- Early summer offers mild weather and long days, making it the perfect time for vinyl siding installation.
- New vinyl siding can lower energy costs and protect your home from the extreme weather in Michigan.
- Temperature fluctuations can cause expansion and contraction in vinyl siding.
Some of the best weather for enjoying the great Michigan outdoors is in early Summer. However, did you know that early Summer is the best time of the year for vinyl siding installation as well? All the things that make you love summer are the same reasons to choose our vinyl siding installation to be completed in June.
New vinyl siding not only improves the look of your home, but also improves energy efficiency and home comfort. It provides defensive protection against the extreme Michigan weather while adding curb appeal to your home. The experts at Best Choice Total Home Improvement can work with you in scheduling your installation to take advantage of the mild sunny days to get your home better prepared for the heat and humidity of late summer.
The Science of the “Temperature Window”
The ideal temperature for installing vinyl siding is in the temperature range of 50-80 degrees. In Southeast Michigan, these temperatures most often occur in June, making it the perfect temperature window. This temperature range works best for the vinyl’s expansion and contraction so that the risk of warping or buckling is reduced. At temperatures colder than 50, the vinyl can become stiffer and is more difficult to install. Freezing temperatures can slow down installation times. Temperatures over 80 degrees can cause the vinyl to expand, making it more likely to buckle when it cools. Ideally, this temperature window of 50-80 degrees, coupled with the increased daylight hours, allows installation to be faster and more efficient.
Practical Advantages of a June Installation
Although vinyl siding can be installed any time of year, there are practical advantages to installing it at the beginning of Summer. Some of the most common are:
- Due to the moderate temperatures, installation is easier because the siding and tools are easier to handle.
- Contractor availability is at its peak, making installation scheduling easier and more flexible.
- Early June installation allows you to beat the stormy season, allowing for less downtime and rescheduling.
- Installation in early summer will let you take advantage of the energy savings for both the heat and humidity of the summer and the harsh winter weather.
Energy Efficiency & Summer Comfort
Your family will love the way the new siding looks on your home, but even more importantly, they will enjoy the total comfort and energy savings provided by your new siding. Vinyl siding protects the outside of your home, making the inside easier to heat or cool. This puts less strain on your HVAC system, which can also make it last longer.
In addition to lower energy costs, vinyl siding can add long-term value and requires minimal upkeep. You can protect your home and your family with an early summer installation and continue to reap the benefits into fall and winter.
