Abstract

A composite interlocking vinyl or other veneer siding having an elongated insulating member bonded to a vinyl panel with a permanently flexible adhesive that is compatible with both vinyl and insulation material and does not harden. The insulating member is configured such that a front face of the insulating material exactly coincides with the profile of the front face of the vinyl member. The insulating member forms a shallow shelf at an upper edge of the insulating member and an adjacent insulating member forms another shelf to overlap the adjacent shallow shelf to form a shiplap seal when assembled. Horizontal and vertical edges of the vinyl siding and insulating member are configured to overlap when mounted.

Claims

1. In a composite siding panel having an outer panel formed from vinyl, the improvement comprising:

an insulating member formed of an insulating material and having an outer surface secured to the inner surface of the vinyl outer panel with a permanently flexible adhesive to form a laminated composite siding panel.

2. The improvement of claim 1, wherein the outer surface of the insulating member has a complementary profile with respect to the inner surface of the outer panel.
