Why Upgrading to Insulated Vinyl Siding Is a Great Idea

How Wall Studs Can Affect Energy Efficiency

Wall studs act as the bones of your home and support the weight of your upper floors and roof. They are an essential component, but they can also allow considerable energy loss. Most exterior walls have insulation between the wall studs, but the studs themselves act as poor insulators. If left uncovered, these wall studs can allow energy to escape through them. Since wall studs account for up to 25% of every wall, this is like leaving an entire side of your home uninsulated. Our insulated vinyl siding will cover your home’s wall studs and prevent this energy loss.

The Other Benefits of Our Insulated Siding

Several energy efficiency programs and codes recognize insulated siding as a form of continuous insulation. This means you can use our insulated vinyl siding products to qualify for those programs. As a siding and replacement windows expert, we recommend upgrading to our insulated siding products because of its many benefits. For example, vinyl siding has a wide range of designs and colors because it is the most popular siding option in the country. You can find and choose a vinyl siding that matches your home’s color scheme and architectural style.

Our vinyl siding can also resist the effects of heat, cold and moisture, and protect your home against noise pollution. The insulation reduces exterior noise, enhancing interior acoustics. In addition, the insulation also makes our siding sturdier and more durable compared with ordinary vinyl siding. Lastly, it requires little maintenance.
