Rot-proof and fire-rated. Metal does not absorb moisture, will not rot, and most profiles carry a Class A fire rating — useful for homes near Western Washington wildfire-risk zones.
30+ year finish. Modern Kynar 500 PVDF paint systems are warrantied 30 to 40 years against chalking and fade — far longer than painted wood or fiber cement.
Clean modern aesthetic. Standing seam vertical panels and flat-lock cladding give a sharp, contemporary look that pairs with stone, cedar accents, and large windows.
Low maintenance. No repainting, no caulking re-do every five years. Wash with water; that is most of the maintenance plan.
