Decisions about siding are consistently among the most difficult for environmentally concerned designers and builders of residential and light commercial buildings. Siding must withstand all types of weather, look attractive, and be affordable to buy and install. Alternatives can include solid wood, APA-rated plywood, Oriental-strand board, wood-resin composites, stucco, fibre-cement, masonite, as well as aluminum. The buyer should research the alternatives completely before making decisions on the purchase.
The buyer should consider the following in their decision to use an alternative product: Energy use, chemical emissions and occupant health, durability, hazardous by-products, process wastes, resource limitations (i.e.: old growth lumber vs. alternatives clear cutting vs. sustainable forestry) and recyclability.
If using wood, the buyer should insure the product is independently certified by well managed forests.
