Vinyl Siding Over Rigid Insulation

The vinyl siding itself cannot provide you with any form of insulation because they are plastic and relatively thinner compared to other siding materials. But, the vinyl siding over rigid insulation can provide you the insulation that you needed for your home. The rigid insulation does not only provide insulation, but it provides other useful function together with your vinyl siding as well.


Today, there are different types of insulation that goes behind all kinds of vinyl siding. There are liquid foam insulation that takes the space behind your vinyl siding and hardens once it sets, and there are prefabricated insulation that are contoured to fit in the back of your vinyl siding perfectly. But, the most popular nowadays is the vinyl siding that is already fitted with insulation. The siding and the insulation are installed together saving you time and money during construction.

Your vinyl siding over rigid insulation provides you the right insulation in all types of weather. With the right product, you can even get an R-Value of up to 5 with your vinyl siding and its rigid insulation. Because the insulation is rigid, it provides an added support to your rather weaker vinyl siding insulation.

The rigid insulating that fits snugly in the back of your vinyl siding provides additional support to it by making it more rigid and stiff. The integrity that the insulation adds to your vinyl siding prevents cracks and dents onto it when a harder force is applied on the exterior. The insulation also occupies the entire space between your wall and your vinyl siding. You want these spaces to be filled fully with useful materials because they could otherwise be the place for small mammals and insects to breed.

The insulation does not only make your house hospitable but it performs other functions as well. Your vinyl siding over rigid insulation can finally give you the aesthetics and comfort that you need in your home.
