Foam-backed vinyl siding features a foam filling between the siding and the wall system, which offers more insulation over traditional siding choices. If you are considering foam-backed siding, there are many benefits that come with your investment. Below are five to consider.

Reasons to Choose Foam-Backed Siding

1. Create Better Insulation

Your home has a frame that attaches to the interior part of exterior walls, but there is no insulation at these points. Heat moves through them and escapes, creating thermal bridging and energy loss. Foam-backed siding fills in this space with a backing that has an R-value between 2 and 5, which is the measure of thermal resistance of a material. The higher the R-value number, the better it insulates. It also helps regulate temperatures, especially in extreme seasons like summer and winter.

2. Strengthen Against Impact

Siding can be susceptible to impact damage, whether from objects like rocks, balls, or debris hitting it or from a particularly heavy hail storm. Foam-backed vinyl siding boosts your home’s ability to tolerate anything hitting it at high speed.

3. Improve Sound Barrier

Because foam-backed siding is denser than traditional siding, it is better at deflecting sound, which helps filter out unwanted noises from the outside. Your home’s interior remains cozy and quiet for a more serene atmosphere.

4. Increase Durability

Overall your exterior is more durable, making it strong against all types of weather. It also creates a moisture barrier to safeguard your house’s frame from water damage. Also, unlike wood siding, foam-backed siding is pest resistant.

5. Boost Curb Appeal

There is less panel distortion because the backing creates extra support. Your home will look neater and more attractive since it is free of any warping. This siding is also available in a spectrum of colors to suit your tastes and is even available in styles that mimic wood if that is the aesthetic your prefer.
