Energy Efficient Metal Siding

The green solution creates a thermal mass and increases the overall r value of the wall.

Energy efficient metal siding. Bridger steel s metal panels are 100 recyclable making them an even more energy efficient and eco friendly building material choice. 60 years requires only annual maintenance and reflects heat making it more energy efficient than a traditional asphalt roof. What is the most energy efficient siding. To achieve the most energy efficiency and to make your home greener you can also consider installing photovoltaic solar panels on top of your standing seam metal roof.

The higher the r value the more efficient the building material is. These benefits make metal roofing a better long term investment for your home. However if you combine metal siding options such as aluminum steel and vinyl with insulating foam you can greatly increase the overall energy efficiency of your home. It fights thermal bridging by blanketing a home s exterior to reduce energy loss through the studs.

Better than vinyl fiber cement. Pv solar panels can be easily integrated with standing seam metal roofs without compromising your roof s beautiful looks or structural integrity. As we stated before the energy efficiency of standard siding materials is poor at best. In many cases insulated aluminum steel and vinyl siding.

The truth is no standard siding material offers very good efficiency. Most energy experts suggest that your home s walls should have at least an r 13 energy efficiency. The energy efficiency for building materials is known as r value. In energy codes and energy efficiency programs such as leed v4 insulated siding is recognized as a form of continuous insulation.

Due to their longevity durability and environmental performance metal roofs are a great choice for those looking to be more energy efficient. Due to metal roofing s incredibly efficient solar reflectance and thermal emittance metal is the ideal roofing material for the construction of a net zero energy home. Many siding contractors and manufacturers will tell you that their siding is the most energy efficient option but we re proud to offer lp smartside composite siding and insulated vinyl siding that rests flat against the house offering more style and protection against a draft. Metal siding on a house beats plastic anyday.

In wide 10 and narrow 6 profiles. Metal roofing is also passive house ready in several key areas. In fact that is code in many areas. Aluminum steel and vinyl siding come in next with an r value 61.
