Reduce Warm and Cold Spots with Siding Insulation
Have you ever touched the sunny side of your home's exterior on a summer afternoon? It's not uncommon for the outside of your home to reach temperatures as high as 190° under these conditions, and this heat can transfer through the walls of your home to the inside living space. This can create warmer spots in your home, despite having the air conditioning on. You can reduce warm and cold spots by having Fullback®V siding insulation installed on your home.
Or, have you touched the inside wall of your home during the winter? It can be noticeably colder than the temperature of the room. This is because the heat from inside your home is transferring through your walls in the same way, escaping to the outside.
Fullback®V siding insulation wraps your home in an energy-conserving blanket, breaking the thermal bridge between the inside and outside of your home, helping reduce warm and cold spots. The siding insulation works to keep heat where it belongs, inside during the winter and outside during the summer.
Insulated accessories are also available to complete your Fullback®V job, eliminating drafts in spots like room corners (insulated corner posts) and around windows (insulated window surrounds). Learn more about siding insulation or request a siding quote online.

This infrared image, taken during the winter, shows where heat from the inside is escaping to the outdoors. You can see the wooden studs are warmer, because the heat is transferring through them. Also notice the tops of the walls, where cavity insulation has settled, and around the windows. |
This infrared image, taken the very next winter, shows the same home with Fullback®V on the exterior. You can see that the insulation has broken the thermal bridge to the outside, and the problem areas from the first picture have been eliminated. |
