Steel siding is a popular option among those looking for a hard-wearing, thermally efficient material sure to last for years. For the same reasons it’s so often used on commercial structures, this style of siding is quickly gaining ground among homeowners, as well. Here are a few reasons why.

What Are Some Advantages of Steel Siding?

1. Eco-Friendliness

Today’s homeowners are increasingly conscious of the need to minimize their impact on the environment through the use of environmentally friendly materials and structural features. Steel siding is an excellent, sustainable choice because it can be made from recycled or reclaimed steel and because worn-out steel can be recycled almost infinitely. As a result, it can be put to use multiple times without increasing demand on steel production and mining.

2. Resistance to Cold

Steel alone isn’t known for its thermal efficiency. Steel siding, however, can be easily insulated using the latest materials to increase energy efficiency at home. In addition, because it can be easily customized to fit structures of all sizes and shapes, you can adjust the thickness and configuration of insulating layers without compromising their protective qualities. This can be particularly helpful during the winter, when heating bills can become unaffordably high due to the need to keep rooms warm for months at a time.

3. Durability

Steel siding can last for up to 50 years or more, making it one of the longest-lived siding materials available. Completely resistant to wildlife, pests, rot, and warping, it can also be protected against corrosion and the elements with periodic inspections and rust-proofing. Although it can cost slightly more than alternative materials, this higher initial investment can more than pay for itself in the long term due to steel’s strength and longevity.
