Can You Install Foam Insulation Board behind James Hardie Plank Fiber Cement Siding, Vinyl Siding or Cedar Siding?
It’s very common to install foam insulation board over the subwall before siding is installed. This does help with energy efficiency and approved per manufacturer guidelines.
James Hardie and other siding manufactures allow up to 2” of foam backer to be installed. Remember when you are adding foam, you are building out away from the walls. Sometimes this can cause siding and window trim to stick out past the window frame. Contact us for more advice on what size foam board you should have installed.
Dow Foam Board can increase the R- Value of the wall by up to 20% and is made from Polystyrene. 2” Dow Foam has a maximum R- Value of 10 (4’x8’ sheet 2” thick).
