Reliable and durable – this is the description used in advertising when talking about siding.
But before you decide on such a home decoration, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, advises you to think about whether such a step will be a really good idea.
Vinyl siding
This type can be called the most popular, and all because of its low price and ease of installation.
The disadvantage of the cladding is that under the influence of sunlight it begins to emit harmful substances - primarily chlorine, which will accumulate in the bodies of the residents of the house.
Metal siding
Covering a house with metal siding can lead to the so-called “microwave effect,” which causes interference with cell phones, the Internet, etc. To be fair, scientists are still debating this.
One thing is certain: in the event of wind, rain and hail, the house turns into a real rattle.
High-quality soundproofing can solve the problem, but it costs a lot of money.
