Introduction

Conventional vinyl siding provides a good veneer for a home's exterior. But when vinyl siding is installed over flat underlayment, as is typical, a hollow void between the siding and the wall is created. This void inhibits thermal efficiency and makes the siding vulnerable to damage from impact, wind up-lift and weather.

Insulated vinyl siding is a relatively new product that eliminates the problems associated with the hollow void. And by laminating expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam insulation directly to conventional vinyl siding, the result is a solid product that provides:

  • Better insulation
  • Improved appearance and durability
  • Easy installation

When properly installed, insulated vinyl siding provides a strong, impact resistant building veneer that also improves the insulating value of the wall system.
