ACHIEVING ENERGY EFFIECENCY THROUGH POLYMERIC CLADDING

This is an article I read today and thought it might be good information for homeowners considering new siding for their home.

Midwest Construction has been a Member of the VSI since 2007 and follows all VSI Practices when installing polymeric/vinyl siding to your home.

The Vinyl Siding Institute of America: VSI trains and certifies professionals on proper vinyl siding installation techniques. Our certification program helps improve end results to minimize issues and callbacks. Homeowners rely on VSI Certified Installers to complete their projects to the highest industry standard.

The Vinyl Siding Institute, Inc. (VSI) is the trade association for manufacturers of vinyl and other polymeric siding and suppliers to the industry.

As industry advocates, it’s our goal to further the development and growth of the vinyl and polymeric siding industry by helping to develop material, product, and performance standards in cooperation with standards-making organizations and code bodies.

We engage in product stewardship and outreach activities to enhance the image of the industry and its products, and serve as an information resource to remodelers, builders, planners, designers, architects, elected officials, building code officials, distributors, homeowners, and other exterior cladding decision-makers on the facts about vinyl siding.

​DID YOU KNOW…

Polymeric claddings, including vinyl siding, insulated vinyl siding and polypropylene siding, are some of the only cladding material categories that have been used extensively with insulation options?

The energy efficiency for many building materials is known as its R-value; the higher the value, the more efficient (or resistant to heat transfer) it is. Many cladding materials don’t have measured R-values that can increase the wall’s overall by at least R-2 and even up to R-3 or more, providing a substantial improvement in the energy efficiency of a home and a significant reduction in energy bills.

Vinyl siding, insulated vinyl siding and polypropylene siding have a shelf life of 50+ years. The products are lightweight, low maintenance, resource-efficient and can withstand extreme weather. All 3 cladding types are some of the best products in the exterior industry for insulating a home with the greatest fuel efficiencies. 

These are just a few reasons to consider Polymeric/Vinyl Siding may be right for your home. You can get more information by visiting https://www.vinylsiding.org/
