Vinyl siding made of PVC sheet and varies in parameters depending on the manufacturer. It imitates wood, brick or stone cladding well. Fits to any exterior.

The disadvantage is that linear expansion must be taken into account during installation so that it does not deform with temperature drops. Wood paneling is made using an impregnation with an antiseptic and must undergo high quality drying. This protects the material from mold and dirt growth. It is often used to finish country style homes. The advantage of this types of siding is good insulation. The disadvantages include fire hazard and need for painting.
