How New Siding Can Protect Your Home from the Winter Cold

Winter brings freezing temperatures, snowmelt and moisture, and vicious thaw cycles. All of this can have a major impact on the comfort of your home and it’s energy efficiency. Installing new siding for your Denver home is a great way to protect it from winter weather. Replacing your siding can help:

  • Prevent moisture damage caused by water run off and snow
  • Protect your home from winter storms, freezing rain, and wind
  • Add insulation to your exterior and lower your energy costs
  • Keep your home warm when temperatures start to drop
  • Protect your home from pests trying to get in through cracks or crevices

 

Winter-Hardy Siding Options: James Hardie & LP SmartSide

Not all siding is well-suited for Denver’s harsh winter weather. Some options like vinyl will have a hard time withstanding the freezing temperatures, ice, and snow and may be prone to splitting or cracking.

That’s why we recommend installing a durable option like James Hardie or LP SmartSide. Both of these brands are excellent choices and are very strong and weather-resistant. They’re specially designed for harsh weather and hold up well in climates like ours.
