Though affordability and appearance are important for many homeowners in choosing siding for their home, increasingly the environmental impact of siding is considered as environmental awareness grows. Given that Everlast Composite Siding is environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable, it has become a popular choice among homeowners.
Everlast Composite Siding is made up of a unique blend of inorganic minerals and polymeric resins, with a woodgrain texture that appears like real cedar. It has a lifetime guarantee, which is a 
testament to its durability. It also does not need to be painted ever, as is the case with many competing products. For maintenance, all that is needed is occasionally hosing it with water to remove dirt or particles that accumulate on the siding. If any scraps remain after installing the siding, or if the homeowner were ever to decide to replace the siding, it can be completely recycled and leaves no harmful chemicals or byproducts from its disposal. Furthermore, the product is resistant to high temperatures and fires, which leaves many homeowners with peace of mind.
By contrast, many competing products contain chemicals that are toxic to the environment, particularly in the case of fire. When vinyl siding is exposed to a fire or intense heat from extreme weather, it can release dioxin and formaldehyde, gases which can lead to illness and cancer, and may kill the occupants if they are trapped in the burning home.
Wood siding, like vinyl siding, is flammable, which can pose a danger to the occupants of a home in case of a fire. Wood siding may also need to be painted every four to five years due to wear, which can contribute to the accumulation of heavy metals into the environment from the paint. Wood is also susceptible to rot, particularly in areas of extreme weather such as the Northeast, which fosters the growth of mold. Mold has been linked as a trigger of asthma attacks and allergies, and may even cause a child to develop asthma.
While aluminum and steel siding are relatively durable and can be recycled, they may require painting every few years as a result of wear, which can add contaminants to the environment, particularly if the siding is ever discarded.
Though different types of siding for houses have their advantages and disadvantages, Everlast Composite Siding has a strong combination of advantages in its durability, its minimal maintenance, and in its aesthetic appeal, with no harm to the environment as is the case with many competing products.
