People blame the low vinyl siding melting point which ranges from 160 to 165 degrees fahrenheit.
Thermal conductivity of vinyl siding.
Thermal conductivity is a material property that describes ability to conduct heat thermal conductivity can be defined as the quantity of heat transmitted through a unit thickness of a material in a direction normal to a surface of unit area due to a unit temperature gradient under steady state conditions.
Vinyl siding is plastic exterior siding for houses and small apartment buildings used for decoration and weatherproofing imitating wood clapboard board and batten or shakes and used instead of other materials such as aluminum or fiber cement siding it is an engineered product manufactured primarily from polyvinyl chloride pvc resin.
However this is not the main reason why you are dealing with thermal distortion of vinyl siding.
Behind this skin is a layer of expanded polystyrene eps that is form fitted to the stepped siding profile of the vinyl.
It reflects radiant heat and reduces thermal conductivity to keep your house cool.
For example some brands claim to be 500 stronger than traditional vinyl siding when it comes to resisting cracks and damage from impacts by foreign objects.
The insulation is glued in place for a permanent connection.
Proper installation is as important as choosing a quality product.
The right position of the sun plus your neighbor s energy efficient windows are the leading causes of this damage.

K btu inch sq ft.
K is the heat transmitted through a 1 inch thickness of homogenous material per square foot per hour when there is 1 degree of temperature change.
Moisture management ridges provide space for ventilation.
Haven insulated siding by royal is an energy efficient cladding that comes in 15 different colors.
Insulated vinyl siding has an outer skin made of polyvinyl chloride or pvc just like standard vinyl siding.
C or thermal conductance of these materials is the reciprocal of the r value.
Premium vinyl siding is energy efficient and reflects radiant heat reducing thermal conductivity to help keep your house cool.
Thermal siding is tougher too besides being a more energy efficient siding solution most thermal vinyl siding benefits from superior manufacturing in other areas.
In the uk and new zealand a similar material is known.
