Types of Longboard Siding

Horizontal Profiles
Aluminum longboard siding with horizontal profiles works to marry that classic look with modern durability, introducing that timeless aspect that traditional woods once offered. It will simply never warp, rot, or swell like wood. Perfectly applicable to modern homes or heritage renovations, from sea to sea in Canada. Not only does the interlocking of panels offer flawless installations, but it also has much higher resistance against moisture; it serves the extreme weather conditions perfectly in Alberta.
Vertical Applications
Longboard metal siding in a vertical application is dramatic and modern with bold, clean lines that work well with modern architectural designs. Advanced engineering has eliminated the problems of thermal expansion, allowing the panels to stay perfectly aligned without buckling or distortion. This makes vertical applications one of the best options for commercial and residential properties where a sleek, minimalist look is desired.
Soffit Systems
Longboard soffit is a modern siding system component that protects your eaves while serving excellent ventilation for better airflow in your attic. The soffit systems are presented in different widths and styles to continue the continuity of your exterior look and bear the temperature fluctuations. The longboard soffit systems are also presented with perforation options to add more ventilation and keep your home energy efficient throughout the year.
Custom Designs
Longboard cladding is designed to bend and twist into even the most intricate architectural detail, from curved walls to complicated angles and unique design elements. Its lightweight aluminum composition allows creativity and flair without giving up strength. From a variety of colors and textures to wood grain and metallic appearances, longboard siding installation ensures your vision comes alive with unparalleled durability.
Wood Grain Finishes
For those who desire the warmth of wood but not necessarily all that comes with it, Longboard aluminum sidings offer exceptional wood grain finishes emulating natural timber. These are UV-resistant, ensuring that the deep natural tones emit their brilliance for years without fading or peeling.
Metallic Profiles
Sleek metallic finishes lend themselves to either modern or industrial appearances. Longboard cladding metallic profiles go well with any modern design and commercial properties. These have a clean, polished look that works together with elements made of glass and concrete.

Colors and Finishes
