When the time comes to think about the exterior siding of your home, a host of choices are available for you. An excellent choice is vinyl siding and one of the vinyl siding options is vinyl insulated siding. How does vinyl insulated siding compared to traditional vinyl siding? The following article will provide you with the information on vinyl insulated siding to help you make an informed decision.
What is vinyl siding insulation?
Insulated
vinyl siding is vinyl siding covered with rigid foam insulation. It is a bit
more expensive than traditional vinyl siding, but its benefits are worth the
investment. Compared to traditional vinyl siding, vinyl insulated siding has
True Form technology which is a one piece insulated siding system bonded
securely to the outer panel. Vinyl insulated siding is a highly engineered,
insulated siding system that provides exceptional durability and the strength
to withstand Mother Nature, pests and outside noise while safeguarding against
energy loss.
Energy savings
Vinyl insulated siding has energy gap protection. With features like Rigid Lock and True Form combined with a fully insulated line of trim and accessories, vinyl insulated siding provides an unbroken blanket of insulation. For instance, this helps with your heating and cooling costs. The exterior walls of a house can be a major source of heat loss or heat penetration in hot weather. Even if your walls contain traditional insulation, energy loss can occur due to a process called “thermal bridging”. The thermal bridge is caused by the temperatures that manage to bypass the insulation of the walls by the uprights, the latter often not being insulated, which allows energy to leak from the exterior walls. Vinyl insulated siding provides an extra layer of insulation that covers these spaces, reducing thermal breakage and providing a protective barrier. This results in significant energy and cost savings.
Comfort
Vinyl insulated siding helps your home to be more comfortable all year round. As previously specified, by adding a protective barrier to the house creates a constant temperature from one room to another. In addition, the noise from your neighborhood will be greatly reduced, which contributes to the comfort of a home.
