Wow...is this product so new no one has used it, or is it just a bad time of year to post? I'd really appreciate anything anyone can tell me about this product. Thanks!
I did not see your first post.
and can only offer that I have never heard of it.
But, stranger things have happened.
Best of luck in gathering the info.

Hello,
No, this product has been around awhile I have it installed on my home(Polar Wall Plus), as far as the product goes I like it very much and it seems to preform well here in (Mississippi).
Just a couple things I'm not too keen on is the trim corner peices, every so often the styrofoam inside the trim works it's way down and sticks out the bottom,not really a big thing ,you just push it back up inside the trim.
prior to the installation I stripped off all the existing "fiber board" siding back down to the exterior sheeting and applied 3/4" styrofoam sheeting and taped all seams /joints with a water sheild tape used on window installations, then installed the "Polar Wall" siding. It tightened up the house quite abit.
another thing is that due to the thickness of the product it recesses your outside door handles alittle and makes it a little bit harder to turn the door knob if you have something in your hand ie,keys,cellphone ect., this is partly due to having the door frams wrapped with the aluminum trim, that is onething I would do differant if I were doing it again, in stead of using aluminum,I would use vinyl instead the aluminum scraches and dents very easly where it wraps the door frame.
