klauer Manufacturing, a building product manufacturer in Dubuque, Iowa, to give you a glimpse of how our premium metal siding is made. View our highlight video and read on to learn more about seamless steel siding.

At Klauer Manufacturing, United States Seamless® siding is produced through a unique 10-step thermo bonding, coil-coating process. Beginning with a galvanized steel core, the siding is covered in the following layers:

• Pretreatment
• Nylon fibers
• Corrosion-Inhibitive Primer – applied to the solid steel core for corrosion protection.
• Water Resistant Backer – applied to the back for added corrosion protection.
• DuPont™ Teflon® Surface Protector
• Cool Paint Technology™ Infrared Reflective Pigments
• Ceramic Hybrid Coating Primary Color

Ceramic pigmentation provides long-term, high UV radiation color and gloss retention, formulated with cool roof technology that meets ENERGY STAR solar reflectance requirements. Ceramic hybrid coatings are made of a unique proprietary resin system that withstands acid rain and corrosive environments. This manufacturing process ensures a consistent color application, color retention, and long-lasting finish.

Exterior Remodel Before & After

 

 

SSE built a front porch with new footings, cedar, and stone.

 

SSE, a window contractor in Dayton, added new windows on both the front and lake sides of the home. The upper level stucco was removed along with the cedar siding on the rest of the house, and the rotten sheathing was repaired. SSE installed new U.S. Seamless steel siding on both the house and the garage, as well as Boulder Creek cultured stone on the upper front of the house, inside the new front porch, and on the entire façade of the garage. A breezeway now connects the house and the detached garage.
