Best Siding For High Humidity Areas
Though its effects are often slow-moving and sometimes difficult to spot, humidity can have a major impact on a siding material. That’s why choosing the best siding for humidity is an essential decision that can help preserve a home’s aesthetic value.
Can Humidity Damage Siding?
Humidity is considered the single most important weather element to threaten a home’s siding. Over time, humidity compromises the siding’s paint which leads to substrate problems and internal moisture which damages the siding integrity.
Though aesthetically pleasing, natural wood suffers from moisture challenges associated with a naturally biodegradable material.
Excessive moisture and high/low temperatures can lead to issues with the vinyl installation or the product itself like buckling.
LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding is engineered to be an effective siding for high humidity, able to resist the effects of freeze-and-thaw cycles.
