Vinyl is a versatile siding material. It comes in a wide variety of colors and it is able to withstand high heat, cold temperatures, precipitation and wind of up to 110 mph, according to the Vinyl Siding Institute. The siding is relatively low maintenance, as you don't need to paint it every year like wood siding or repair mortar like brick construction. Instead, clean stains such as black scuff marks as soon as you notice them to prevent them from baking or settling into the siding.
