Have you ever looked at a neighbor’s home and noticed that the vinyl siding was buckled or wavy? It is a common problem that is caused by a number of things. Among them are compression stresses, shrinkage, moisture, warped walls and periodic episodes of expansion. Thankfully, there are ways to achieve a beautiful, sided exterior that does not succumb to buckling or waving and Tulsa Renew is familiar with them all:

Choose the Right Siding Material

Choosing the right siding materials from the get-go will help greatly reduce incidents of buckling and waving. Our siding contractors prefer fiber-cement siding, a mixture of cellulose fiber, cement and sand. We have found that it is the best choice when it comes to keeping buckle and wave related problems at bay. This is particularly the case when the panels are combined with Linebacker foam siding installation.
Linebacker foam siding helps beat back many of the common causes of exterior defects. For example, its insulation qualities guard against weather-related shrinkage and expansion. It also serves a corrective barrier in situations where a home’s exterior has already buckled due to compression stresses, warped walls and moisture. Of course choosing fiber cement and Linebacker foam siding is just the beginning.

Use Proper Installation and Construction Techniques

In order to fully guard against exterior defects, siding contractors must use the latest, proper installation and construction techniques too. For instance, some homes may be lacking the following:

• Well-Positioned, Thermal Bridges
• Adequate Insulation
• Proper Nail Spacing
• Moisture Protection
• Flashing

If they are, those construction problems will ideally need to be resolved. Once resolved, siding contractors will have a level surface to work with, which will be further enhanced with the use of the right materials.
