Beats fiber cement siding…hands down.Head to head and wall to wall, Structure EPS Insulated Siding outperforms fibercement products in critical categories. While Structure EPS Insulated Sidinggoes on cleanly and stays on reliably season after season, fiber cement needscontinual maintenance or it can absorb moisture, crumble and delaminate. Thiscan happen most often at the ground level and everywhere seams are caulked.Mold and mildew can result. Even when installed according to manufacturer’sinstructions, fiber cement can sustain cracks and nail holes on the front andback of the plank, where they are often unseen by the homeowner. These voidsprovide the perfect environment for mold and mildew growth. Furthermore,some fiber cement produces silica dust during the installation process. Silicadust can cause lung disease.

Absorbed moisture can compromise the integrity of fiber cement, causing it to crumble and delaminate.

Unlike some fiber cementproducts, vinyl siding does notproduce harmful silica dust —

silica dust can cause lung disease.

CHOOSING SIDES: HOW TO SELECT THEINSULATED SIDING THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU.Certain features can mean big differences in how your new siding looks and performs in the long run.

Structure EPS Insulated Siding features one of the thickestinsulated panels in the industry. In fact it’s over 10% thickerthan competitive panels — up to 1-1/4" real insulation.

INSULATION THICKNESS,BONDING AND R-VALUE.Thicker EPS insulation providesmore rigidity, noise reduction andat least a 3.8 R-value or greater.Structure® EPS Insulated Sidingis manufactured using a specialhigh-molecular weight resinformula. This high-performanceformulation is easily recognizedby its virgin white coloration andhigher degree of strength.

VINYL THICKNESS AND WEIGHT.Usually, a thicker panel lays flatter,hides imperfections in the wall andspans depressions. It’s also moreimpact resistant, so it stands up tohail, stray baseballs and otherimpact damage. Insulated panelsprovide a backing that enhancesthe siding’s impact resistance.

STRUCTURE EPS INSULATED SIDING OFFERSA BIGGER, BEEFIER NAIL HEM AND LOCK.Structure EPS Insulated Siding (right) containsa bigger nail hem and lock, contributing to itspowerful 190 mph wind speed rating.

A folded-over nail hem or a projectednail ridge/stop provides extradimensional strength and a strongeranchoring surface. It also reduces thechance of driving nails too tightly againstthe wall, allowing horizontal expansionand contraction and preventing thesiding panel from buckling.

NAIL HEM.The nail hem is the row of open slotsthrough which siding is nailed to theexterior wall. Nail-hem strengthdetermines how securely the sidingpanel will fasten to the wall andwithstand hurricane-force wind loads.

ENHANCED PANEL PROJECTION.Structure EPS Insulated Siding’s larger panelprojection will cast a more defined shadow linefor improved aesthetics and curb appeal.

PANEL PROJECTION.The panel projection provides stiffnessthat makes the panel stronger andmore dimensionally stable. The panelprojection provides higher windresistance, making the panel stronger,more rigid and easier to install.

Unfortunately, wide vertical (and highly visible) seams are all toocommon with many standard insulated products.

Vertical seams (above) are shorter, making them virtually invisibleon Structure EPS Insulated Siding.

MASTIC V.I.P. LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY.It’s always important to read and understand the fine print in the siding warranty beforepurchasing the product. Some “lifetime warranties” fail to cover basic things like haildamage or color fade. Remember, your siding warranty is only as good as the companythat offers it, so be sure it is backed by a name you trust.

PROFILE WIDTH.To make vertical seams lessnoticeable, avoid triple- orquad-stacked insulated sidingpanels. Wide vertical seamslook unnatural and are usuallymuch more visible than single-or double-stacked profiles.

COLOR.When selecting a color for your home, be sure to consider the environment and climatewhere you live. Generally, lighter colors reflect heat, while darker colors absorb heat.What’s more, dark colors are particularly susceptible to color change over time,especially in harsh climates. Compare color-hold technologies to make sure you’regetting a premium product that will stay beautiful for the long haul.

VSI PRODUCT CERTIFICATION.Be sure to look for siding that is certified through the VSI product certification program.

VSI CERTIFIED INSTALLER PROGRAM.Proper installation performed by an experienced, VSI-certified installer is perhaps the single mostimportant factor for success in your remodeling or construction project.

VERTICAL HEIGHT IMPACT TEST Measuresthe product’s durability and ability to resistimpact forces — the result of proper thickness,formulation and impact modifiers.

GLOSS TEST A digital readout microglossmeter is used to scan siding to determine ifits gloss falls within a target range. Gloss isimportant to the aesthetic appeal of the siding.

COLOR READ TEST Using a spherical spectrophotometer, a10,000-watt xenon flash tube bounces light off siding panels.This information is then analyzed to determine if the colorfalls within accepted ranges for consistency and match.

WEATHERING Color retention (resistance to fading) is testedby subjecting Mastic products to real-time weather conditionsand accelerated UV testing. This ensures that Mastic productswill hold up in the most extreme environmental conditions.

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 aroundwindows, doors, the foundation, air vents and other openings.

+ Wood framing. Most wood-framed homes have insulation in thewall cavity between the framing studs only. In these homes, the studbecomes a thermal bridge. A thermal bridge is created when materialsthat are poor insulators come in contact, allowing heat to flow throughthe pathway. Wood framing studs, which comprise up to 25% of total wallspace, provide a perfect pathway for heat loss.

Structure EPS Insulated Siding helps solve both problems by creatinga thermal “break” surrounding your home. First, it can cover many gaps andholes to prevent air infiltration. Second, it reduces heat loss through the studs,like a warm blanket that embraces your home.

STRUCTURE EPS INSULATEDSIDING WRAPS YOURWHOLEEXTERIOR WALL SPACEUp to 25% of your wall area isunderinsulated because mosthomes are insulated betweenthe wood framing studs only.Structure EPS Insulated Sidinghelps insulate your entire exteriorwall space, including the studs,forming a complete insulatingblanket that embraces your home.
