Metal siding is increasingly used in construction, but not everyone knows what it is, its features and advantages. Long lightweight panels, the width of which varies from 120-300, for the manufacture of which galvanized steel, polymer-coated steel and aluminum are used in the modern construction industry are called metal siding.
This finishing material has gained popularity due to its characteristics, including aesthetics, durability, manufacturability, resistance to weathering and corrosion, as well as mechanical stress. Let's take a closer look at them.
- Aesthetics - metal siding has a wide range of colors, the original shape of the profiles, when working with it, it is possible to use a variety of technical and design solutions.
- Durability - this finishing material is provided with an operational guarantee for a period of 30-35 years, while its color fastness exceeds 10 years.
Such a characteristic of metal siding as manufacturability provides for the possibility of obtaining rolled siding of the required size, as well as the availability of a wide range of component profiles. When installing this type of siding, vertical and horizontal installation of panels is allowed, the locking part of which is convenient and reliable. In addition, installation work can be carried out at any time of the year, since weather conditions do not affect their quality. The resulting structure, which in the circle of builders is called the "wall on a relative" provides natural ventilation of the facade and insulation, if any. In addition, there is the possibility of additional installation of insulation between the outer wall of the building and the siding.
Atmospheric and corrosion resistance (temperature range varies from -60 to +80 degrees Celsius) - this characteristic of metal siding makes it possible to use it in extremely unfavorable conditions, in which many other materials change their appearance and cease to fulfill their functions.
The above-described qualities make it possible to use metal siding in the process of constructing objects for various purposes and to apply it in finishing the facades of buildings, including industrial enterprises, administrative and technical buildings, sports and recreation complexes, service stations, shopping pavilions in the markets and even buildings with increased security, such as Gas station.
