A continuous layer of insulating sheathing applied to the exterior surface of a wall will minimize condensation and moisture levels.
Exteruor insulating siding.
Backed with breathable foam insulated siding wraps your home s exterior with a continuous blanket of insulation up to 1 thick.
Because of this breathability installing insulated vinyl siding does not require costly venting as do some other insulation materials.
By filling the voids behind the siding s stepped profile the insulation makes the complete material stiffer and more resistant to warping and movement than conventional vinyl siding.
If the exterior wall sheathing is below the dew point temperature condensation will form on the sheathing.
Some products like our cedarboards insulated siding can actually increase the r value of the building envelope which reduces energy consumption and related co2 emissions.
Condensation and elevated moisture levels cause rot mold and mildew.
Insulated vinyl siding is standard vinyl siding with a backing of solid rigid foam insulation.
The insulating foam used in insulated vinyl siding features a perm rating of up to 5 0 providing much better breathability tha comparable insulation products with perm ratings of 1 5 or less.
