Exterior Insulation & Vinyl Siding Renovation
The original stucco exterior was still in good shape on this home, but was lacking a bit aesthetically. And the siding on the front was starting to show its age as well. The homeowners opted to replace their siding at the same time that they updated their windows.
Given the siding change, they thought they would take advantage of the opportunity to increase their R value at the same time. We installed 1.5” Enerspan exterior insulation over the existing stucco. Because vinyl siding can only be installed directly over 1.5” of a non structural substrate or less without strapping, we had to add strapping over the insulation to secure the siding (the insulation used was 1.5”, and the existing stucco is roughly 3/4”).
The pressure treated wood strapping was fastened with structural screws into the existing framing, and then the new vinyl siding was installed. Royal’s Harvard Slate vinyl siding was chosen, and looks amazing against the new windows. The black smart trim around the windows is a gorgeous craftsman touch, and helps bring a little extra character to the home as well.
