Want your project to ooze warmth and beauty of natural wood but have no desire to tinker with all that tricky maintenance the natural material requires? Here is a solution to bridge the gap between aesthetics and technical issues in cladding – Longboard Siding.
Manufactured by a Canada based brand, it offers its products across North America, including Vancouver. Made of extruded aluminum, they are somewhat different from other similar options since Longboard Aluminum Siding doesn’t look (or feel) like metal at all.
The cladding comes in the form of 24-foot long aluminum profiles with the thickness varying from 1.57 to 1.78 mm and widths of 4″ and 6″. It’s anodized for better protection against both corrosion and ultraviolet damage. It’s also covered with powder coating to ensure a more damage-resistant surface coupled with an amazing range of finishes.
The tongue and groove profiles are equipped with hidden fasteners to provide a fast and relatively easy installation with perfectly unnoticeable joints. Longboard siding is available in 2 designs: V-Groove and Channel, while j-channels, corners and other components are designed to flawlessly match the profiles for a classy, finished look.
