The Vinyl Siding Institute has created an interactive design guide called Designing Style that allows contractors, builders and architects to assist homeowners in siding choices, according to a press release.
The guide is available as an interactive online PDF resource that also is compatible with tablets and smartphones. Contractors can show their clients vinyl siding product options and combinations by navigating through archiecture styles –– including Cape Cod, French Colonial, Georgian, Federal/Adam, Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Folk Victorian and Craftsman –– and selecting which siding products and accessories complement each style.
