Alcoa Vinyl Siding

Today’s consumers believe wholeheartedly in the old adage, “You get what you pay for.” They’re interested in product performance, low maintenance, workmanship and warranties. Exterior beauty is important to them, because they know that first impressions count.  We at All American Exteriors have the same belief.  That’s why our Alcoa Vinyl Siding installation is second to none. 

Here are a few trends and tips to help you with your Home Siding purchase decision:

  • Vinyl siding’s share of the market has approximately doubled in the last decade.
  • While vinyl siding has risen in popularity over the years, traditional wood materials are on a marked downswing.
  • Vinyl siding is the most preferred material overall in both new construction and remodeling. In addition, vinyl siding has become increasingly popular in use in all home segments, from starter homes to luxury homes.

Another topic that is a widely unknown fact is Vinyl Siding and its impact on the environment.  Many people think that vinyl is an environmental enemy. This is not accurate. It is actually a very environmentally friendly building material.  That is, once it is made, no other natural resource or energy has to be committed to maintaining it.  That is something you can’t say that about wood siding!

Vinyl siding uses less energy to manufacture than either wood or aluminum siding. It can also be recycled. Jobsite scrap, which usually is a minimum, can be ground up and used to make new vinyl siding.

In the event that vinyl siding is placed in a landfill, it is chemically stable. No harmful chemicals leach from the material to pollute the environment.

Hurricane Windows

Living in Florida means two things, one you get lots of sun and two there’s a certain part of the year in which the chances of a hurricane passing through your back yard becomes a very real issue.  Hurricane Impact Resistant Windows are a great way to hedge against any potential uninvited guests flying through your house. 

How can Hurricane Windows keep you safe? 

When flying debris breaks a window, it compromises the structural integrity of the home. This is because the sudden change in air pressure in a home can allow the roof to be carried away in the storm. And roofs are a vital part of the home. They are also quite expensive to replace. Additionally, a broken or leaking window can allow water seepage into the home, creating other types of damage. In order to avoid this, it is a good idea to get hurricane proof windows for your home. Hurricane proof windows are more than just special glass. They are also extra strong sashes and frames.

The High Velocity Hurricane Zone section of Florida Building Code requires that every exterior opening - residential or commercial - be provided with protection against wind-borne debris caused by hurricanes. We provide only best, impact-resistant products.

By having our Hurricane WinGuard Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors custom installed there’s no need for inconvenient, unsightly panel, accordion or rolldown shutters, plywood or other hurricane protection devices. Even when you’re away, WinGuard Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors guard your home against hurricanes and intruders with no effort, while reducing noise and providing UV protection. WinGuard with vinyl frames and standard insulated glass also provides enhanced energy efficiency.

There is no doubt that extra precautions need to be taken by those who live in storm prone areas such as Florida. The only windows that can go a long way toward keeping your home safe are hurricane windows.  Contact one of our local representatives to have a free estimate today!
