Insulated vinyl siding is easy to install.
If you know how to install conventional siding, you can learn how to install siding with Fullback in a couple of hours. Siding with Fullback Thermal Support is more rigid than plain siding, so it is easier to handle. Although rigid and strong, siding with Fullback Thermal Support is amazingly lightweight, easy to handle and work with, and requires no special tools (much unlike fiber-cement).
Easy installation instructions:
- While there are no special tools required, you will want to saw-cut rather than using snips (a six-inch battery saw is recommended). A rotor-zip tool will also help, in order to cut holes and such.
- Begin with the starter strips. It is important to butt foam-to-foam for a secure seam, because you don ’t want heating/cooling energy to come through. (Otherwise, your homeowner will lose energy and when the escaping air from the home hits the dew point, a line in the siding will be created by this gap, which over time will discolor the siding.)
