Corrugated metal siding is most commonly used on the outside of barns and storage and industrial buildings. It can serve as both siding and roofing, and as an environmentally friendly, low maintenance option, is becoming more popular in new home construction.

Durability

Corrugated metal siding is known for its durability and weather resistance. This is in part because it is made of metal, so it cannot be damaged by things like termites or fire. Its strength is also reinforced by the waves in its design.

Go Green

Though it is not terribly efficient as an insulating siding, it does reflect heat. This can save on energy bills in the summer months by keeping heat out, and in the winter by keeping heat in. If it should have to be replaced, it is also highly recyclable and completely non-toxic.

Cost

It is usually significantly less expensive per square foot than other options available for roofing or siding, and it generally has a lifetime (or 50 year) warranty, saving you the cost of regular replacement.

Metal Options

Corrugated metal siding is usually available in both aluminum and steel variations. The steel is harder and so more able to withstand damage from hail storms, but the aluminum performs better in areas where saltwater may cause deterioration. Choose the material most suitable to your specific housing needs.

Options

Corrugated metal siding is available in multiple widths and colors. This allows for a lot of personalization and pattern variation.
