Siding - Cladding
Vinyl Siding
Calculate the amount of Vinyl siding needed to cover a wall.
The standard width of a vinyl siding panel is between 6" to 10". The standard length for vinyl siding panels is 12 feet to 12feet -6 inches, with panels up to 40 feet in length, thus reducing the number of seams on a wall.
This calculation is done based on the exposed face (reveal) amount, the part of a siding panel that you can see after it is installed.
