With so many options\nto choose from, including brick, stucco, siding or any other number\nof available choices depending on climate and conditions of your\nregions, the choices can be overwhelming. Afterall, choosing the\nexterior material for your home is a decision that will be with you\nfor a long time: this isn\u2019t like changing the paint colour of your\nfront door!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insulated\nvinyl siding is relatively new to the market and as such, there are\nmany questions about why to choose it over regular vinyl siding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\n\tWhat is the difference between insulated vs. regular vinyl siding?\n\t<\/li><li>\n\tDoes insulated vinyl siding affect the R-value?\n\t<\/li><li>\n\tCan I get insulated vinyl siding in the colour I want?\n\t<\/li><li>\n\tDoes insulated vinyl siding look different than regular siding?\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nRenovaction team has a lot of experience with installing both vinyl\nsiding and upgraded insulated vinyl siding. Here\u2019s what we know\nabout why to choose insulated vinyl siding versus regular siding that\nhas been on the market for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is insulated\nvinyl siding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Insulated\nvinyl siding is a type of exterior cladding (covering) that is made\nfrom vinyl siding with form-fitted expanded polystyrene (EPS)\ninsulation permanently built into the back side of the double-four\ncourses of vinyl siding. This insulation adds rigidity to the vinyl,\nresulting in exterior siding that looks and feels considerably more\nsolid than regular \u201chollow\u201d vinyl siding, and offers a number of\nbenefits. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the benefits\nof insulated vinyl siding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As\nthe name implies, insulated vinyl siding has more insulating\nproperties than regular vinyl siding. The insulation increases the\nR-value of your exterior siding which will help you with heating and\ncooling costs as well as increasing the comfort of your home in cold\nwinters and hot summers. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another\nbenefit of insulated vinyl siding is that it keeps your exterior\nwalls dryer (due to the heat retention properties of the form-fitted\nexpanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation) and can reduce the growth of\nunwanted mould and mildew &#8211; an important safety factor when it comes\nto the protection of you and your family inside your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homeowners\nwho have upgraded to insulated siding also eport a reduction in\noutdoor noise levels infiltrating their homes. Because the insulation\nis more solid and the joints are more seamless, insulated vinyl\nsiding doesn\u2019t rattle or whistle in the wind like hollow vinyl\nsiding is prone to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does insulated\nvinyl siding look like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From\na distance, visitors might not see the immediate difference between\nregular siding and vinyl siding that has permanent insulation\nbuilt-in. A closer look, however, reveals a much sturdier and solid\nlooking more seamless finish to your home. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insulated\nvinyl siding should be installed by an experienced installation team\nto benefit the most from the \u201cseamless\u201d look to the siding.\nOverlapping seams of regular \u201chollow\u201d vinyl siding can stand out\nwhereas insulated vinyl siding has a much more seamless look when\ninstalled correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou are concerned that choices of colour, texture and profile choices\nare more limited by choosing insulated vinyl siding, rest assured\nthat this is not the case. This product is available in a wide range\nof colours, textures and profiles that offer an elevated look to your\nhome. The look that you are dreaming of for your exterior curb appeal\ncan certainly be achieved with insulated vinyl siding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional\nInstallation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou are looking for an installation team in Ottawa, Gatineau, or\nthroughout the Outaouais region, don\u2019t hesitate to <a href=\"https:\/\/renovaction.ca\/en\/quote\/\">reach\nout to the team here at Renovaction.<\/a> We are happy to\nanswer your questions about the difference between insulated vinyl\nsiding vs regular siding and the scope of your project as you\nrenovate or remodel your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exterior home siding is a significant investment and homeowners and contractors alike need to carefully consider the pros and cons of insulated vinyl siding as opposed to regular vinyl siding when deciding what material to use when covering the exterior of their home, addition or renovation.
