Vinyl Siding Some people may not consider Vinyl siding as a composition siding. In our opinion, however, the high use of Vinyl siding as a replacement product for failing LP®, Cladwood®, Ominiwood®, and other types of materials is going to become very important in years to come. Problems may already be starting to show up. Picture, if you will, a home covered with LP siding that has significantly failed. There may already be woodrot in exterior walls and structural members. If the siding is not removed before new siding is installed, the woodrot and structural damage can be expected to go un-noticed. There is a correct way and an incorrect way to install vinyl siding. If improperly installed (or if installed under one of the exception guidelines) directly over failed manufactured wood siding, there is a potential for condensation to build up on the interior side of the vinyl siding product and promote the continued growth of woodrot damage. The same can be held true for aluminum siding. There are many vinyl and aluminum siding manufacturer’s in and outside the United States. Their products abound. We have provided vinyl installation instructions from ABTco® in this CD. We feel that should you take the time to read the material, you will recognize conditions that should be looked for that may be symptoms of conditions conducive to damage from wood destroying organisms.
