Siding and cladding tend to be used interchangeably, but they are pretty different. Claddings have more structural purpose than sidings as claddings are built with drainage taken into account, among other things. In terms of durability, claddings also take the cake as they are much thicker than sidings. However, these advantages come at a cost. While sidings are not as confidence-inspiring as claddings, sidings are quite durable depending on several factors.

There is a lot to consider when talking about the longevity of interior sidings. They are, after all, considered to be permanent home installations, so these are built and installed to last. Depending on the material of choice and how well you take care of interior sidings, they can last for 20 years to 50 years or even more.

Yes, there are, but we mentioned these three as some of the most common materials chosen for interior use. Metal sidings may make more sense if you’re using them for an exterior siding where it’s more exposed to the elements. You may ask your Tasker for more options should you need them, and maybe they can also suggest options that fit your needs, taste, and budget.

This depends on the material you choose for your interior siding. Some are easier to maintain than others, with some being as easy as giving them a simple wipe, rinse, and dry. Of the materials mentioned, vinyl wins in ease-of-maintenance even though they lose customizability.

This also depends on the material of choice, with some materials having more advantages over others. Apart from material choice, the way the sidings are made and installed factors into your interior’s noise isolation properties. Thicker sidings will isolate more noise, and the more they are layered upon installation, the better the noise dampening. Feel free to consult with your Tasker for more information on sound dampening should this be a priority for your installation.

Again, this depends on the material of choice as some materials are more customizable than others. For instance, vinyl scores minor brownie points on customizability as once you add a splash of paint on it, that’s it. If you’re keen on making your interior as personal as can be, it would be best to be wary of your material options as they can make or break your build. Feel free to consult with your Tasker regarding these matters.
