Energy Savings and Insulation

Do you feel that your home is energy efficient? If you don't have rigid insulation on the exterior of your home, you're missing an important layer of energy savings. You can improve energy efficiency by adding Fullback^®S siding insulation underneath your steel siding. Fullback^®S keeps money in your bank account all year long by keeping heat where it belongs: inside in the winter and outside in the summer!

	The Problem: Thermal Bridging You may have an energy leak in the walls of your home that you don't even know about! This leak, caused by the wooden framing in your walls, can be costing you money every day! Heat transfers across the wooden studs and other framing members, allowing energy to leak right through your walls. This phenomenon is known as "thermal bridging". more>
	Yesterday's Siding Products Weren't Designed to Insulate Most siding products available today only provide minimal R-value, therefore they do not increase the energy efficiency of your home. Luckily, Fullback®S siding insulation is available today to make your steel siding more energy efficient. more>
	Keep Heat In Your Home During the Winter During the winter season, the warm air you pay to heat could be escaping through the side walls of your home, making your bills higher and your home less comfortable! Adding Fullback®S siding insulation on the outside of your home when you reside is like wrapping it in a warm blanket, keeping the heat inside where it belongs. After all, insulation is cheaper than heat in the long run! more>
	Keep Heat Out During the Summer During the summer, warm air from the hot outdoors can travel through your walls, warming the interior of your home that you pay to keep cool! The addition of Fullback®S siding insulation to the outside of your home is like putting an insulating neoprene sleeve around your cold beverage on a hot day; it keeps the heat outside from getting in, and the interior stays cooler longer! more>
	Sound Dampening Although increased energy efficiency is the main reason people think to add insulation to their home, there are additional benefits, including sound dampening. Have you ever considered that your home may actually be quieter on the inside if you added a layer of rigid insulation to the exterior? more>
