Smart Home? Smart Siding


Today’s home construction seamlessly improves any owner’s life in a variety of ways, so if you’re planning the build of a smart home, be sure to check out the latest in technology and materials.

A smart house starts with smart materials.

 

What’s a “smart” house?

Quality, newly-constructed homes are built to meet the demands of busy families, and to utilize the latest technology to handle the routine operation of a family home.
These homes are:

  • heated and cooled using deep core thermal systems that draw energy from the earth.
  • warmed using radiant heat that warms mass, not air, so you and your family stay comfortable on the coldest or hottest days for less money.
  • convenient, with automated lighting that turns on and off as you enter and leave a room, sound that follows you around the house, remote access from any smartphone – today’s smart house makes life simpler.
  • green, using solar and wind to power the space, to use shade trees to keep the home cooler for less, and to use siding, windows, and doors that keep the interior of your smart home comfortable no matter what the weather is like outside.

Initially, a smart home may cost you more for all the extra features like automated thermostats and CCTV, but over time, homeowners of smart houses earn back their investment each month with lower heating and cooling bills, no matter the climate.

 

Wood-Toned Composite Siding: Keeping It Cozy

Energy conservation is essential to the efficient operation of any smart home. It doesn’t make any sense to add efficient, in-floor radiant heat if that heat escapes from a drafty home.
The exterior of smart homes are often built with wood-toned composite siding to keep the cold out and the warmth in.

When considering the siding of your new build or upgrade, you have lots of options – from shake cedar to aluminum and vinyl, to lightweight wood composite constructed from high-density recycled plastic and wood fibers.

Clapboard siding is popular in many regions, and wood shingles are still used, though homeowners quickly discover just how much maintenance wood and weather require to keep a home looking clean and well-kept.

Wood requires regular staining and sealant to keep it looking good, and keeping it free from mildew and mold.

Aluminum and vinyl siding don’t look real. The have a shiny patina that just doesn’t look natural – even from the road. These popular siding materials are easy to clean up but they’re also susceptible to dents and dings. Lower `grade aluminum or vinyl siding won’t help keep out the cold, either.
