- 2. Structure EPS Insulated Siding Double 4" in DreamColor No paint. No stain. No hassles. Structure® EPS Insulated Siding is bonded to one of the thickest insulations available. Up to 1-1/4" of real insulation increases the wall system’s R-value to R4 — which increases performance up to 25%. And can reduce noise levels by as much as 30%. Structure EPS Insulated Siding delivers superior strength, beauty, style and performance.
- 3. One of the thickest insulations in the industry. Structure EPS Insulated Siding is the ultimate choice for homeowners who are set on perfection. When you’re ready to make the most of your home and make the most of your investment, the choice is clear — the choice is Structure EPS Insulated Siding. When it comes to insulation, thicker is better. Wrap your home in one of the thickest insulated siding products in the industry today. With Structure® EPS Insulated Siding, you’ll add to your home’s resistance to heat lost by R4. That’s an average increase of 25% in your home’s insulation. At the same time, you’ll reduce the noise level by as much as 30% from outside sources. The result is lower energy costs throughout the year and a much quieter, more comfortable home environment.

- 10. Unlike some fiber cement products, vinyl siding does not produce harmful silica dust — silica dust can cause lung disease. Beats fiber cement siding…hands down. Head to head and wall to wall, Structure EPS Insulated Siding outperforms fiber cement products in critical categories. While Structure EPS Insulated Siding goes on cleanly and stays on reliably season after season, fiber cement needs continual maintenance or it can absorb moisture, crumble and delaminate. This can happen most often at the ground level and everywhere seams are caulked. Mold and mildew can result. Even when installed according to manufacturer’s instructions, fiber cement can sustain cracks and nail holes on the front and back of the plank, where they are often unseen by the homeowner. These voids provide the perfect environment for mold and mildew growth. Furthermore, some fiber cement produces silica dust during the installation process. Silica dust can cause lung disease. Absorbed moisture can compromise the integrity of fiber cement, causing it to crumble and delaminate.

It’s always important to read and understand the fine print in the siding warranty before purchasing the product. Some “lifetime warranties” fail to cover basic things like hail damage or color fade. Remember, your siding warranty is only as good as the company that offers it, so be sure it is backed by a name you trust. Unfortunately, wide vertical (and highly visible) seams are all too common with many standard insulated products.

This ensures that Mastic products will hold up in the most extreme environmental conditions. RIGIDITY Panels are designed and engineered to be more rigid so siding remains straight on the wall. GLOSS TEST A digital readout microgloss meter is used to scan siding to determine if its gloss falls within a target range. Gloss is important to the aesthetic appeal of the siding. COLOR READ TEST Using a spherical spectrophotometer, a 10,000-watt xenon flash tube bounces light off siding panels. This information is then analyzed to determine if the color falls within accepted ranges for consistency and match. VERTICAL HEIGHT IMPACT TEST Measures the product’s durability and ability to resist impact forces — the result of proper thickness, formulation and impact modifiers.

- 20. How Structure® EPS Insulated Siding conserves energy. More than half the heat loss in your home comes from two sources: + Air infiltration. Heat is lost through unsealed gaps and holes around windows, doors, the foundation, air vents and other openings. + Wood framing. Most wood-framed homes have insulation in the wall cavity between the framing studs only. In these homes, the stud becomes a thermal bridge. A thermal bridge is created when materials that are poor insulators come in contact, allowing heat to flow through the pathway. Wood framing studs, which comprise up to 25% of total wall space, provide a perfect pathway for heat loss. Structure EPS Insulated Siding helps solve both problems by creating a thermal “break” surrounding your home. First, it can cover many gaps and STRUCTURE EPS INSULATED holes to prevent air infiltration. Second, it reduces heat loss through the studs, SIDING WRAPS YOUR WHOLE like a warm blanket that embraces your home. EXTERIOR WALL SPACE Up to 25% of your wall area is underinsulated because most homes are insulated between the wood framing studs only. Structure EPS Insulated Siding helps insulate your entire exterior wall space, including the studs, forming a complete insulating blanket that embraces your home.
