Siding is not just a functional element of a home, it's also a key design feature that plays a significant role in determining a home's overall curb appeal. In 2023, builders, remodelers and general contractors can stay ahead of the curve by following the latest siding trends to meet their clients' needs and stand out from the competition.
Innovative Materials that Protect
Extreme weather conditions and natural disasters are becoming a growing concern for homeowners, with many worried about the durability and longevity of their siding materials. In response, low-maintenance and high-performance products are gaining popularity. Innovative new siding products, such as Celect Siding, feature proprietary locking technology that makes it a smart choice for coastal regions, which are prone to high winds and storms. Additionally, cellular PVC products are resistant to moisture, insects and rot.
Bold Color Choices that Stand Out
Color is another important factor when it comes to siding selection, and arguably the most important factor for homeowners. In 2023, we expect to see continued preference for dark, bold colors such as navy, dark green and dark gray, as well as light neutrals, which remain a classic choice. Homeowners are increasingly seeking to add personality and uniqueness to their homes through eye-catching hues that set their homes apart while still being true to their style. In terms of exterior design palettes, monochromatic exterior designs are becoming more popular, with homeowners choosing colors from the same color family and tone instead of high contrast options.
Modern Profiles for a Sleek Look
Wider siding designs in both clapboard and board & batten profiles have been on-trend for several years now, and this trend is set to continue through 2023. Wider boards create a modern and streamlined look with fewer visible seams and joints. Advances in technology and manufacturing have made wider boards more durable and resistant to weathering, making them an efficient and effective installation option. Board & batten siding, which has become increasingly popular in recent years, is a versatile option for both traditional and modern homes. Its clean lines and simple design make it a top choice for a minimalist look that can add a touch of sophistication to any home.
By incorporating these innovative materials, bold colors and modern profiles into the projects you work on in 2023, you can help your clients create dream homes that will retain their value for years to come.
