Have you ever heard of plywood siding?, Well it is not that well known but it is worth considering. Plywood siding is used as an overlapping panel lying parallel to one another. Plywood siding if done correctly can look great and is highly durable.
If you choose to install plywood siding, ensure it has been prepared properly before installation; this means applying a waterproof sealant to the plywood. If this procedure is not carried out the plywood is then vulnerable to taking in moisture which can then reduce its strength. Plywood can also deform by bubbling and if painted the paint will peel off, the wood will slowly rot and in the end not giving your house the protection it should have if it had been prepared properly in the first place.
Ensure when you are purchasing your plywood you choose the A grade quality and nothing less, as long term you could be up for more money if you choose the lower grade as it will not wear as well as the premium quality plywood. Low grade quality plywood is really not designed for the outdoors. Choosing premium quality plywood gives your home a better quality finish, making the end result that much better.
