Insulated Siding Can Make Your Home More Energy Efficient
Siding is a classic and beautiful look for just about any home, but did you realize that your siding could also help keep your home warm and reduce your energy bills. That’s because today’s high-tech vinyl siding is available in insulated versions. You get the same great looks as traditional vinyl, but with the added benefits of thermal insulation. Fight back against high energy costs and skyrocketing heating and cooling bills with insulated siding!
Insulated vinyl siding is available in two main types: one includes an insulated underlayment that is attached to your home before the siding is installed; the other is a one-piece system with the insulation built right into the plank of siding. Both options can dramatically increase your home’s energy efficiency for lower energy usage and reduced heating and cooling costs. Other benefits of having your siding contractors put in this type of siding include:
- Increased rigidity
- Improved impact resistance
- Straighter courses (no wobbles, bends, or curves when installed)
- Improved noise insulation
- And more!
But insulated vinyl siding isn’t the only way to increase your home’s energy efficiency from the inside out. Other options for improving your home’s energy efficiency with your next siding replacement can include house wrap to seal up cracks and drafts.
