siding panels

Outer wall covering

Siding panels are prefabricated sections of material used to cover and protect the exterior walls of buildings.

They come in various materials—vinyl, aluminum, wood, fiber cement—and interlock or overlap to form a continuous surface.

We need to replace the damaged siding panels on the north side of the house.

The panels provide weather resistance and determine much of a building's outward appearance.
