The vinyl siding on your home needs to add to the structural integrity of the building and thus needs to be durable and as seamless as possible. This is the exterior shell that protects your home. It should increase the thermal resistance (R-value) of your home and cheaper manufactures make it hollow-backed with foam, reducing the R-value. This also detracts from the structural integrity.

At the same time it did not allow the vinyl strips to “breathe” leading to trapped moisture and ensuing rot and mildew.
