A surplus of aluminum during World War 2 led to the introduction of aluminum sidings. The humble aluminum siding has come a long way since then, and it was the precursor to vinyl. Aluminum sidings were the first to take on the appearance of fake wood. Aluminum siding is as easy as vinyl siding to install but isn't as forgiving during installation. They can get easily dented when you’re installing them, but aluminum sidings are very durable once they are in place.
Although aluminum is known to cause heat-loss from a home, many people find that aluminum sidings are very energy efficient and save you money in terms of energy spent on heating the home in winter and keeping it cool during summer. Corrosion is another problem that you may face with aluminum sidings, but you can get around this by painting your aluminum siding. Make sure that you use a paint that is water-resistant.
The good thing about aluminum sidings is that they are sold in lengths which makes it easy for you buy the quantity that you need. You can get aluminum siding in a number of colors and textures including the look of natural metal. If you’re looking for an siding contractor in the Arlington area, we can help you find one.

My home is 2800 sq/ft and I would like to replace all the T-111 siding with Hardie Board. Almost the entire outside of the house is T-111.
