Lesson Summary. Infrared radiation is made up of electromagnetic waves with a wavelength between 700 nm (nanometers) and 1 mm, just beyond what our eyes can detect on the red side of the spectrum. Most warm objects in our everyday experiences emit infrared, and half of the energy produced by the Sun is also infrared.his lesson will explain what infrared radiation is, and discuss a number of practical uses and effects of infrared, including its connection to climate change and the way the atmosphere responds to infrared waves.
Typical costs: Vinyl siding is relatively low-cost, low-maintenance and easy to install. It costs less than $1 a square foot for a do-it-yourself project, or $1,000-$1,250 for 1,250 exterior square feet. Having it professionally installed runs $2-$7 a square foot, or $2,500-$8,750 for 1,250 square feet.
The price for materials varies, but the cost of the siding itself is only a fraction of the overall price tag. For example, vinyl siding can range between $1.67 and 3.74 per square foot. Aluminum siding can cost between $2.40 and $5.00 per square foot.Insulated vinyl siding costs between $2.12 and $5.04 per square foot. Fiber cement siding costs between $2.07 and $5.64 per square foot. In addition to the basic materials you will need a vapor barrier, soffit and facia for the eaves, and corner trim.he average cost to replace the same amount of siding with a premium foam-backed vinyl was $13,927. Using fiber cement siding as a replacement, the average cost was $13,382. Of course, much of this investment can be recovered if you plan to sell your house.
