The benefits of sheet metal cladding for Vancouver properties

Sheet metal cladding is a material option for building projects that has been growing in popularity. It has many advantages when compared to other building materials such as vinyl, wood and stucco. In today’s blog we will be looking at the benefits of sheet metal cladding for Vancouver properties.

Durability

This is the main advantage of sheet metal cladding as it is one of the toughest options on the market. It is rot resistant, moisture resistant, fire resistant, impact resistant and able to last a lot longer than wood before it needs replacing.

Weather Resistance

Sheet Metal Cladding is incredibly weather resistant, able to put up with pretty much anything the Vancouver climate can throw at it.

Light Weight

Sheet Metal Cladding is one of the lightest options for siding and roofing that you can choose. This lightness makes it ideal for buildings that can’t make use of heavier materials like stone or brick and in many cases is even lighter than wood or composite options.

Low Maintenance

One of the biggest advantages of sheet metal cladding is how low maintenance it is compared to other options. These panels often just require simple cleaning with mild brushes to maintain their look.

Easy to Install

Many sheet metal products have been designed to be easy to install with simple panels that can often be snapped together. This ease of installation will save you time and money compared with other options.

Design Versatility

Metal can be shaped to meet the needs of pretty much any cladding project allowing you a great deal of design freedom. Pretty much any portion of any building can have sheet metal cladding custom designed to fit if necessary.

Appearance Customizability

Sheet Metal Cladding is available in a variety of styles, finishes and colors. From a cool, industrial look with standard sheet metal to imitation wood that mimics the look and feel of natural wood while maintaining the advantages of sheet metal.
