Homeowners can insulate existing walls with insulating foam. Foam is blown into walls throughout the home and takes up space within the walls. Homeowners can also roll fiberglass insulation onto attic floors. For the exterior, insulate with solid core siding. While foam and fiberglass insulate only the wall cavity, solid core siding insulates the entire wall, including studs and joists.
Solid core siding features an insulated core inside the siding for increased thermal resistance.
The U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency developed the Energy Star logo to identify products, which meet the energy efficiency guidelines set by these two government agencies. When installed as suggested in the Energy Star Insulation Guide, products with this logo can save energy. To learn more about Solid Core Siding, call Crane Performance Siding. Solid Core Siding not only increases energy efficiency, but it also increases noise reduction and impact resistance, and carries the Energy Star logo. It is four times stronger than vinyl siding and has an R-Value as high as 4.5.
