Insulated Siding has an impact resistance of more than 400 percent over conventional sidings.

Most people don't even know they have a problem until it's too late. But Insulated Siding with Fullback Technology™ is a proprietary foam backing treated with PREVENTOL® TM Preservative Insecticide (PREVENTOL®TM). The active ingredient in PREVENTOL®TM is used at low concentrations and is safe for installers and homeowners. This active ingredient is also commonly used for pest control, crop protection, and as a topical treatment for flea and tick control on pets.

It is estimated that an average family of four creates six gallons of water vapor a day through routine daily activities such as breathing, perspiring, running water, showering, laundry, washing dishes, etc. If this is not released, it can condense on and between wall studs, and can cause both structural and health-related problems. Moist materials provide an ideal growing medium for molds, fungi and bacteria, which are organisms that can promote a host of respiratory problems. Insulated Siding’s unique breathablility, which is three times that of other forms of exterior insulation, allows water vapors to escape the home, helping to reduce moisture and maintain a healthier home environment.

The insulating foam backer of Insulated Siding is an Energy Star-qualified insulation product, engineered to satisfy the stringent standards of the U.S. Department of Energy and the EPA. By reducing their energy consumption, homeowners can feel proud to be part of the energy solution for years to come.

Insulated Siding wraps the home in a continuous blanket of insulation. It eliminates the “rattling” sound typical of some siding products. Homeowners report that the use of Insulated Siding "greatly reduces noise and makes my home quieter."
