ALUMINUM SIDING

Aluminum siding is similar in appearance to vinyl in that it is made in sheets that fit together by overlapping and locking each panel onto the one below it. Also, like vinyl, aluminum can be produce with a wide variety of finishes and was, in fact, the first “imitation wood” siding.

It comes in almost any color and can be painted. However the factor paint is usually more durable and will last longer.

A primary complaint against aluminum siding is that it dents easily. It is true that the material is rather fragile. It is not a project for the do-it-yourself person. It is however impervious to termites and will not burn or melt.
