Metal Siding & Cladding
Metal siding covers a range of profiles — flush and reveal wall panels, standing seam, and corrugated — usually in prefinished steel or aluminium. It reads clean and contemporary, sheds water fast, and needs almost nothing once it's up. The finish is durable but not forgiving of a scratch, so it rewards careful handling and precise layout. Our crew has run metal on multi-family elevations and residential feature walls, tying it into fibre cement and wood with clean transition flashings.
Relative cost $$$Lifespan 40+ years for the panel; finish warranties commonly run 25–40 years.
Why homeowners choose it
- Prefinished coating lasts decades with no painting
- Non-combustible
- Sharp, modern lines — strong as a feature wall or a whole exterior
- Lightweight; sheds water and snow well
- Concealed-fastener profiles hide all hardware
What to weigh
- Can dent or scratch on impact — handling and storage matter
- Panel layout and fastener lines must be set out precisely to look right
- Expansion and contraction has to be detailed for; oil-canning shows on flat panels
- Mid-to-upper material cost
Best for
Contemporary homes, feature walls and accent volumes, and multi-family or light-commercial elevations.

FAQ
Common questions
Can you mix metal with other siding?+
Often the best use of metal is as an accent — a stair core, an entry volume, or an upper storey — with fibre cement or wood on the rest. We detail the transitions so the two systems meet cleanly and stay watertight.
