The Many Sides of Mastic Vinyl Siding, Part 1: Sustainability

Mastic Vinyl Siding Repair Madison WI SustainableLast summer, we took a look at all of the vinyl siding brands we carry at Legacy Exteriors — including Mastic, Norandex, Exterior Portfolio, and Mitten. As we enter the 2025 spring season, we’re going to take a deeper dive into these brands to help give you a better understanding of which one might be best for your vinyl siding needs.

Before we begin, we’d like to note that ALL of the brands mentioned above produce outstanding vinyl siding products, and also offer excellent warranties, so in many cases a homeowner’s choice comes down to price point, color, and siding style.

In this series on Mastic vinyl siding, we’re going to take a look at the three different types of siding they offer — lap siding, vertical siding, as well as shake and shingle siding — to show you the aesthetic differences between each, as well as highlight some of the top benefits of each siding type.

Before we jump into the different siding styles, let’s take a look at one of the major benefits of choosing Mastic — sustainability …
