Steel Siding & Installation

Steel siding is a fine addition to any residential home or commercial building. It’s the most durable type of siding material. Newsnit summarizes the benefits of metal siding here, but here’s the short version:

It’s durable.
It’s pest-resistant.
It’s recyclable.
It’s easy to clean.

You give your building some serious Armour when you choose metal siding for your home!

Metal siding has the unearned reputation of looking industrial, but nothing could be further from the truth. It now comes in any colour or style you need to warm up your homes’s look and character. Our metal cladding ensures extra durability without removing a house’s curb appeal.

We install our steel siding on-site so that every piece is properly in place. If you like the look of Horizontal siding, we can install the siding in both a vertical or horizontal look, for your home. We carry many colour variations, so our metal siding can look however you want.

Metal Cladding

You may wonder what the difference between our metal cladding and metal siding is. Metal cladding is a type of metal siding, just like ravens are a type of bird. But just like not all birds are ravens, not all metal siding is metal cladding.

The main difference between metal siding and metal cladding is insulation. Siding can be applied directly to a wall, whereas cladding has something between the metal and the wall. The distinction is subtle, but important, especially if saving energy is one of the reasons you want metal panels.

Metal siding and roofing are excellent at reflecting heat, making them very cool in the summer. But that is not ideal in winter. Cladding provides extra insulation that makes the heat in your favorite building stay indoors, with little energy exchange. That extra layer removes one of the downsides of metal siding!

Metal cladding also tends to be thicker than metal siding. It will not look any different, but this may be important for other measurements. Look for a low gauge number if you need thick metal cladding. Ask before ordering if this is a concern.

But if you need design ideas, this article on various types of cladding will get your creative juices flowing. Remember, metal can now look like almost anything—don’t let the “industrial” appearance put you off!

Metal Roofing & Installation

Why stop at walls? If you’ve had problems with your roof, a metal roof is also an option. Many of the benefits of metal siding can also apply to getting a metal roof. Again, a metal roof can blend in with the rest of your neighbourhood, so don’t worry about aesthetics.

And just like with metal siding and cladding, metal roofing can save you money on your energy bill. However, unlike cladding, it is important to note that metal roofs do not retain heat in the winter as well. This is because your cool roof will reflect some heat outside—even when you want to keep it in. Getting insulation will help your metal roof retain heat in the winter.

Metal Walls

But you might want a simple building, like a shed, built entirely out of metal, we can do that. These buildings are low-maintenance alternatives if you need a little more space. They are also energy-efficient, but come with the same caveat as metal roofs: excellent at reflecting summer heat, but not good at keeping you warm in winter.

Many metal buildings come pre-made. They make excellent garages, sheds, and storage spaces, but are not recommended as living spaces. It can still be done. Regardless of what you choose to do with a metal-walled building, it is easy to get With infinite colours to choose from, the possibilities are endless!
