As you know, in Colorado Springs, hail is a real problem. It can strike anytime during spring, summer, or even fall. Some sidings are great a repelling hail. Other siding choices are not. So which siding is best ranked for hail resistance? The best brands are made of composite materials.
What is Composite Siding?
Composite siding is a type of building cladding made of different materials bonded with resins. They are often impregnated with chemicals to resist fungi, fire, and insects. They come pre-primed and ready to paint with one of the many rich colors offered by the manufacturer. They look great, last a long time, and almost perfectly mimic the look of real wood. James Hardie and LP SmartSide are the two best composite sidings on the market.
