"bubbled" vinyl siding
"bubbled" vinyl siding
(OP)
bubbled vinyl siding.
Siding installed directly over wood siding (furring strips). Siding is backed with styrofoam insulation but no weather-resistive barrier (see attached pics). The siding was painted about three years ago. I have already considered sunlight ray damage from neighbor's windows but all of the evidence leading to that cause just does not add up.
I am considering moisture damage in combination with inadequate attachment of nails (installed too tightly). Any other thoughts?

Certainly one of the worst installations that I have ever looked at.
RE: "bubbled" vinyl siding
I find pictures #3, #4 and #5 to be interesting:
#3 and #4 it appears as if the siding has not been "slid" into the J channel. It appears as if the J channel might not be deep enough for this application.
#5 appears to be taken at the end of a piece of siding. Most of the vinyl I have worked with in the past have 1" slots cut out of the bottom corner of each siding piece to allow for thermal expansion. Odd that this siding does not have such a piece.
Do you know the mfr of the siding? Also, are all of the sides of the house like this?
