Your choice of siding defines your home and protects it from all that nature throws its way. Choose well, and your vacation home will blend in with nature while maintaining the architectural style you admire—for years to come.
With the wooded setting of the Getaway, we wanted it all: modern style, durability, and low maintenance. We chose Vesta Steel Plank from Quality Edge. Steel siding is gaining popularity, mostly in the form of vertical corrugated panels. We favored the look of Vesta’s steel lap-siding products; you can install the material vertically or horizontally. The style was born out of traditional and proven wood shiplap, common in older houses. This modern adaptation in steel has a permanence we couldn’t find with other products.
In our budget calculations, this splurge is well worth the upcharge compared with more conventional siding products. What sealed the deal was not only Vesta’s warranty and non-fading, rustproof finish but also its sustainability. Steel is 100% recyclable.
WORKING WITH STEEL PLANK SIDING
Installing Vesta Steel Plank siding is similar to installing vinyl or aluminum siding. Many of the components are the same profile and you install them in the same manner. Vesta does employ some unique components and methods that aid its durability. Its support trim, for example, maintains the rigidity of the siding where it tucks into the J-channel at the top of a wall or below a window.

9 ALTERNATIVE USES FOR SAWDUST
Every fully stocked wood shop has a table saw. You can usually find a pile of sawdust under it, even if it's used only occasionally. If a shop has a belt sander or band saw, there's probably another pile of finer sawdust under that. Even people without stationary tools have sawdust accumulation on their workbenches.
