Energy Clad - Comparison

Comparison

Whether you’re replacing existing siding or building a new home, you can install a variety of products: vinyl, pressboard, aluminum or steel, wood, brick, HardiePlank™ alone, or EnergyClad™ featuring HardiePlank™.

Each one of these choices has benefits in terms of initial cost, appearance, durability, resale value, heating and cooling costs, and security from rot, termites, fire and severe weather.

Overall, we think you’ll agree that EnergyClad™ is the best choice – whether you plan to sell your house in months (it’ll dramatically boost the value of your home) – or in decades (you’ll save tens of thousands in energy and maintenance costs and it will always look great!).

We assembled a panel of professionals to compare your siding choices in terms of a variety of parameters in order to create a “scorecard” for the different siding materials. Of course, every homeowner’s situation is different (for example, a homeowner planning to sell his or her home in the near future might weight the parameters differently, some neighborhoods don’t allow vinyl siding, etc.). But we think you’ll find that for just about every situation, there’s one clear choice: EnergyClad™.
