A house covered with siding can look attractive and neat.

However, fewer and fewer people choose this type of finishing for their residential buildings, and there is an important reason for this, according to designer Yulia Tychino , an expert at the online publication BelNovosti.

What are the disadvantages of siding that make people ultimately abandon it?

To begin with, let us recall that the fashion for this material came from the USA, where it is used due to the specifics of housing construction.

Many country and suburban houses here are built from cheap materials, almost from plywood, so siding has become popular as an inexpensive material that gives the building a decent look.

However, apart from its low cost, siding has no other advantages – only disadvantages begin.

This type of finishing is not environmentally friendly, it does not protect the building well from the aggressive impact of the environment, and installing siding is not an easy task.

Therefore, if you need to finish a permanent structure, and not a temporary one, it is better to use more expensive, but also higher quality materials that will last longer.

Earlier we talked about where to store things in the hallway if there is no space in the closet.
