When it comes to energy efficient insulation, Alside’s Platinum Series Insulation is the best in the industry and the one we install in all of our homes we work on. (Not installed with Siding Panels that already have insulation attached) Made from extruded polystyrene foam, it provides a continuous layer of thermal and air infiltration protection when installed over old siding.
Did you know that air infiltration and thermal bridging through studs account for 55% of a home’s energy loss? Envy Home Services offers inexpensive siding insulation by Alside that can reduce your energy bills by as much as 40 percent, saving money and global fuel resources. Alside insulated siding offers up to 5 times the R-value of conventional insulation resulting in an annual energy savings in the Chicagoland market of approximately $467.
The Platinum Series Insulation board comes with interlocking edges. These boards feature shiplap edges for tight fit and improved energy efficiency. Installation is quick and leaves the job site clean. It’s also resistant to air and moisture so you’re new siding will last you a lifetime.
