What vinyl siding means
Vinyl siding is PVC siding made in lap, shake and vertical profiles. It hangs loosely on nails so it can expand and contract with temperature.
Where it matters on a siding job
Nailing too tight is the classic install mistake; panels buckle on the first hot day. Quote trim pieces such as J-channel, corners and soffit separately from the square footage, since trim can be a big part of the material on a cut up house.
