Oh, yes........ In the 60's when my folks moved to Lansing, Michigan, we
were caught up in the aluminum siding snake oil. We bought into it. For
the 20 or so years they lived in that house, it was OK, but certainly did
NOT contribute the amount of additional insulation (before the days of
R-ratings) the sales oil hawked.
The home we bought 18 years ago in NorCal mountains is poorly insulated.
When we contracted for stucco siding (for its fire-resistance) several
years ago, I looked up its insulating characteristics. Very little. In
some of the walls where there was no insulation at all, we had it added.
