Maximum Moisture Management

HalfbackH20 features built-in moisture management grooves that allow bulk water to efficiently drain down the wall and away from the home.

Versatility

The flat face of HalfbackH20 makes it is versatile enough to be used with any kind of siding, including fiber cement, engineered wood, shakes, scallops, and stone.

Manages Water Vapor

An average household produces 4-6 gallons of water vapor inside daily. HalfbackH20 features a perm rating up to 3.5, allowing moisture to escape the home. This reduces the chance of mold and mildew growth, creating a healthier home and longer lasting siding.

HalfbackH20 does more than manage moisture.

Save Energy and Create a
More Comfortable Home

HalfbackH20 adds an r-value up to 5.0 to the siding, helping to save energy, reduce utility bills, and create a more comfortable home all year long! Adding insulation to the exterior of a home also helps dampen sounds from outside for a more enjoyable interior.

Levels the Wall for
Improved Appearance

Adding HalfbackH20 siding insulation helps level the wall behind new siding, reducing the visibility of imperfections in the wall that otherwise might create a less-than-perfect appearance.

Protect Against Damage From Pests

HalfbackH20 siding insulation is treated with PREVENTOLTM EPS, a safe insecticide which protects the foam from termite damage. This provides an extra layer of defense between your home and mother nature.

White EPS

EPS is a closed cell, rigid foam insulation made of 98% air and 2% plastic. EPS has been proven to be a safe material which provides excellent thermal insulation properties.

Neopor

Neopor® has similar properties to EPS, but contains high-purity graphite particles which reflect heat as it passes through the insulation, slowing it down. This graphite gives our Premium Series insulation its super-efficiency and dark gray color.
