Is Vinyl or Metal Soffit Better?

-
Vinyl Is Low Maintenance
-
Vinyl soffits provide a durable, low-maintenance alternative to metal soffits. They are easy to clean, dent-resistant and provide a low-key, unobtrusive look to your home. Vinyl soffits are easy to find in colors and styles that complement your existing home exterior.
Aluminum Is Durable
-
Aluminum soffits provide energy efficiency, are more fire-resistant than vinyl soffits and are fairly simple to install. However, aluminum siding is being increasingly phased out of the building industry, and may be more difficult to find.
-
Bottom Line
-
Both types of soffit are durable and long-lasting, and neither will rust or need to be painted. Base your decision on the rest of your home. Choose a soffit type that blends with your existing siding.
