What is more expensive steel or aluminum siding?

Table of Contents

Aluminum siding typically costs 20-40% more than steel in initial material expenses due to higher raw material prices and specialized manufacturing processes. However, aluminum offers superior corrosion resistance, lower maintenance requirements, and a longer lifespan (50+ years vs. steel’s 30-45 years with proper coating).

At Xtra Metal Group, our precision-engineered aluminum systems integrate advanced powder-coating technologies and custom alloy formulations, balancing durability with aesthetic flexibility. While steel remains a budget-friendly option for galvanized applications, our clients often prioritize aluminum’s lifecycle value and design versatility in premium architectural projects – a strength we deliver through vertically controlled production and 30+ years of global engineering expertise.

As an aluminum ceiling & facade manufacturing engineer, I spent years immersed in design and production for things like exterior walls and ceilings. Seeing the gap between technical specs and practical understanding sparked my desire to share my knowledge clearly and make engineering materials accessible to more people.
