The process of siding installation
-
Site AssessmentEach project begins with an eyes-on property analysis in which we evaluate wall conditions, look for ventilation needs, and note special architectural features. This allows us to develop an installation plan tailored to your specific needs.
-
Surface Preparation
Any application first starts off with a good, smooth substrate. We tear off the old siding, making any necessary wall repairs and checking that the substrate is level, which is often important for a good, long service life and nice finish.
-
Moisture Protection
Proper water management is the key to avoiding long-term issues. We install a high-quality moisture barrier and flashing to keep water out of your structure. This also helps in energy efficiency by eliminating drafts and thermal transfer.
-
Panel Installation
Cut to size and attached with precise measurement, each panel installed of Lux should align perfectly, spacing correctly. Certified installers consider extreme temperatures that Alberta experiences and allow room for thermal movement that doesn’t compromise the integrity of the siding.
-
Finishing Details
Adding the finishing touches includes the installation of custom trims, seamless transitions, and corners-all done with great detail. We again go through and inspect all panels for stability, all joints for water tightness, and the finished look for polish and professionalism.
Lux Siding in Alberta: Modern Design Meets Exceptional Performance
Hidden fasteners, clean lines, and quick installation define the steel Lux siding system. Unparalleled weather protection and good looks complete the package. These days, there are plenty of metal siding options around, so let’s dive into what separates Lux cladding from the rest.
What Is Lux Siding?
When you choose Lux, your luxury panel facade is made of 24-gauge Galvalume-coated steel. In practical terms, that works out to roughly 0.6 mm thick.
Lux uses large interlocking panels that create a clean, uninterrupted appearance. The fasteners stay hidden, so nothing interrupts the sleek architectural look.
For homeowners who want maximum durability, Lux delivers. Like brick, fiber cement siding, and stone, steel is extremely strong and helps create an impermeable barrier for the home.
Why Pick Lux Panel Siding?
Lux is not just about appearance. It also performs at a high level in Alberta conditions. Homeowners often choose it because:
- It looks modern and clean in a way many wood, vinyl, and fiber cement systems do not.
- It is exceptionally strong and stands up well to snow, wind, and impact.
- Its factory coatings help prevent corrosion and rust.
- It is low maintenance, needing only occasional washing and periodic inspections.
- It resists peeling, cracking, and noticeable fading.
- It is made from recycled material and is fully recyclable at end of life.
- It is non-combustible and will not add fuel to a fire.
- It is built for the long term, with a realistic lifespan of 40 years and potentially much longer.
The Downsides of Lux Metal Siding
Setting clear expectations matters, so the tradeoffs should be part of the decision too:
- The premium price point is higher than entry-level siding products.
- The strongly modern appearance will not suit every home or every taste.
- Changing colors later is not as easy as it is with engineered wood or cedar siding.
Is Lux Panel Right for Your Project?
Lux is usually a strong fit if you:
- Prefer modern architecture
- Want a premium exterior finish
- Plan to stay in your home long term
- Want minimal exterior maintenance
- Appreciate clean architectural lines
- Are building a custom home
How Much Does a Luxury Panel Facade Cost?
Final siding pricing depends on project-specific factors such as design complexity, site access, added insulation, and whether existing cladding needs to be removed.
As a general range, a Lux panel system in Canada typically lands between $15.50 and $20.00 per sq ft. That places it close to other architectural panel systems such as EasyTrim and AL13.
If budget is the priority, conventional steel siding can start around $9.00 per sq ft installed, while vinyl siding remains the lowest-cost option, with entry-level systems starting near $5.00 per sq ft.
Lux Colour and Design
Lux gives homeowners a broad finish palette. The most common architectural panel colors include:
- Matte black
- Charcoal
- Graphite
- White
- Bronze
- Silver
- Other warm neutral tones
For a bolder statement, many projects also consider:
- Retro red
- Regal blue
- Terracotta
- Mahogany wood
- White oak
If you are balancing modern and traditional design cues, the right finish can bridge the gap. Our experienced team can help combine colors and materials into a facade that feels deliberate and cohesive.
Panel Orientation
Depending on the design, Lux panels can often be installed horizontally or vertically. Some homes benefit from mixing both orientations to add contrast and give the facade a more custom architectural composition.
Mix Your Materials
Choosing Lux does not mean every surface has to use the same finish. We often pair Lux panel siding with materials such as:
- Natural stone
- Cedar accents
- Engineered wood
- Metal trim
How to Care for Lux Architectural Panel Siding
One of Lux’s biggest advantages is how little maintenance it requires. In most cases, homeowners only need to:
- Wash off dirt annually to keep the finish looking sharp
- Clean gutters and downspouts twice a year to reduce debris buildup
- Inspect for damage after accidents or severe storms
There is no staining, repainting, or sealing required.
How Long Does Lux Installation Take?
Lux panels cover more area than typical Longboard, vinyl, or aluminum siding planks, so installation is generally faster than many traditional cladding systems.
On an average Alberta home, a full installation can often be completed in about a week. Smaller accent walls may take as little as one to two days.
Lux Panel Siding Warranty
The steel itself is built to last, so most warranty questions focus on the factory finish. New Lux panel siding systems come with a 40-year finish warranty, which is transferable once the warranty registration is completed.
