Steel siding has come a long way in the past few years. Ply Gem has utilized improvements to technology and manufacturing to develop a beautiful, long-lasting product in an array of colours that can’t be beat. Here are 7 reasons why you should consider steel siding for your next siding project:
1) It’s long lasting – Ply Gem Steel Siding is made from high quality galvanized steel for a durable, high-performance product. It is designed to be tough enough to withstand severe elements like hail, wind and snow, with a strength that will last a lifetime.
2) It has curb appeal – Ply Gem Steel Siding has an embossed woodgrain that looks just like real wood. It comes in an array of bold and eye-catching colours that instantly add curb appeal to your home. All colours, even the most rich and vibrant, are backed by a 35-year fade warranty.
3) It’s low maintenance – Steel Siding requires very little in terms of maintenance compared to other cladding choices. Just wash it off a couple of times a year. No painting, caulking, or other fixes required!
4) It’s moisture resistant – Steel siding does not absorb moisture, so mould and fungus can’t grow on it like wood or other materials. It won’t rot, which is a big advantage in high moisture climates.
5) It’s fire resistant – Metal siding is a non-flammable material. This is a tremendous advantage in high fire areas, or regions that mandate a non-combustible material when cladding new homes. Ply Gem steel siding has a Class A/Class 1 fire rating.
6) It’s sustainable - Ply Gem steel siding is made from approximately 50% recyclable material. In addition, it is 100% recyclable at the end of its life cycle, making it a sustainable cladding option that can help building owners meet the criteria for green building codes
7) It has a great warranty – Ply Gem Steel Siding features a Limited Lifetime Warranty, including 50-year hail coverage and 35-year chalk and fade coverage. That means you can rest easy once your siding is installed.
