I am having confusion for choosing vinyl siding. Many contractors suggest to put a small foam bord in place of insulation, after they wrap the wall with tywek. The vinyl siding manufactorors’ websites boasts about the insulated vinyl sidings on their energy savings. The cost is a big factor if I choose to use the insulated vinyl sidings. I compared heart-land, alside, crane, and polar - wall. Any guidence will be useful.

LOOK AT THE R VALUE RATING, THE HIGHER THE NUMBER THE BETTER THE INSULATING VALUE, THE OTHER OPTION IS TO USE NON INSULATED, BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT, TYVEC WRAP, AND FOAM PANELS FOILED BOTH SIDES, TAPE ALL SEAMS WITH FOIL TAPE SEAL TOP AND BOTTOM, FOIL FOAM COMES IN MANY DIFFERENT THICKNESS, IT WORKS REAL WELL AND IS WORTH THE MONEY, ADJUST YOUR MATERIAL TO WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD, OR GO FOR THE BEST AND DO A SIDE AT A TIME AS YOU CAN AFFORD IT.
