Siding That Looks Like Real Wood
Who doesn’t love the look of real wood siding? It’s textured and beautiful! But there is a downside to that look as well. Real wood siding is not the greatest insulator on its own. Old wood siding which is ancient should be replaced with its new energy efficient counterparts such as Vinyl, Cedar Ridge, or James Hardie Siding. Keep reading to learn how modern manufactures get that textured wood look, but it’s actually made out of different materials which last longer and never have to be painted again.
How Do They Make Siding Look Like Real Wood?
Manufacturers use machines which create authentic texture on the planks that mimic the textures in real wood. If you run your fingers across the planks they even feel like real wood. That means from near or far your house will have the authentic look of real wood, but it’ll protect your home better in the long run. Different manufacturers have different textures they use, but the good news is that you can look at all the options before you buy so you can pick out the texture you like the best.

Wood has a timeless look that creates instant curb appeal, loved by both builders and home buyers.
