Asphalt Shingle Siding

.

AKA: Strip Siding, Synthetic Siding

Location: Milton, Delaware

Additional Information: Sometime around 1930, asphalt shingles became a popular siding product in the USA. Asphalt siding was often coupled with sheets of pressed cellulose to give older homes a new skin directly over wooden clapboards. The cellulose sheets added a layer of insulation which gave the system a lot of appeal.

Asphalt siding came in a variety of colors and styles including the wood grain shown here and a brick pattern which was very popular. Its use began to decline in the 1960's as interlocking aluminum and steel clapboard came more into fashion.

Vinyl Lattice Panel

.

AKA:  Diagonal Lattice Panel, Polyvinyl chloride, PVC

Location: Lewes, Delaware

Additional Information:  Vinyl Lattice panels will not come apart like their wooden counterparts. They also do not need painting on a regular basis and will not rot. The material they are made from, however, has a schizophrenic reputation. There are those who call PVC the poison plastic and others who tout it as eco-friendly. One source will tell you that "PVC is inherently recyclable" while another states that "PVC is considered a difficult and expensive material to recycle."Who to believe can be difficult to ascertain but it is my understanding that the second statement is as true as the first and that "recyclable" does not mean "gets recycled".
