Vinyl siding is a popular choice when it comes to your home's cladding and actually lasts much longer than expected. With no effort or cleaning, it's expected to last you about 60 years but with meticulous care and maintenance, you can expect your vinyl siding to last up to 100 years.

Most exterior walls have insulation in between the wall studs, but allow significant energy loss through the studs themselves, which are poor insulators. This is called thermal bridging. Insulated siding improves energy efficiency by reducing thermal bridging like a blanket, it is continuous insulation over the studs, which helps homes stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
