FAQs
What is insulated vinyl siding, and how does it differ from standard vinyl siding?
Insulated vinyl siding is traditional vinyl siding that has a rigid, contoured layer of EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam permanently laminated to its back. The foam fills the hollow space behind each panel, increasing the siding’s R-value, improving impact resistance, and giving panels extra rigidity so they lay flatter on the wall. Standard vinyl siding lacks this insulation layer, so it provides less thermal performance and can flex or rattle more in high winds.
How can insulated vinyl siding lower my energy bills in Grandview’s climate?
Grandview experiences hot, humid summers and cold, windy winters. The integrated foam backing in insulated vinyl siding adds an R-value of 2.0–4.0 to your exterior walls, reducing thermal bridging through studs and helping your HVAC system maintain a stable indoor temperature. Homeowners typically report heating and cooling savings of 10–16 %, and the upgrade can help meet or exceed current IECC energy-code requirements for the Kansas City metro area.
Is insulated vinyl siding durable enough for Grandview’s severe weather (hail, wind, and moisture)?
Yes. The insulation layer increases panel thickness and rigidity, allowing the siding to withstand winds up to 160 mph, resist hail impact better than hollow-back vinyl, and shed heavy rainfall without warping. Most major manufacturers also add UV inhibitors and color-through technology, so the finish won’t peel, chip, or fade quickly even under Missouri’s strong summer sun.
Can you install insulated vinyl siding over my existing cladding, or will you have to remove it first?
In many cases we can install insulated vinyl siding directly over sound, flat wood or fiber-cement boards, which saves time and landfill waste. However, if your current siding is warped, rotten, or already two layers thick, local code requires a tear-off. During your free on-site evaluation, our Grandview team will check wall flatness, moisture levels, and flashing to determine the best approach.
What kind of maintenance will I need to perform, and how do I clean insulated vinyl siding?
Insulated vinyl siding is virtually maintenance-free. It will never need painting or caulking. To keep it looking new, rinse it once or twice a year with a garden hose and a soft-bristle brush using a mild soap solution (1/3 cup laundry detergent to 1 gallon water). Avoid harsh solvents, wire brushes, and high-pressure power washers that exceed 1,300 psi. Inspect caulked joints around windows and doors annually and clear debris from gutters to prevent water backup.
How long does installation take, and what warranties do you provide?
A typical single-family home in Grandview takes 3–5 days for complete removal (if needed) and installation, depending on weather and home size. We are a certified installer for several leading manufacturers, so you’ll receive a transferable limited lifetime product warranty plus our own 10-year workmanship warranty covering labor, flashing, and fasteners. Registering the warranty is free and can add resale value if you sell your home.
