If you want a dramatic appearance for the exterior of your house, choosing a nice siding will make a huge difference. It is important to look for materials and panels that suit the architectural style of your home, and your decision can give a new look to the neighborhood.  

Here are 6 options that you can use in your home. 

  1. Stucco Siding

If you want something more traditional, stucco siding is for you. It became popular in the 1950s and is a combination of cement, water, and inert material such as sand and lime. Plus, you can add whatever color you desire, and you will never need to be concerned with painting.  

  1. Stone Veneer Siding

This type of siding is for someone that is looking for something fancier. The stones bring an elegant look to the house, but this comes with an expensive cost. Some of the popular ones that have been used are granite, limestone, and slate, but the market has tons of options for you to choose from. 

  1. Cement Fiber Siding

If you want an authentic wood look and less maintenance, cement fiber siding is for you. Usually, this siding has the appearance of wood, stucco, or masonry, and the advantage of cement fiber is that it is fireproof, termite-proof, and may have a warranty of up to fifty years. Amazing, right?! 

  1. Wood Clapboard Siding

Wood clapboard is one of the sidings that is timeless because it will look beautiful after many years, which is a great benefit. What makes this ageless is that it is made from natural wood. 

  1. Brick and Brick Veneer Siding

Solid brick is durable, so you won’t need any patching or repairs for the first twenty years. They are made by fired clay, and you can find a wide variety of earth colors. The brick veneer is also attractive and durable, not like the solid brick but still a fantastic option. However, it’s an expensive material. 

  1. Cedar Shingle Siding

If you are looking for a natural, this option is right for you. With the earth colors, cedar shingles require less maintenance than wood, and you can minimize the peeling using a stain.
