Energy Efficiency

Critter Resistant

  • Insulated siding does not attract insects, or other nuisance vermin. Unlike wood siding, insulated vinyl siding does not provide a sufficient food source for insects such as termites. The foam within this insulated siding helps to fill any holes or gaps, preventing any insects or other small creatures from making it their home. This is a huge benefit in terms of life span.

Noise Reduction

  • The additional foam layer in this type of siding acts as a sound barrier, reducing the level of outside noise that penetrates into your home. If you have inconsiderate neighbours, the furry friends down the street are more vocal than most, or live in an area with an excessive amount of traffic, this insulation may be your best option for soundproofing.

  • Vinyl Siding take the least effort to maintain, of any siding product. It is specifically designed to endure extreme weather, while maintaining its look. Insulated Vinyl siding is not susceptible to rot, and it will never need to be repainted. Unless of course you choose to change the colour for aesthetic purposes. All this siding needs to maintain its look, is the occasional hose down.

Increased Durability

  • Insulated siding is a highly durable product. Not only is it incredibly weather resistant, it is impact resistant as well. The foam layer in this siding acts as a sort of shock absorber, which is great for weather event such as hail. If you have active kids, this insulated siding can also withstand the impacts from pucks, and stray baseballs!
