Looking for a specific type of fabrication? No, problem! Our services now include;

• Metal Composite Material (MCM) – This system utilizes multiple metal materials such as; steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, copper, and zinc. It’s a great for its aesthetic appeal giving the panels apparency in their sleek designs and modern finishes. This material is also very practical because it has excellent resilience, it’s easily maintainable, provides great functionality and has longevity. 
• Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) – As opposed to an MCM panel that uses multiple metals an ACM uses aluminum only. SInce this system utilizes aluminum only it makes the panels a lot lighter giving them the ability to be more aerodynamic in their design application. You would use these panels to create custom designs with dramatic curves, sharp corners and angles, and unique figures or trapezoidal shapes.
• High Pressure Laminates (HPL) – A High Pressure Laminate system differs from an ACM and MCM system because of the high material density gives HPL systems a flat and monolithic appearance. It’s granular finishes lend it a metallic and even anodized look. All HPL system installations require a rainscreen for ventilation to prevent sealants, which can lead to interior gasket failures. They offer the best color consistency, endurance, ranking flatness and better panel module. 

Now that we offer metal panel fabrication, we can shorten project lead times significantly.

Here at Christian Siding we take care of all of these system’s services, designs, installations and more. By bringing metal panel fabrication in house we can now significantly shorten the lead time of our projects.

Why Does Wood Rot?

• Wood has pores, and throughout the year water, fungi, and other substances can get int
  o the pores if not properly covered.
• When water enters the pores of your wood, it causes the wood to expand.
• When the sun dries up the water from the wood, it will shrink slightly.
• Constant contraction of wood causes warping of the wood, and if fungi is present during this process it causes rot.

The easy solution many think for this problem is to paint over exposed wood to attempt to prevent rot. Homeowners hire handymen to do “touch-ups” which may require replacing small portions of rotten wood, covering rot with plaster smoothing it down then painting over it, or just simply painting over it.

The problem with these ‘solutions’ is that they solve symptoms not the problem. If one part of your wood window has began rotting, the rest of the wood in that window is probably rotting as well. And overtime rotten wood can force you to have to completely replace the window.

The Two Solutions

PVC Trim Wrap and James Hardie Fiber Cement are the two best solutions on the market.

PVC Trim Wrap

Pros:

• PVC Trim wrap is aesthetic and preserves the look of your home.
• It protects exposed wood from various weather conditions.
• It is durable.

Cons:

• Only comes in various colors not styles.
• Proper installation is difficult and requires an expert. This is because to properly install PVC trim wrap contractors must use screws and adhesive glue, then cover the screws after their work is done. This is not only timely but not very cheap (due to labor cost). Most contractors will install PVC trim with nails, which will allow contraction to occur.
• Due to the pores in PVC trim, it can expand and contract slightly, and without proper installation with screws it can contract more than slightly and cause cracks and exposures.
• PVC trim wrap will need to be painted over if not properly installed.

James Hardie Fiber Cement Trim Wrap

Pros:

• You can choose between various styles, including some that look like real wood!
• Comes with a 15 year color warranty from James Hardie, and a 30 year trim wrap warranty (also from Hardie)
• Does not expand or contract and is durable.
• Doesn’t need repainting until over 15 years later!
• Easy to install by professionals (lower labor cost).
