What Kind of Siding Insulates Best?

If you’re looking to replace your home’s siding, you have an abundance of good siding on the market to choose from. It all depends on what siding benefits you prioritize. If energy efficiency ranks high on your list, then you’ll need siding that can insulate the home well, which means siding that resists heat transfer. The measure used to indicate how well siding does this is called the R-value. So, the higher the R-value, the better the siding will insulate against heat transfer.

Why Home Improvement Experts Prefer Polymer Siding

Across the country, home improvement experts routinely recommend polymer siding because it has a much higher R-value than conventional siding. It’s made of a combination of resins, acrylics, and other materials that form a durable, weatherproof barrier. This barrier helps to keep the heat in the home during the winter and out of the home during the summer. So, in effect, it’s the chemical makeup of polymer siding that contributes significantly to its impressive durability and heat resistance. What’s more, because polymer siding is flexible, it can easily be molded to resemble real wood siding or stone siding. So, with polymer siding on your home, not only can you expect more indoor comfort due to improved insulation, but your home’s exterior will also get a striking visual upgrade.
