YOUR BEST SIDING DECISION @ ilw
Five wood veneer layers give PLYLAP outstanding stability and performance.
Plus PLYLAP does not swell or warp like imitation molded fiber sidings, or split and curl like lumber sidings!
It is made of expanded polystyrene insulation encapsulated in a sturdy woodgrained corrugated cardboard outer lamination. All major components are pre-assembled and require no cutting or fitting.
The insulation capsule is said to reduce attic noise, dust and drafts and keep homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer by preventing hot attic air from infiltrating into living areas.
