Why Insulation Matters When Replacing Siding in Chicago
At Pro Siding Chicago, we recommend adding a layer of insulation when replacing your siding—especially in older homes. Many properties in Chicago built over 100 years ago either lack proper insulation or have outdated materials that no longer meet today’s energy efficiency standards.
We offer three types of siding insulation and three standard thicknesses:
¼”, ½”, and 1” rigid insulation panels. For the harsh winters in the Chicago area, we strongly recommend 1-inch insulation to provide maximum thermal protection and long-term energy savings.
Our Installation Process:
We begin by applying a house wrap, which acts as a moisture and air barrier, helping to prevent drafts and water intrusion. Once the house wrap is securely installed, we add the insulation boards before applying any type of siding—whether it’s vinyl, James Hardie, or LP SmartSide.
Upgrading your siding with added insulation not only boosts your home’s energy efficiency but also enhances comfort, reduces utility bills, and increases your property’s value.
