Why Homeowners Upgrade to Insulated Vinyl
The foam backing adds meaningful R-value directly to the wall assembly and makes the panel far more impact-resistant than hollow vinyl — it holds its shape better against hail and does not oil-can in the sun the way thin standard vinyl can. A typical insulated vinyl reside on a 2,000 sqft Long Island home typically runs $22,000 – $34,000, a step up from standard vinyl and below fiber cement.
It carries a lifetime manufacturer warranty on the panel and 10 years on workmanship, same as standard vinyl, with the added energy benefit.
