Vinyl fades like crazy

In my experience with vinyl siding, you get what you pay for. Light colored vinyl siding is very basic in terms of what goes into it. Fading can definitely be a problem. Dark colored vinyl has heat reflective pigments and uv protection built in to slow the fade. Costs about double to go with the dark colors though and at that price point it is getting closer in cost to Hardie. If the $ was equal, a fiber cement product is probably the smart choice in our area for sure.
