Protect your investment with Progressive Foam Technologies© Insulated Vinyl Siding
ENERGY LOSS IS ROBBING YOU…
Typical homes lose up to:
10% through windows
15% through doors & floors
15% through draughts
25% through the roof
35% through un-insulated walls!
What’s the solution?
INSULATED VS. NON-INSULATED VINYL SIDING
NON INSULATED SIDING
Installing siding without proper insulation not only causes your home to lose energy (increasing utility bills), but it makes it more susceptible to cracking, denting, or other types of damage.
INSULATED SIDING
Saves energy and creates a more comfortable home
Reduces utility bills and dampens the sounds from outside
Protects against impact damage and pests
The contoured shape of Progressive Foam Insulation not only serves as a shock absorber against cracking, denting, and breakage, it also eliminates space where pests can nest behind the siding. The insulation material is also treated with a safe insecticide to protect it from termites.
Takes control of moisture, and prevents mold and mildew
The average household produces 4-6 gallons of water vapor daily through activities like cooking and cleaning. Progressive Foam Insulation features a perm rating of up to 5.0, which allows moisture to escape the home.

THE BENEFITS OF PROGRESSIVE FOAM INSULATION

Energy Savings & Comfort
Progressive Foam products are available in graphite-enhanced Neopor® by BASF and traditional white expanded polystyrene (EPS). Both reduce energy loss and provide a more comfortable home.
Neopor Thermal Insulation contains high-purity graphite particles that reflect radiant heat, significantly improving insulation capacity compared to traditional EPS insulation. Neopor wraps your home in an energy-saving blanket of insulation, keeping heat inside in the winter and outside in the summer.
Neopor provides up to 20% more insulating value than standard EPS, allowing for more energy savings with the same amount of material.
Pest Prevention
Most people don’t even know they have a problem until it’s too late. But Progressive Foam Siding Insulation is treated with PREVENTOL® TM EPS Preservative Insecticide (PREVENTOL® TM EPS). So, it does more than just save energy; it protects your home from insect damage. The active ingredient in PREVENTOL® TM EPS is safe for installers and homeowners. The active ingredient is used in crop protection and your pet’s topical flea and tick control treatment.
Fiberglass insulation can trap moisture and accumulate mold, and can also be a breeding ground for pests.
Moisture Management
Adding insulation to your home reduces energy loss, but it can also create potential moisture problems if water vapor gets trapped in the wall.
Progressive Foam premium Insulating Sheathing and Fanfold products with StayDry®Technology release water vapor to the outside of the home, helping to protect walls from mold and mildew.
Permeable insulation allows moisture to pass through the cells at a microscopic level so the home can breathe.
With a permeance rating of up to 4.7, you can rest assured our insulation will provide unmatched moisture management.
