Siding

Siding is the exterior covering; which is installed to a house as a protection from the weather and other outside disturbances. Aside from protection, this is an important aspect of the house. This is because it gives beauty to the structure of the house. Needless to say, more aesthetic beauty would mean higher value for the property.

Siding can be formed with a sheet of materials, and vertical or horizontal boards; which are popularly known as weatherboarding. In installing the siding, the main objective is to avoid the rain and the water that would infiltrate the joints. You can avoid these by overlapping, sealing, covering or creating an interlocking joint; which will act as a rabbet.

The siding can be made of plastic, wood, metal and masonry. It can also be attached straight to the house or building. This is whether it has wood or sheathing structure, it really does not matter.
