Steel Siding

The benefits of steel siding are that it will not rot, blister, burn, or be eaten by bugs; however, it will rust if scratched.

Extruded panels in types and dimensions the same as vinyl come in a wide array of factory-baked colors and smooth and wood-grain textures.

With proper care, steel siding will last from 40 years up to the life of your house.

Maintenance includes an annual hosing doewn and promptly painting any scratches to prevent rust.

Because steel siding is difficult to handle and cut, installation is best left to professionals.
