Cladding systems (like aluminum panels) generally offer lower initial costs compared to brick due to lighter material weight, reduced labor expenses, and faster installation. While brick has a moderate material cost, its labor-intensive masonry work and longer timelines often increase project budgets.
However, long-term value depends on quality. Xtra Metal Group’s aluminum cladding solutions prioritize lifecycle cost efficiency through corrosion resistance, minimal maintenance, and durability exceeding 30+ years. Our engineered systems also enable customization for thermal performance or aesthetic integration with brickwork, balancing upfront savings with architectural intent.
