8" Alumnium Siding
I am in the beginning stages of putting an addition on my house. I would like to try to match what i currently have on my house. So the question is, do they still make alumnium siding; or would i have to have all of the new siding made on a brake. Or, are there any other Ideas?
Thanks Ben |

Re: 8" Alumnium Siding
They still make it. Color will be hard to match with the existing due to fading.

Re: 8" Alumnium Siding
I will mail you some off of my house. Got a bunch that are 28'+ long. You will have to paint it but, you will probably have to do it anyway.
Last I priced aluminum siding it was like 200/sq.

Re: 8" Alumnium Siding
It definitely costs more. Probably about 3x the price I think. But if you only need a little, probably not a big deal. Weaving it into the existing can be a challenge though.

Re: 8" Alumnium Siding
Yeah, fixing aluminum siding sucks!!
Actually, installing it sucks as well.

Re: 8" Alumnium SidingQuote:
Would it be beneficial to replace all the siding at the time you side the addition with new vinyl? Could you side the addition in vinyl and the house a year or two down the road? |
