Vinyl Siding for social housing project.

When sourcing building products for its latest social housing project in Rugby, Aspects Developments chose Almura's durable, easy to install, low maintenance Vinyl Siding.

The Warwickshire development will have 42, two-bedroom apartments, designed by leading architects for modern-day living.

Craftsmen are constructing the buildings in the classic English style, and to the highest specifications.

Aspects Developments needed a building product that would complement this style but would still represent good value for money.

Duncan Shaw, Development Director of Aspects, decided to use Almura's Alcoa Grand Sierra Vinyl Siding on the new homes for a variety of reasons, "I chose the Grand Sierra siding because it is simple to install, very low maintenance, extremely competitively priced and incredibly durable, which means it has a long lifespan, from 50 years to a lifetime".

Alcoa Vinyl Siding is not made of wood, causing no strain on natural resources.

Plus, over half the content of vinyl is derived from common salt; an abundant and inert natural resource.

During manufacturing, almost all manufacturing waste is recycled and re-used.

It's also very lightweight, consuming low amounts of energy in its transportation.

Unlike wood and fibre cement, it never needs painting, which also limits considerable waste and pollution.
