Types of Metal Siding

After you've decided on a metal siding in Edmonton, you will have several options. Do you want the strength and resilience of steel siding or minimal maintenance of aluminium siding? Would you like horizontal or vertical siding, and what specific material would you like?

Corrugated metal siding is becoming increasingly popular, especially for commercial buildings and modern homes. Additionally, galvanized steel is another top choice and is offered in many finishes to replicate woodgrain textures, clapboard, and stained cedar.

Our experienced staff will help you select the material, profile, and finish to match your unique style. Panels can be trimmed to fit the smallest spaces and ensure every corner looks seamless. Metal siding is ideal for the exterior of homes, businesses, barns, sheds, storage buildings, and more. You'll love this versatile material's attractive look and low upkeep.

The Environmentally Responsible Choice

Your All-Side Contracting Ltd siding installer will precision cut the steel for each piece of siding so there is as little waste as possible. However, all remnants are entirely recyclable, making your metal siding an eco-friendly choice. Steel siding is also coated with cool paint technology to reflect radiant heat. This will help keep your home cooler during Edmonton’s hot continental summers and warmer throughout the freezing-cold winters.

More Benefits of Metal Siding

Metal siding is very low maintenance. The only necessary upkeep for your new siding is the occasional spray-down to remove any collected debris.

Metal Siding Installation Process

Installing metal siding involves several steps to ensure a proper and durable finish. Here's an overview of the process:

Preparation:
Prep the area by removing existing siding and ensuring the surface is neat and smooth. This may involve fixing or substituting damaged areas of the wall.
Framing and sheathing:
They provide a sturdy siding base. This step may involve installing moisture barriers and insulation to enhance energy efficiency and control water damage.
Siding installation:
The metal siding panels are then installed starting from the bottom and working upwards. The panels are secured to the wall using screws or nails, with overlapping edges to ensure a watertight seal.
Flashing and trim:
Flashing diverts water away from vulnerable areas. Trim pieces around windows, doors, and corners help with a finished look and protect against moisture infiltration.
Finishing touches:
Any remaining trim pieces are installed, and the siding is checked for accurate installation and alignment.

Maintenance Tips

Have metal siding? Here's how you can maintain it:

Tap the deterioration or wear, such as scratches, dents or rust, on your siding with routine examinations.
To prevent water infiltration, review and replace any damaged or lost caulking or sealant around doors, windows, and trim.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or instruments that could scratch or damage the surface of the siding.
Clean the siding with a gentle detergent and water to eliminate grime, dirt, and decay.
To maintain the siding's aesthetics and durability, use a defensive coating or paint every few years.

Benefits of Steel Siding

Steel siding looks attractive and is used as an alternative to cement-based sidings. It is produced using recycled materials and is fire-resistant. Steel siding is superior in strength, thickness, and durability to aluminum siding. It lasts for many years and requires very little maintenance, as it resists rot and corrosion and doesn't absorb moisture, which can cause the growth of harmful mould, mildew, and algae. It also won't chip or crack upon impact.

In addition to its durability and strength, steel siding also can prevent damage from the outside elements and other threats, including:

Fires
Hailstones and high-speed winds
Extreme temperatures (both hot and cold)
Pests, including ants and termites
Dents (has a higher resistance than aluminum)

For rust prevention, our professional crew ensures that all edges of your metal siding in Edmonton are properly installed and covered to prevent cracks from being exposed to the elements.
