Common Questions

Metal Siding FAQs

Common questions about metal siding installation in Peterborough & the Kawarthas.

What types of metal siding do you install?

We install standing seam, architectural panels, corrugated, and plank-profile metal siding systems.

  • Standing seam — clean vertical lines with concealed fasteners
  • Architectural panels — modern flat-lock and cassette systems
  • Corrugated — classic agricultural and industrial aesthetic
  • Plank profiles — horizontal lines mimicking wood lap siding
How long does metal siding last?

Quality metal siding lasts 40–60+ years with factory-applied coatings that resist fading, chalking, and corrosion.

  • Galvalume and aluminium substrates resist corrosion
  • Kynar/PVDF coatings hold colour for 30+ years
  • No rot, warping, or insect damage
  • Minimal maintenance over the life of the cladding
Is metal siding energy efficient?

Yes. Metal siding reflects radiant heat, and insulated panel options add R-value to improve your building envelope.

  • Reflective surface reduces solar heat gain
  • Insulated metal panels available for higher R-value
  • Properly installed, it creates a tight air barrier
  • Can reduce heating and cooling costs year-round
Does metal siding dent easily?

Modern metal siding is engineered for impact resistance. Heavier gauge steel and aluminium profiles handle typical impacts well.

  • Gauge thickness is selected based on exposure and application
  • Commercial-grade profiles offer greater impact resistance
  • Minor dents do not affect waterproofing performance
  • Damaged panels can be individually replaced if needed
Can metal siding be installed over existing siding?

In some cases yes, but we generally recommend removing old siding to inspect and correct the wall substrate.

  • Inspecting sheathing and moisture barriers is best practice
  • Furring strips may be used for proper drainage plane
  • Overlay adds weight that must be accounted for
  • Full removal ensures the best long-term result
How does metal siding compare to vinyl?

Metal is more durable, fire-resistant, and holds its colour longer. Vinyl is lower cost upfront with a wider range of profiles.

  • Metal: 40–60 year lifespan vs 20–30 for vinyl
  • Metal is non-combustible; vinyl melts in high heat
  • Metal holds colour longer with PVDF coatings
  • Vinyl costs less upfront but requires earlier replacement
