Looking for new aluminum siding in Calgary? Ideal Siding offers a wide range of options installed by experienced professionals you can trust.
Aluminum siding is valued for its durability, low maintenance, and ability to protect homes from Calgary’s demanding climate.
Aluminum siding is manufactured from coiled aluminum that is shaped into panels and treated with a protective chemical coating to guard against the elements. Once coated, the material is heated and may receive an additional enamel texture for enhanced durability and appearance. The final step is painting, which adds style while providing long-lasting protection for your Calgary home.
What Is Aluminum Siding Made Of?
Aluminum siding is a lightweight exterior cladding material made from rolled aluminum sheets. The metal is shaped into panels and treated to ensure strength, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion.
To protect the surface, the aluminum receives a chemical coating and is then heated to improve durability. In some cases, an additional enamel texture is applied for enhanced appearance. Finally, the panels are painted, giving aluminum siding its finished look while providing long-lasting protection for homes in Calgary’s climate.
Advantages of Aluminum Siding
There are plenty of reasons why homeowners choose aluminum siding for their homes in Calgary instead of other exterior cladding options:
Cost-effective
Aluminum siding is one of the most affordable siding materials on the market. Its lower material and installation costs make it an excellent choice for homeowners who want to stay within budget without sacrificing performance. Many aluminum products are made from recycled materials, which helps keep pricing competitive.
Environmentally friendly
Aluminum siding is often manufactured using recycled content and is 100% recyclable at the end of its lifespan. This makes it a sustainable option for eco-conscious homeowners. In addition, aluminum provides good insulation support, helping improve overall energy efficiency.
Exceptional durability
Made from strong coil stock and reinforced with multiple protective coatings, aluminum siding is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. When professionally installed, it can last up to 50 years, making it a long-term exterior solution.
Siding types we offer
The most common style options
-
1Horizontal Aluminum SidingHorizontal aluminum siding is the most common choice and closely resembles classic lap siding. It creates a clean, timeless exterior look and works well with most architectural styles. Panels are available in various widths and finishes, making it easy to customize the appearance of your home.
-
2Vertical Aluminum SidingVertical aluminum siding is often selected for modern or contemporary designs. Installed vertically, this style adds height and visual interest to the exterior and is commonly used as an accent or for full-wall applications.
-
3Regular Aluminum SidingRegular aluminum siding is thinner and more budget-friendly. While it can dent more easily than premium options, it does not absorb moisture, meaning it will not rot or rust over time. This type of siding is available in a wide variety of colours and profiles, making it a practical choice for homeowners seeking affordability.
Over time, regular aluminum siding may fade and can produce noise as it expands and contracts with temperature changes.
-
4Premium Aluminum SidingPremium aluminum siding is significantly thicker—often three to five times thicker than regular options—and comes in larger panel sizes. Although it carries a higher upfront cost, it offers exceptional durability, refined aesthetics, and long-lasting colour that does not fade.
Many homeowners consider premium aluminum siding a lifetime investment, as it requires no replacement once installed. The primary drawback is that installation is more complex, which is why professional installation is essential.
The most common aluminum siding style options include the following:
Planks
Aluminum planks are a horizontal siding option that delivers a classic and clean exterior appearance. This style closely resembles traditional lap siding and is the most popular choice for residential homes. Aluminum planks are available in various widths, finishes, and colours, allowing homeowners to customize their exterior while maintaining a timeless look.
Panels
Aluminum panels are a vertical siding option commonly used in modern and contemporary designs. These panels are available in larger formats and create a sleek, architectural appearance. Vertical aluminum panel siding is often used for full walls or as accent features to add visual interest and contrast.
Shingles
Aluminum shingles are typically used for decorative or accent applications rather than full exterior coverage. They come in straight-edge or staggered-edge styles and are ideal for highlighting smaller areas such as dormers, entryways, or architectural details. This option adds texture and a unique design element to the home’s exterior.
If you want this to be more technical, shorter, or aligned more tightly with AL13 or Longboard product specs, I can refine it further.
