Vinyl siding is a durable, aesthetically pleasing, and cost-effective option. However, many homeowners overlook this material as a result of certain widespread misconceptions surrounding it. Here, A1 Siding and Roofing separates myth from reality:
Myth #1: Vinyl Siding Generates Dioxin, Which Is Bad for Your Health
Dioxin is a toxic gas produced from the burning of certain materials. While the manufacturing process of vinyl siding does generate dioxin, the amount released is less than one-half of one percent of the total gas released into the atmosphere. Most of the dioxin in the atmosphere comes from volcanoes, forest fires, and burning wood.
Myth #2: Vinyl Is Harmful to the Environment Because It Is a Synthetic Material
Although vinyl is synthetic, it can last for decades, making it a sustainable option. It withstands heavy downpours and strong winds, and also requires minimal upkeep to retain its beauty. Unlike wood, it does not require contaminants like paint. Materials that have a long service life are the ones that can help make the environment better. As the premier siding contractor, we offer premium vinyl siding from Mastic Home Exteriors for lasting benefits.
Myth #3: Vinyl Siding Makes My Home More Vulnerable to Fires
This is false. Vinyl actually boosts your home’s fire protection, as it withstands combustion.
