I am doing the installation myself. Using Owens Corning. Is there
any advantage to using a .044 verses .042 on traditional double four?
Will the installation be better? Will it last longer? Doesn't seem
like much difference in vinyl thickness. Price is not an issue.
Thanks


Thicker is better. Get as thick as you can. I once seen a cheapo modular
house with
equally cheap siding on it after a significant hail storm. It wasn't
pretty. The siding looked
like swiss cheese. If you're not 100% sold on vinyl, then check out fiber
cement siding.

Fiber cement is tough and can be had pre-painted. You can also paint it
later if you want to change colors.
My house has Hardie Plank on it, and I love it. Vinyl, even quality vinyl
looks cheap and cheezy next to it.
That's just my opinion of course.
