ABOUT STEEL SIDING

Steel siding is available as a cladding material for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. It is extremely robust, and if suitably treated it can provide long life with very little maintenance. A wide choice of profiles is available, some simulating traditional wooden siding, others of a more industrial appearance. Steel siding is available with factory applied finishes, including oven-fused PVC coatings. A wide choice of colors is available, typically more than 20 from a single manufacturer. Complementary color-coated steel soffits and trim are also available.

For highly corrosive industrial environments, stainless steel siding may be used. This is highly resistant to corrosion, and may be used for roofing and decking as well as siding.
