Insulated Siding
Vinyl siding is now available with an insulated backing that will increase energy efficiency and provide better protection against damage from impacts while offering a stunning true cedar finish.
Insulated siding has a rigid foam insulation in the center which is bound between the outside surface of the side panel and the surface to which it is attached. Insulation fills the gap between the siding and the wall of your home, delivering maximum energy efficiency. Insulated siding is the perfect choice if you want to save money on your energy bills.
Why Choose Insulated Siding?
Insulated siding reduces energy costs. It is the most energy efficient siding on the market. It is low maintenance, durable, and strong. It will keep your home beautiful for years to come. Some note that it is like a large energy blanket that envelops your home and continuously insulates over the frame of your home, where the heat loss is often the greatest. It will withstand the environmental elements much better than traditional vinyl siding as it has more than a 400% greater impact resistance, can withstand hail, and wind speeds up to 215 mph. You will save on energy costs, year after year, for the life of your home.
What Should I Look For?
The most important aspect of insulated siding is the insulation itself. Ensure that the foam is properly installed to allow for natural expansion. Also, make sure water channels are properly developed. These channels lead water and condensation away from your walls and makes the siding exceptionally impermeable against rot, mold and mildew. The material also has pest control agents added to decrease the likelihood of termite infestation.
Materials
A plastic resin called PVC (polyvinyl chloride) makes up vinyl siding, which is heated and formed into sheets and embossed with a texture. The insulation is made of styrene, which is an environmentally friendly material found in many everyday products. It comes in different colors so that you will have many choices to choose from and you can obtain the perfect look for your home.
