| Cladding Material | Material Cost (per sq ft) | Total Installed Cost (per sq ft) | Lifespan | Weather Resistance | Installation Difficulty |
| Aluminum Cladding (XtraMetal) | $8 – $25 | $15 – $40 | 40 – 50+ Years | Excellent. Will not rust or corrode. Highly resistant to moisture, UV rays, and temperature changes. PVDF coating ensures color retention for 20+ years. Not ideal for high-impact zones (can dent). | Low to Medium. Lightweight panels and systemized installation (like Click-System) significantly reduce labor time and complexity. Does not require specialized heavy machinery. |
| Wood Cladding | $5 – $15 | $10 – $30 | 15 – 30 Years (with high maintenance) | Poor to Medium. Susceptible to rot, pests (termites), and moisture damage. Requires regular sealing, staining, or painting to maintain appearance and durability. Poor fire resistance unless specially treated. | Medium. Requires skilled carpentry for precise cutting and fitting. Material weight is moderate. Proper sealing and finishing are critical and time-consuming. |
| Vinyl Siding (PVC) | $2 – $7 | $4 – $12 | 20 – 40 Years | Medium. Waterproof, but can become brittle and crack in extreme cold or from physical impact. Colors can fade over time due to UV exposure. Can warp in high heat. | Low. Very lightweight and easy to cut and install. A popular choice for DIY projects. However, achieving a professional, seamless look can be challenging. |
| Fiber Cement | $4 – $12 | $8 – $20 | 50+ Years | Very Good. Highly resistant to rot, pests, fire, and moisture. Holds paint well. Can be prone to chipping or cracking upon sharp impact. | High. Very heavy and brittle. Requires special cutting tools (diamond blades) and careful handling. Installation is labor-intensive and typically requires a larger crew. |
| Brick Veneer | $6 – $15 | $20 – $50+ | 100+ Years | Excellent. Impervious to rot, pests, and fire. Provides excellent thermal mass and sound insulation. Mortar joints may require re-pointing after several decades. | Very High. Labor-intensive and requires highly skilled masons for proper installation, including foundations, wall ties, and mortar work. Slowest installation process. |
| Steel Cladding | $6 – $16 | $12 – $30 | 40 – 70 Years | Good to Very Good. Very strong and impact-resistant. However, if the protective coating is scratched, it is susceptible to rust. Heavier than aluminum. | Medium to High. Heavier than aluminum, requiring more robust framing and handling. Installation is similar to aluminum but requires more effort due to weight. |

XtraMetal has been in building product manufacturing for 32 years and we have encountered all kinds of problems, here are the most important concerns of our customers before closing the deal.
The realistic wood grain finish on our aluminium cladding is created through a state-of-the-art sublimation process. First, the aluminum plate is powder-coated with a base color. Then, a film printed with a high-resolution wood grain pattern is applied and the panel is heated. This causes the inks to turn into a gas and permeate the powder-coated base, creating a finish that is bonded with the metal itself. This method ensures exceptional durability, providing high resistance to UV radiation, humidity, and abrasion, preventing issues like fading, peeling, or chipping that can affect simpler painted surfaces.
Yes, our aluminium wood look cladding is highly versatile and can be processed to meet custom architectural specifications. The solid aluminum plates can be precision-cut into special shapes, grooved for sharp, clean bends, and perforated with various patterns for decorative effect or enhanced airflow. This flexibility allows architects and designers to specify complex curves for facades, create unique geometric patterns, or integrate perforated elements without compromising the integrity of the wood grain finish, making it suitable for creative and demanding project requirements.
Our aluminium wood look cladding offers excellent resistance to fading and weathering. The combination of a high-quality powder-coated base and the sublimation process results in a finish with superior UV stability. It is engineered to withstand harsh sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture without significant color loss or degradation. This makes it a far more durable and colorfast option compared to real wood, which can fade, discolor, and degrade when exposed to the elements without constant maintenance.
While the initial material cost for aluminium wood look cladding can be higher than some common softwoods, it is often more cost-effective over the life of the project. The savings come from installation and maintenance. The lightweight nature and efficient installation systems reduce labor costs. Furthermore, there are no ongoing expenses for staining, sealing, or replacing rotted sections, which are significant costs associated with timber. When considering the total lifecycle cost, our aluminum solution presents a superior long-term investment.
