vinyl siding
Plastic exterior panels
Vinyl siding is plastic paneling used to cover the exterior of buildings, typically houses.
It's cheaper and lower-maintenance than wood or aluminum siding, requiring no painting.
Vinyl siding became ubiquitous in American suburban construction from the 1980s onward: They replaced the old clapboards with vinyl siding.
It sometimes carries connotations of cost-cutting or aesthetic blandness.
