Don't think of it as expense...
• Siding
If you are considering new
siding for your home—look
at it as an investment, not as
an expense. e -finished, sict
ing quickly more than repitys
the initial cost of the applica-
tion in terms of reduced
painting bills.
Investment that repave)
For example, if it costs
$4,500 to put new aluminum
siding on an old peeling home
and $1,500 to repaint they
existing wood siding every
four years, the homeowner
would recover his initial in-
vestment after the third
painting (which would occur
in only eight years if the
home is it'need of immediate
painting now).
Since pre -finished alumi-
num siding is warranted for
20 to 40 years, the original
investment would be paying
a large dividend in terms of
reduced maintenance costs
for many years. In the past 30
years, over 11 million homes
have been sided with alumi-
num.

Expanded color range
Colors now range from
pastels to deep shades and
the earth tones; textures are
plain or 'embossed to resem-
ble any type wood shingle,
and intricate architectural
details can be worked out to
duplicate even original Vic-
torian trim.

best home investments
PRE -FINISHED ALUMINUM SIDING restored this
old colonial -style house to its original beauty, and alu-
minum trim preserved special architectural details
around windows and doors. Insulation installed be-
hind the panels helps reduce fuel use. With warranties
of up to 40 years, aluminum siding more than repays
its original cost by eliminating need for repainting.
Although vinyl plastic„
siding is now available, its
range of colors and finishes
is more limited. Also, vi-
nyl formulations differ from
manufacturer to manufac-
turer while aluminum re-
mains dependable because
the tnatlerial is standard.
Aluminum has proven to
be practical over a long
period of time even in damp
climates. It has resisted cor-
rosion where it has been in -

Consider final effect
In choosing siding, it .is
4 97
.. wiseto consider a house in its
entirety and know just how
' you want it tolook when it is
completely remodeled.
Some contractors even
provide a,, sketch of the
finished house when, they
give you an estimate. Most
will recommend that you
select insulated. raluminum
siding- to keep„ -your. house
cooler in summer and warm- .
er in winter. I •
Help .aye energy
There are several kinds of
inst 1 ng mate'rral =t`o e'1
save energy -insulating sqs=
tems are mesured by ther-
mal resistance values (R val-
ues) and the higher the
number, the better the insula-
tion properties.
For example, .,aluminum
siding over a sandwich of in=
sulation consisting of foam
plastic board, two layers of
reflector foil and an airspace
provided by 44 -inch furring
strips, has a. calculated R
value of 5.6-6.0.
Choose reputable contractor
Uninsulated siding, be it
111
aluminum, vin* _ ,,,astic, steel
or wood, has an R value of
less than one, little more than
standard brick or stone.,.
Choosing a reputable con-
tractor is just as important as
selecting the siding, for it is
his expertise \and experience
that will give you the results
you want. Ask to see alumi-
num siding jobs he has com-
pleted and talk with these
homeowners if possible.
