The question often posed by homeowner’s to our exterior renovation staff is whether to choose steel / aluminum, fiber cement (Hardie for example), or Vinyl Siding?
Some homeowners still have aluminum or steel siding on their homes that has done the job and lasted for many years. And today, most homes have vinyl siding. When it comes time for siding replacement, many wonder if they should stay with aluminum, steel, or vinyl siding or make a switch to the newer composite siding offerings.
Aluminum Siding
Aluminum siding has drawbacks due to market changes and performance. There are fewer choices as siding manufacturers are offering less. Style and color choices for aluminum or steel siding are limited. Also, aluminum is a soft material and has the least resistance to denting from rocks, balls and hail. Aluminum siding is also prone to scratching. Many of our clients are in the hail areas of Western Canada and as such this is a considerable issue for insurance claims.

Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding has become the standard. Statistics show that Vinyl Siding accounts for about double the siding market. Vinyl siding is most affordable and performs well delivering excellent value. Vinyl siding now offers fade-resistant technologies for long-lasting color, choices for high grade thickness for better durability and hail resistance, and adhered foam backers are available for insulating your home while installing your new siding.

Steel Siding
Steel siding is still installed on homes and businesses. Steel is strong and dent-resistant, fire-resistant, recyclable and can be coiled allowing for seamless installation. It is however limited in design and color and is cost prohibitive for some.
Composite Siding (Fiber Cement Siding)
A growing number of homeowners are looking to composites like fiber cement for their next siding renovation. Solid board construction provides wood-like strength and insulation properties, while remaining resistant to bugs, salt, rot, and damage.
Why Fiber Cement Siding?
