Q: Does insulated vinyl siding add R-value?

• <div><p>Yes, insulated vinyl siding increases the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-r-value.htm">R-value</a> of your home. Depending on the quality and brand of the insulated vinyl, you can get an R-value that is up to 5 times greater than traditional vinyl siding. This can be fantastic for homeowners who are trying to lower their utility costs.</p></div>

Q: What do you put under aluminum siding?

• <div><p>Traditionally, you place a layer of ⅜-inch foam board beneath aluminum siding. This gives you a smooth surface to which you can fasten the trim and siding. Beneath the foam board, you should have some kind of waterproof sheathing to further protect your home from water damage. It&rsquo;s possible this sheathing is already under your current siding.</p></div>

Q: How do you maintain T1-11 siding?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-make-wood-siding-last-longer.htm">how to make wood siding last longer</a>, including Composite T1-11, inspect it annually or quarterly to spot and repair cracks, holes, or chipped areas. You&rsquo;ll also want to re-stain the wood every <b>3 to 5 years </b>or repaint every <b>7 to 10 years</b> for protection (note that repainting requires stripping and sanding off old paint as well). Lastly, keep up with regular cleanings using a garden hose or low-pressure power washer to help prevent grime and discoloration. </p></div>

Q: How do you know when siding needs to be replaced?

• <div><p>Signs that you need to replace your siding include siding that&rsquo;s warping, bubbling, or cracking; signs of rot or mold growth; fading, peeling, or chipped siding or paint; or siding that&rsquo;s separating from the exterior of your house. Failing to replace your siding when it&rsquo;s damaged can lead to moisture problems or structural damage, so promptly repair or replace siding as soon as you notice any of these signs. </p></div>

Q: What is the recommended PSI for pressure washing vinyl siding?

• <div><p>The recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) for cleaning vinyl siding can vary, so it's best to consult the manufacturer's guidelines. Generally, vinyl siding can handle high pressure, from 2,500 to 3,500 PSI. For comparison, more delicate materials like wood and aluminum siding should not face more than 1,500 PSI. To safely disperse the pressure on vinyl, use a tip with a wider spray span, such as a green (25-degree) or yellow (15-degree) nozzle. For routine cleaning of light dirt, a garden hose with a spray nozzle may be sufficient. Always exercise caution to avoid using excessive pressure that could damage the siding.</p></div>
