Aluminium siding
Aluminium siding was created as one of the first alternatives to wood, which was able to provide protection at a more affordable price. Today, it’s still a popular solution for many landowners. The metal material is suitable for commercial & residential areas. The material is produced in rolled sheets and provides good characteristics to be used for house exterior renovations.

Make a statement with hues, textures, and color finish options for colors that will reflect your uniqueness.
Colors

It’s also possible to choose the smooth material or panels with various textures of natural materials. As aluminum siding sheets can lose their vibrant colors with years, you can easily refresh the facade by painting the covering once again.

SETTING UP
The installation of the covering presupposes special knowledge & experience. The process includes the following steps:
-
1. Preparation stage.
It’s required to remove an old covering if there’s one. After this, the walls should be cleaned — any previous caulking or painting should be eliminated.
2. The fulfillment of repairs.The walls should be thoroughly checked for any damage. The latest are to be fixed.
3. The installation of the basic layer.It’s often recommended to use foam boards for such covering. Make certain there’re no gaps.
-
4. The installation of aluminum siding.
The process is fulfilled in accordance with the selected type of material & style. Before applying the panels to the walls, accurate measurements and cutting are to be completed in order to get suitable pieces of the material. The starter strips & corner boards are set up first of all. To secure the construction, nails and screws are used.
5. Final works.It’s necessary to use caulk around the edges to provide a complete look and protection to the renovation.
Aluminum siding Canada always requires professional installation. Only in this case, you will enjoy all the benefits of the covering and guarantee its durability.
