Siding is widely used for finishing a variety of buildings. However, a cold climate makes it necessary to constantly be concerned about the maximum heat saving options.
About 30-35% of the heat of a home is lost through the exterior walls. It is important to know that good thermal insulation, in addition to substantially reducing heat loss, also provides us with increased comfort. During cold winters, a well-insulated exterior wall will maintain a constant temperature inside the building. In addition to these aspects, the insulation of the facades provides the building with a new and attractive design.
From a technical point of view, the insulation of facades has several advantages:
- It removes condensation of vapors on the inner surface of the building (stopping the appearance of mold)
- It improves thermal comfort inside the home
- It reduces noise
Siding provides insulation and becomes the ultimate barrier in freezing temperatures if it is doubled by other insulating layers created from mineral wool, fiberglass boards or polystyrene. The best siding in freezing temperatures is the one that is made from materials that do not crack from being exposed to the air turning significantly cold, as well as to frozen moisture; fiber cement, wood and stone siding are probably the best examples.
