Anyone use Norandex vinyl siding?

[jpcjguy]

My contractor quoted me using this siding. Looking at the Woodman Select https://www.norandex.com/products/vinyl-siding/woodsman-select/

Just curious if anyone has used it.

Thanks!

Never used it.

Nope. I am a stucco guy.

Norandex has so many grades that it's hard to say without investigation. It think that's what I used on our last house. Looks great 6 years later in a medium gray color. They are one of the big guys and make some great products.

it is their second from the bottom grade siding (.042). Ask for a quote for a thicker siding (.046) it will take impact better and be less likely to crack when hit with stones or a hard ball.

My neighbor is getting it right now, with 3/4"? polystyrene board backer. It feels much sturdier than more common vinyl siding varieties. The only thing I don't like is that it has a strange satin, almost semi-gloss level of sheen to it, at least the variety I have seen.

I would personally question whether the price difference between it and hardie board is that significant, but I would choose it over plain old vinyl siding..

Thanks for the information. I was not looking at doing the insulated siding. Just the regular. I will have 2 x 6 walls that are going to be insulated. Also being in Virginia we don’t have super extremes

I used to do some construction and used norandex many times.its a good company.... all siding will fade. As long as u dont have to replace any u will never know. If u have kids that can damage the siding look at going thicker but 042 will work fine

Good call out. I do have kids (9,9,6) but I have 2 acres and the garage is in the far corner of the yard. There should be no reason for them to hit it with anything (ha ha!) but I will look into the next one up which is .044. The next level after that is .046, but it is only offered in a 4" and we want 5" clapboard....

We had our house and garage done with this siding in 1986. It still looks good. My neighbour is having his house and garage stucco done for the third time, since '86.
