Consider this: buying siding can be like buying a winter coat. You can buy one that's cheap, but it probably won't be as comfortable, won't keep you as warm, and won't hold up for very long. Or, you can buy a coat that's a little more expensive, but it feels more comfortable, keeps you warmer, and will ho ld up for many years because it is higher quality and more durable. Just a thought!

Siding Costs

One of the biggest questions that homeowners have when deciding which siding to purchase for their home is "How much will it cost?" Although each home is unique and prices will vary based on your home's needs, your region in the country, and the product and contractor you choose, there are a few important points to consider:

  • According to Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs Value Report 2011-2012, you can expect the following when you choose to install vinyl siding with Fullback®V siding insulation laminated to it:
  • A United States homeowner can expect to recoup 69.6% of their investment in new foam-backed vinyl siding, according to national averages. This is due to the increased property value you will experience by adding new insulated siding to your home.

  • On average, foam-backed vinyl siding costs 23% more than traditional, uninsulated vinyl siding, and only 4% more than fiber cement (without insulation).
  • Even though most people decide to purchase new siding to improve their home's appearance or eliminate maintenance issues, improving the energy efficiency at the same time will decrease the utility bills every year that it's on the home. Depending on how long you occupy your home, the remaining project cost can be recouped over time in yearly energy savings.
  • The low maintenance, durable exterior that vinyl siding with Fullback®V siding insulation provides will reduce the need for potentially costly repairs.
  • With the laminated insulated vinyl siding options, the insulation is included in the cost of the siding. Just like adding a sunroof to a new car requires an additional cost, adding insulation to any other siding product will require an additional cost.

When siding needs to be replaced, the "investment" portion of laminated insulated siding options should be calculated as the incremental cost of the insulated siding versus vinyl siding alone (i.e., the cost of insulated siding minus the cost of vinyl siding without integral insulation). This method will reveal the cost of the insulation itself, which will enable a clear comparison between insulated siding and other energy conservation measures under consideration. It is never more cost-effective to add insulation to the exterior of your home than when you are adding new siding.

Even though the initial cost of adding Fullback®V siding insulation to your siding may higher than other siding alternatives, you will be able to reap the financial benefits of the product for years to come. If you want to get more for your money, Fullback®V siding insulation is the solution.
