What Louisiana's climate means for your siding
Local conditions change which materials and methods make sense.
- Hurricanes and coastal wind
Choose siding rated for your area's design wind speed, and ask how it will be fastened. Fiber cement and high-wind vinyl both work well.
- Humidity and mold
Make sure there is a drainage gap behind the siding so moisture can escape.
- Timing
Spring through fall is the main season. Vinyl gets brittle in deep cold, so most crews avoid installing it below freezing.
