Siding you can feel, not just see
This is insulated vinyl siding Dayton Ohio homes can actually feel: CertainTeed CedarBoards™ with a rigid foam backing bonded behind every panel.
Standard vinyl siding hangs on your wall. Insulated vinyl siding is bonded to a contoured foam backer that fills the gap behind the panel, and that one difference changes how the house behaves. Fewer drafts along exterior walls. Steadier temperatures room to room. Noticeably less road noise in the front rooms.
It also changes how the house looks. A rigid panel lies flat instead of rippling across a long elevation, which is the difference most people notice without being able to name it. Thrush & Son® has worked across the Miami Valley since 1960, three generations in.

A performance upgrade, not a cosmetic one
Cut both in half and the difference is obvious. That is why insulated vinyl siding Dayton Ohio homeowners choose reads differently from the street.
A thin shell with air behind it
- Wall
- Hollow gap
- Vinyl face
Touches the wall only at the nailing hem, so long walls wave between fasteners.
Foam fills the gap, wall to face
- Wall
- Contoured foam
- Vinyl face
Supported across its whole face, so the wall reads flat, solid and quiet.

Fewer cold spots
The foam backer fills the gap behind the panel, cutting drafts along exterior walls.

Quieter front rooms
An extra layer between you and the street softens traffic and mower noise.
- 03
Flatter, sharper lines
A rigid panel does not ripple across a long wall the way builder-grade vinyl does.

Almost no upkeep
No scraping, no repainting. A hose and a soft brush once a year.
One insulated system, two different looks
Both are CertainTeed CedarBoards™ with the same contoured foam backing. Choose the line that suits the house.
CedarBoards™ Insulated Siding
Horizontal lapThe classic lap profile with real cedar grain and a deep shadow line. It is the insulated vinyl siding Dayton Ohio homeowners pick most often, in 6″ and 7″ clapboard widths.
CedarBoards™ Board & Batten
Vertical panelsRaised battens for a modern farmhouse look. Run it across the whole house, or use it on gables and entryways to break up a long lap wall.

Try all 18 colors on a real home
Tap a color to see it on the siding. The roof, stone and trim stay exactly as they are.
Colors are approximate. We bring full-size samples to every estimate.
Screens and photos never show siding color perfectly. Your roof, trim, brick and even the direction your house faces change how a color reads. That’s why we bring full-size samples and hold them against your home before you choose.
Finish the frame: fascia that makes it pop
The siding sets the color. Fascia, corner boards and window trim draw the lines, and the lines are what make a house look finished.
-
Oxford Blue + White trim
Deep siding, bright fascia. The crispest outline on the street.
-
Sterling Gray + Black trim
Soft gray body with dark fascia and corners for a modern edge.
-
Sable Brown + Cream trim
Warm and traditional. Cream trim keeps a dark color from feeling heavy.
-
Spruce + White trim
A green that reads natural in a wooded lot, framed in clean white.
-
Snow + Charcoal trim
Reverse the usual. Light siding with charcoal fascia looks custom.
-
Autumn Red + Colonial white trim
Barn-red character with a softer white that suits older homes.
Match the fascia to your window trim, then decide whether the corners blend or contrast. See how we wrap fascia, soffit and exterior trim in aluminum coil, or try combinations on your own photo in the design center.
We start at the wall, not the panel
We install insulated vinyl siding Dayton Ohio walls can hold for decades. Flashing, corners and transitions are detailed last, because that finish work separates a premium exterior from a wrapped one.
- 1
Walk and measure
We walk every elevation, measure it and photograph the problem spots before we price anything.
- 2
Open up the wall
Old siding comes off and we check the sheathing, trim lines and how water moves across the wall.
- 3
Correct and wrap
Soft or damaged sheathing gets replaced, then house wrap and flashing go on before a single panel.
- 4
Hang and detail
Panels are nailed to allow expansion, then corners, fascia, trim and transitions are finished by hand.
What drives the price
- Square footage and number of elevations
- Tear-off, or going over what is there
- Corner count and trim complexity
- Damaged sheathing found under the old siding
- Profile, color and manufacturer package
Every insulated vinyl siding Dayton Ohio project has to survive humid Augusts and Januarys that cycle above and below freezing over and over. Insulated siding is not a substitute for attic insulation, but the U.S. Department of Energy explains how each layer adds up. Compare it against the rest of our siding replacement range, or read the siding warranty guide.
01Is it actually worth more than standard vinyl?
If you are staying in the house, usually yes. Standard vinyl is a cosmetic refresh. Insulated vinyl siding changes how the walls perform: fewer drafts, steadier temperatures, less noise, and a flatter finish that reads as a remodel rather than a re-wrap.
If you are selling next spring, standard vinyl may be the sensible call. We will tell you that.
02How much will it cut my energy bill?
Nobody can honestly quote you a number, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Actual savings depend on your existing wall insulation, air leakage, window and door performance, your HVAC system and your utility rates.
What we can tell you is what homeowners consistently report: the comfort difference shows up immediately, particularly in rooms over a garage or on a north wall.
03Will it really make the house quieter?
Somewhat. The foam backing adds a layer between you and the street, which dampens traffic, mowers and general neighborhood noise. It will not make a house silent, but most people notice it in front rooms.
04Why does it look flatter than regular vinyl?
Because the foam supports the panel across its whole face. Standard vinyl only touches the wall at the nailing hem, so it can wave between fasteners, which is most visible in low afternoon sun on a long elevation.
05How does it handle Dayton winters and humid summers?
CedarBoards™ is engineered for freeze-thaw cycling, wind, humidity and summer heat, and resists the cracking, warping and moisture problems that show up in cheaper panels.
The Miami Valley is harder on siding than most of the country, because we cross the freezing line repeatedly instead of staying below it. That cycling is what breaks things.
06What about high winds and storms?
Insulated systems lock together and the added rigidity helps them stay put. But the honest answer is that storms find bad installation long before they find bad material. Fastening, corners and flashing detail are what keep siding on a wall.
07What is the warranty?
CertainTeed provides warranty coverage on CedarBoards™, and the specific terms depend on the product you select and whether you are the original owner. We put the actual document in front of you rather than describing it.
Our workmanship warranty is separate, and it is also in writing.
08What maintenance does it need?
Very little. No scraping, no repainting. A rinse with a hose and a soft brush once a year keeps it looking right, and that is genuinely the whole list.
