9 Reasons to Insulate New Siding with

Progressive Foam Siding Insulation…

#1 Reduces Energy Consumption

Adding siding insulation to the exterior of homes will: • Add R-value and improve the thermal performance of the wall system • Reduce thermal bridging • Lower rates of infiltration and exfiltration

“When new siding is to be installed, it is a good idea to consider adding thermal insulation under new siding.”

-U.S. Department of Energy

The Department of Energy Recommends Exterior Insulation!

Without… before With… after

Exterior Insulation is Recommended Because it Works!

#2 Manages Moisture • Will not absorb moisture

• Sheds bulk water from

outside the home

• Allows water vapor generated from inside the home to pass through – Perm ratings up to 5.0 – Works similar to GORE TEX®

#3 Protects Against Pests

• PREVENTOL®TM EPS protects against termites and is safe for installers and homeowners

• Contoured foam products provide additional protection, eliminating the space between the siding and the wall where pests can nest
