The cost of installing vinyl siding is a one-time cost. After that, it becomes a saving. Alumi­ num will need painting after a while, especially in coastal areas where corrosion is an ever-present danger. Wood looks beautiful when freshly painted. Unfortu­ nately, it needs a fresh paint job every few years to main­ tain its pristine appearance, as well as to prevent rot and deterioration. Why does vinyl siding look so neat? The crafts­ manlike appearance of GAF Vanguard vinyl siding is based upon accurately form­ ed panels with nailing slots at the top edge and a locking flange at the bottom one. The flanged edge overlaps and covers the nailed edge to hide the nailheads. The result is an unusually trim and neat ap­ pearance. Unlike aluminum, a metal and a very good conductor of electricity, vinyl is a non­ conductor and is actually used for insulation in the electrical industry. It doesn't need grounding, cannot at­ tract lightning, and will not interfere with radio or televi­ sion reception. Do you like a quiet house? Because vinyl is a plastic, it tends to muffle the sound of rain and hail. Aluminum sid­ ing, on the contrary, mag­ nifies these sounds and creates a drumbeat effect. Do your kids like to play ball in the yard? Vinyl siding simply flexes under impact and then returns to its origi­ nal shape. Sidings made of aluminum are easily dented by a child's baseball. What kind of person are you? If you are a dedicated housepainter, love to spend money unnecessarily, and like to live in a noisy environ­ ment, vinyl siding is ob­ viously not your type of siding. If, on the contrary, you enjoy beauty, money in the bank, and a home which is quiet and tranquil, invest in vinyl siding now. It's a once in a lifetime decision you will never regret. Vinyl siding is not for wor­ riers, or dedicated house- painters. If, on the contrary, you are the kind of home­ owner who likes peace and quiet, money in the bank, and a beautiful home that re­ quires minimum mainte­ nance year after year, then vinyl siding is for you. Designed to fit the needs of the space age for a super- tough material superior to previously known pro­ ducts, solid vinyl siding is acclaimed by happy home­ owners as the most desirable new siding material in both new home construction as well as remodeling. What are the advantages of vinyl siding? A typical ex­ ample is GAF Corporation's Vanguard vinyl siding, re­ ported to be resistant to the destructive forces which attack wood, corrode metals, and otherwise change and destroy commonly used building materials. Compare vinyl with wood, for example. Vinyl siding is unaffected not only by the elements but also the destructive attacks of ter­ mites and vermin, as well as woodpeckers. Wood requires painting every few years at constantly increasing costs because of inflation. Solid vinyl siding never needs painting, since the color is locked into the vinyl itself. The savings, over a period of twenty years, can help pay for a child's college education. Do you like a house that looks good and stays neat and attractive year after year with a minimum of mainte­ nance? Vinyl is obviously the siding for you. Because the same uniform color is present throughout, vinyl will stay new-looking year after year. Since it is im­ pervious to most liquids, it may actually be washed when necessary with mild soap and water to remove weathering marks, stains, bird droppings, dust, etc. Pollutants, such as acids from automobile exhausts, which destroy metals and discolor other materials, have no effect on this wonder material of our time. In happy homes he saw the light Of household fires gleam warm and bright. --Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "IT LOOKS MORE LIKE WOOD than wood itself!" That's how one happy homeowner describes Vanguard vinyl siding from GAF, which combines space-age super-toughness with the traditional appearance of wood grained clapboard. Solid vinyl siding presents an unusually trim and neat-appearance not only at the time of installation but for years afterwards with minimum maintenance. Unlike other sidings, vinyl never needs painting.
