| 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 surface treatment is critical to the cladding’s longevity, providing essential protection against environmental factors. We offer two primary options:
Both treatments protect the pure aluminum plate from moisture, UV degradation, and pollutants, significantly extending the cladding’s service life.
Yes, our external decorative cladding is highly customizable to meet specific architectural requirements. The solid aluminum plates can undergo various fabrication processes prior to coating, including:
This manufacturing flexibility enables architects to realize bespoke facades and integrate our cladding into monomeric curtain walls or other complex exterior systems.
The primary advantages are its lightweight nature and efficient installation systems, which reduce labor time and project costs. Unlike heavy steel panels that require extensive structural support and on-site welding, our external decorative cladding is significantly lighter. This simplifies handling, transportation, and reduces the load on the building’s structure. Our systems are designed for modular, mechanical fixing, eliminating the need for welding and allowing for faster, more predictable assembly on-site.
The finish is engineered for long-term performance with minimal upkeep. The high-performance PVDF or powder coatings applied during manufacturing are formulated to resist fading, chalking, and degradation from pollution, salt spray, and UV exposure. For routine maintenance, periodic cleaning with mild detergent and water is typically all that is required to remove surface contaminants and preserve the original appearance. This ensures the building’s facade remains visually appealing for years without the need for repainting.
Our external decorative cladding is exceptionally versatile and is specified for a wide range of engineering applications. Its most common use is in monomeric curtain wall systems for commercial and residential buildings, where it provides a durable and aesthetic outer skin. It is also widely used for:
