Fullback

While vinyl siding offers many options to make your home more beautiful, adding contoured Fullback ® V insulation provides additional value and options that were never before possible with traditional vinyl:

Provides additional support to the siding panel

Gives your home the look and feel of real wood

Eliminates waving, sagging, shifting and warping

Curb appeal and close up appeal

Vinyl siding improves the value of your home, in addition to its appearance. However, if your siding does not stand up to the elements and maintain its “like new” appearance over time, you will not be able to recoup as much of your investment.

Fully supporting your new siding panel with Fullback®V will help it maintain its shape over time and protect it from impact damage.

There may be an energy leak in your walls that is costing you money every day! The culprits are the wood studs in your walls: heat bypasses the insulation in your wall cavity and transfers through the studs, allowing energy to leak through your walls. This process is called thermal bridging. Nearly 25% of your home’s wall is made up of studs that typically are not insulated, so it’s like having one entire wall of your home with no insulation. Adding insulation to your home’s exterior under new siding can help your home meet U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) insulation recommendations, as well as state and local codes. The DOE says, “When new siding is to be installed, it’s a good idea to consider adding insulation under new siding.”*

As homeowners strive to better seal and insulate their homes, they may be causing issues like mold and mildew growth, which can generate serious health threats. The average family of four produces 4-6 gallons of water vapor a day in the home, and that moisture must be able to escape. Fullback®V siding insulation is designed to shed water and allow the wall to dry completely with a permeability rating up to 5.0, reducing the chance for mold and mildew growth in the walls. Additionally, Fullback®V is treated with PREVENTOL®TM EPS, a systemic insecticide which protects it from termites. The active ingredient is safe for homeowners and installers, and is commonly used as a topical treatment for pet flea and tick control at higher concentrations.

Not only can you reduce your utility bills by wrapping your home in an energy-saving blanket of insulation, you can enjoy more consistent indoor temperatures from room to room. In addition, a thick layer of Fullback®V insulation can also dampen exterior sounds, making your indoor home environment more quiet and comfortable.
