What Is Vinyl Log Siding?
Vinyl log siding is siding made from vinyl backed by molded foam formed to resemble wooden logs. Vinyl, or polyvinyl chloride, is a type of plastic, as is molded foam. This siding is available in different colors and various surface treatments. Wood log siding today typically consists of half logs rather than full logs, which reduces both the weight and the cost. Cedar and pine are the most commonly used woods. Many prefer cedar siding because termites are not attracted to this wood and cedar also is rot resistant. Sidings using wood are mass produced and nailed to sides of homes. People can still build whole log siding, but at a higher cost than half log siding.
