Why insulated vinyl siding delivers real value:
- Continuous foam covers the full wall surface: Standard siding leaves gaps at every stud; foam-back siding seals the entire wall, stopping heat loss at the source.
- An immediate R-value increase of 5: A single 1-inch foam layer boosts your wall’s insulating power from day one.
- Up to 25% of home energy lost through uninsulated walls: Insulated siding addresses one of the biggest energy drains in Greater Boston homes.
- 5.5% average energy savings documented: A study of five re-siding projects found measurable energy savings after insulated siding installation.
- Added comfort beyond the energy bill: Fewer drafts, reduced cold spots, and a more consistent indoor temperature make daily life noticeably better.
