AL-13
When the ordinary just won’t do, AL13 panel systems get the job done. These high-performance panels have been installed by us throughout Alberta and withstood temperatures from -40 to chinook winds without so much as a whisper. We are certified AL13 siding installers and hence know firsthand how this high-performance metal wall system performs in our climate compared with other siding materials.
Benefits of AL13 cladding
There are various types of AL13 Panels:
-
Horizontal Systems
AL13 has some of the best solutions for producing beautiful and modern façade designs by using the horizontal panel systems. These panels are ideal for both residential as well as commercial buildings as they exhibit clean and continuous lines. The system is also very effective at draining water to enhance its longevity and has a hidden fastener and seamless construction. The horizontal applications feature hidden fasteners as well as precise seams which give a high level of finish to any building’s exterior.
Colors and Finishes
Upgrade your building’s façade with top-of-the-line finishes now available at AL13. From metallic to natural finishes, to bright and bold colors, this AL13 metal cladding does not disappoint because it holds its color even after being exposed to UV for decades and adverse weather conditions. All the finishes have been taken through their paces to ensure that they keep performing great in the harsh Alberta climate. From elegant modern grey through to the beautiful wood look, the appearance finishes of the AL13 cladding collection enhance any design.
AL13 Panel System Costs: What to Expect
The cost of your project will be determined by a variety of factors unique to your property and design ideas. When investing in AL13 architectural systems, here’s what influences the pricing:
-
Project Scale
iIt is also worth noting that the size and design of your AL13 panel system affect the cost of materials and installation. Sometimes, large projects can be accomplished at a slightly lower cost due to scaling, but it can also be expensive to accomplish certain designs.
-
Installation Specifications
iInstallation of AL13 siding is a task for experts who understand how to install it properly. This isn't paint and patch kind of metal cladding; it is a very engineered system with certain features.
-
Other Costs Incorporated
iAn improved version of the AL13 panel system would be the one with a moisture barrier, insulation, and custom-cut trim pieces, features that enhance the performance and weather-tightness of the system; such features may raise the initial cost as well.

-
Material Type
iAL13 metal cladding is presented in various colors, finishes, and textures to meet your specific design needs and wants. The high-end options include wood grain and metallic finish, which are more costly but give a distinctive look to your building.
-
Surface Preparation
iWall Conditions: It all depends on the wall also because if the substrate needs a lot of work to be laid with the AL13 siding, it will cost a lot too.
-
Design Complexity
iThese would include curved walls, intricate angles, or even the use of different finishes on the same project; these may call for more AL13 cladding components and longer installation time. These elements add the aspect of customization but they may also come at a cost.
On average, the cost of installing AL13 siding in Calgary is at $38 per square foot. Thus, a rather average 1,800 sq. ft. house would roughly be around $68,400. However, the final cost will depend on the particular project that is to be undertaken and the project details such as design, material used, and site preparation.
