Metal Siding Will Revolutionize the Exteriors of Alaska Homes

Tough weather conditions in Alaska and throughout the Pacific Northwest mandate easy maintenance of home exteriors, and that's why Spenard Builders Supply and its metal roofing/siding supplier, Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation, have introduced BaySide Metal Siding to the Alaskan market.

Metal siding, long used in the construction of warehouses, barns, equipment storage sheds and other commercial buildings, easily meets the challenges of Alaskan and Pacific Northwest strong winds, snowstorms and heavy rain requirements without compromising value or beauty.

New tooling equipment installed in the MSM Kent, Washington manufacturing plant allows contractors and home builders in the Alaska market to choose from metal siding in many colors options, and the 16-inch standard widths are available in 29, 26, and 24 gauge. Custom lengths are available in lengths of up to 40-feet.

Some colors and gauges can be wood grain embossed with matching accessories. The siding also offers interlocking panels with excellent expansion and contraction and the look of wood siding with the durability of gauged steel in a triple, wide-lapped design. The extra smooth, galvanized siding includes a long-term warranty, that is designed to resist staining and abrasions.

BaySide Metal Siding also has Zincalume (for corrosion protection) and Metal Sales' patented coating system make BaySide the best choice for enduring the rigors of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Installing BaySide Metal Siding is easy with a pre-punched, hidden fastener design. Additionally, Metal Sales will custom cut the panels to eliminate the costly and time-consuming process of end lapping.
