Combining two or more siding materials and profiles creates contrast that can add complexity and sophistication to your home’s exterior. In today’s post, the residential roofing contractors at Dior Construction explore creative ideas for mixing and matching siding options to create a unique and stunning exterior.
Let’s begin with how different siding options create differences in visual contrast. If you were to have your house’s exterior in just one color, the differences in texture should be nevertheless distinctive. Contrast can be achieved with the following considerations:
A typical house exterior color palette consists of three colors: one for the roof, one for the siding, one for trim and similarly smaller sections. This is not a hard and fast rule, as you can add a fourth color — perhaps even a fifth — to the exterior color palette. If you don’t want to stray from the main colors, use different shades of the same base color.
When combining different siding materials, you have to consider the differences in their maintenance requirements. Vinyl siding typically requires nothing more than water and dish detergent to keep clean, while wood siding requires a more thorough cleaning and waterproofing routine. James Hardie fiber cement siding, in comparison, are available as unpainted boards, as well as low-maintenance factory-applied outer coatings.
