Quality Vinyl Siding At Your Fingertips

You've made the decision: it's got to be vinyl siding. The maintenance-free beauty of this product made it an easy choice, but how do you choose among all the different brands on the market? You're a conscientious homeowner who wants to make a sound investment, but let's face it. You're no vinyl siding expert.

Don't panic. The Vinyl Siding Institute (VSI) has rescued thousands of homeowners just like you. VSI offers consumer-friendly resources to help you find vinyl siding products that have been independently inspected for quality and performance through the VSI Vinyl Siding Certification Program.

With an easy-to-use Web site and a toll-free phone number, VSI helps consumers across the United States and Canada find quality products for their new homes and for re-siding projects. With information about styles, brands and manufacturers, VSI's database features an elite list of products that have passed the rigorous tests of the industry standard for quality.

The VSI Vinyl Siding Certification Program applies this standard by putting siding products under the microscope of Architectural Testing, Inc., an independent third-party laboratory. Certification and inclusion on VSI's official list requires products to meet recognized standards in quality areas such as durability, wind resistance and weather resistance. Certification also means that vinyl siding plants undergo periodic, unannounced inspections to ensure the consistent quality of products on the list.

Although savvy siding contractors know to look for VSI's official certification logo on vinyl siding boxes, VSI's Web site and telephone hotline are simple ways for anyone to locate specific quality products in the style they desire. According to Jery Y. Huntley, VSI's executive director, more and more consumers are realizing that VSI offers credible and reliable information about vinyl siding. With more than 1,500 people visiting the Web site or calling VSI each month, VSI has ensured that quality vinyl siding is just a mouse click or a phone call away.
