Abstract

Methods for fabricating sidings and methods for securing those sidings to structures are disclosed. Additionally, this disclosure teaches embodiments of sidings that can be secured to structures. For some embodiments, the siding comprises an insulation and a panel. The insulation and the panel are coupled to each other prior to installation of the siding. This coupling is achieved by non-adhesive coupling mechanisms.

Claims

1. A method for fabricating sidings, the method comprising the steps of:

providing an insulation;

providing a panel; and

non-adhesively coupling the insulation to the panel.

2. The method of claim 1, the step of non-adhesively coupling the insulation to the panel comprising the steps of:

aligning the insulation with the panel; and

driving a mechanical fastener through the insulation and the panel.

3. The method of claim 2, the step of driving the mechanical fastener through the insulation and the panel comprising the step of driving the mechanical fastener through the insulation prior to driving the mechanical fastener through the panel.
