House addition in Whitemarsh PA
We started installing sidding on our house addition project in Whitemarsh - PA. Started by preparing the surface, We installed 1/2" insulation all around the house ( new addition and existing house) *It was a decision between ½" and ¾" foam. Anything thicker would have made the new siding protrude too far from the existing window and corner trim. I would prefer the thicker insulation, but the available length of nails for the fiber-cement siding limited how much space we could put between the wall sheathing and the siding. Improving the insulation has two components: Increasing the R-value of the total wall assembly, and reducing the amount of air infiltration, which is commonly known as draftiness. Please stay tuned for updates and new pictures Feel free to contact us for any remodeling needs !!
