It is widely known that the construction of the foundation, the box and the roof of a house is only 30% of its total cost. At least 30% of the funds go to domestic work and, finally, 40% - the price of the facade. At the same time, the comfort of living in the house and its cost effectiveness depends on the exterior finish. Vinyl siding is one of the most successful facade materials for both the new building and the restoration of the old one. It is lightweight, does not increase the load on the foundation, is quickly and easily mounted, and can also be part of the effective weatherization of the house.
The popularity of this facade material led to the fact that there are several dozens of large siding manufacturers in the domestic market. In the construction supermarkets there are many stands of such companies with samples of materials, and they all have an attractive appearance, a large selection of decors and, according to the vendors, excellent characteristics. However, after several years of operation, it is often found that the facade has faded, and the panels have been deformed under the influence of temperature differences. Of course, in order for siding to serve for a long time, it must be properly installed, but the main thing after all is the quality of the material itself.
Therefore, the choice of the manufacturer is very important. There are several simple criteria to distinguish a reliable company:
- The term of work in the market of finishing materials. If a company manufactures siding for several decades, its facade panels are used in real houses all this time. And their quality is well known to builders and ordinary customers, whose reviews and form the reputation of the company.
- Availability of certificates of conformity, test reports of products, implemented a quality control system.
- Width of choice of shades, decors and additional elements.
- A large dealer network. Means prompt resolution of issues with delivery, marriage or return.
This review presents manufacturers of siding with the best reputation in the Russian market, working for more than a dozen years and recommended by experienced installers. In the distribution of places in the ranking were taken into account:
- price-quality ratio;
- customer reviews;
- availability of additional elements and fixing systems in the company's assortment;
- results of siding testing in independent laboratories.
