Vinyl siding started a revolution in American homes. Vinyl is less expensive and more durable than metal or wood siding, and provides better insulation as well. Vinyl siding helped fuel postwar America’s explosive housing growth.

Today vinyl remains a popular building material choice with Long Island and NYC homeowners. And thanks to today’s technology, vinyl is more durable, UV-resistant, and long-lasting than ever. We’ve been a Long Island vinyl siding contractor for over 35 year, so we’ve seen these advancements firsthand. Come along with County Roofing Systems on a quick tour through vinyl siding history.

THE HISTORY OF VINYL SIDING

In the late 1950s Crane Plastics created vinyl siding panels as an alternative to aluminum siding. At first the manufacturing process made quality control difficult. Workers had to mix the colors manually for each batch, which led to consistency issues.

VINYL SIDING TODAY

By the 1970s siding companies had mastered these manufacturing problems. Vinyl siding became a top choice for contractors building middle-class and affordable housing. But today vinyl is not just the siding material of the masses. 

Modern vinyl siding can mimic the look of wood shake siding or other high end materials. Today you’ll find vinyl siding on many of Long Island’s finest homes.
