Is It Necessary to Install Insulation When Replacing Siding in a Chicago Home?
Yes, especially considering the cold winters and extreme temperature swings in Chicago, IL, Pro Siding Chicago Inc. highly recommends installing exterior insulation during any siding replacement project—particularly when the interior of the home is not being remodeled.
While newer homes are typically insulated from the inside, many older homes (50+ years) in Chicago were built without proper wall insulation. To improve thermal performance, comfort, and energy efficiency, we advise installing 1/2-inch or 1-inch rigid foam insulation under the new siding.
This insulation must be properly sealed at all seams, followed by a layer of Tyvek house wrap, also carefully taped and sealed to ensure maximum weather protection—essential for withstanding Chicago’s cold fronts and winter storms.
