Longboard siding
When other materials can’t cut it, longboard siding rises to the challenge. We have installed these premium aluminum longboard systems on lakefront homes and mountain chalets and watched them shrug off everything that nature throws their way. What makes this type of metal siding different isn’t just how durable it is; it’s how it marries the warm look of wood with aluminum’s incredible resilience. From sleek, modern builds to traditional renovations, longboard cladding adds both aesthetic and performance value.
