How new siding contributes to a warmer, more comfortable home:
- 9 out of 10 U.S. homes are under-insulated — Adding insulated siding is one of the most accessible ways to address this gap. (Source: Energy Star, https://www.energystar.gov/saveathome/seal_insulate/why-seal-and-insulate)
- A 1-inch foam layer adds an immediate R-value increase of 5 — Continuous insulation blocks heat loss across the full wall, not just between the studs. (Verified Facts, Coastal Windows & Exteriors)
- Heating and cooling energy use may reduce by 2 to 7% — Compared to older uninsulated walls, insulated siding can deliver meaningful seasonal savings. (Source: Polymeric Exteriors Institute, https://polymericexteriors.org)
- Fewer drafts and cold spots throughout your home — Thermal bridging at the studs is eliminated, so walls feel consistent and comfortable all winter long.
- Air infiltration reduction cuts energy consumption — Sealing the wall cavity reduces the amount of conditioned air that escapes your Brookline home. (Source: Energy Star, https://www.energystar.gov/saveathome/seal_insulate/why-seal-and-insulate)
What Comfort Improvements Can Brookline Homeowners Expect?
Top Recommendation: CraneBoard® Solid Core Siding® for Brookline homeowners who want the greatest comfort improvement — its foam core stops heat loss directly through the wall studs.
Best for Budget: Standard insulated vinyl siding for homeowners who want noticeably warmer rooms without the cost of a full solid-core upgrade.
Best for Drafty Older Homes: Foam-back re-siding paired with new house wrap for Brookline homes with aging walls and little existing insulation.
