If you’re in the process of planning and constructing your home, you are likely being presented with a lot of different options. While you may enjoy the charm of brick, or the coziness of wood, you may be interested in knowing that metal panels can provide the charm and coziness of both, while bringing benefits to the table that the other materials lack. Why else should you consider metal panels for your home?
Strength and Protection
Metal panels provide enhanced protection for your home. They can withstand weather that other materials buckle under, such as hurricane force winds, hail, and even fire. Metal panels also provide unmatched mechanical stability. With little fluctuation as a result of varying temperatures, the ability to reflect sunlight, and the ability to keep out pollution that can make its way through other porous building materials.
Metal Panels Are Lightweight
Metal cladding panels are among the lightest cladding alternatives, especially when combined with lightweight aluminum honeycomb cores. This reduces the dead weight on the building and makes them simple to move and install.
Environmentally Friendly
From production through completion, metal panels are one of the most eco-friendly home materials out there! They are created from recycled materials, and can be recycled again at the end of their shelf life. Reducing the carbon footprint of production and the amount of materials that end up in landfills.
Lower Energy Costs
If installed correctly, metal paels can help you consume energy efficiently. That’s because it comes with proper insulation and can reflect the sun’s heat away from the home. As such, it helps your indoor temperature to stay cool during summer. The insulation also reduces air infiltration. Hence, the warmth stays indoors during winter. This means that overworking your HVAC is a problem of the past.
Endless Aesthetic Options
While many of the reasons for choosing metal panels for your home are practical, there are many aesthetic advantages to consider as well. Metal panels can come in all sorts of designs – whether replicating the look of wood, creating patterned or textured accent walls, or offering a sleek and elegant facade. Metal panels create an attractive home, boosting curb appeal and home value should you decide to sell in the future.
