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.
