Metal & Aluminum Cladding
Architectural Metal Cladding for Clean Exterior Lines
Steel and aluminum cladding can create vertical, horizontal or custom-profile facade lines across homes, commercial buildings and feature areas. ARKSTRUX coordinates profiles, supporting components, openings, corners and custom metal transitions.

Profile Options
Different Profiles Create Different Facade Rhythms
Vertical Formed Panels
Strong vertical lines suited to contemporary residential, commercial and agricultural-influenced architecture.
Horizontal Metal Siding
Horizontal courses provide a familiar siding direction with a sharper metal finish.
Ribbed and Corrugated Profiles
Repeating ribs create texture and can suit garages, workshops, commercial buildings and selected residential designs.
Concealed-Fastener Architectural Profiles
Interlocking or clip-attached profiles can reduce visible fastening and create a cleaner facade appearance.
Custom Metal Feature Areas
Formed metal may be used around entrances, parapets, columns, gables and other defined architectural conditions.
The Profile Must Connect to a Complete Wall Detail
Profile selection is only the first step. The project also requires a suitable attachment surface, water-management strategy, fasteners, allowance for material movement, base and opening flashings, corners, closures and transitions to other materials.
Typical Scope
- Review drawings, existing wall conditions and selected profiles
- Confirm removals and substrate preparation
- Install included membranes, insulation, furring or subframing
- Complete hidden base, opening and transition flashings before the cladding
- Lay out panel or board widths around corners and openings
- Install the selected metal or aluminum profiles using the specified attachment method
- Complete corners, closures, trims and custom transition pieces
- Review alignment, fastening, finishes and site cleanup
Applications
- Custom homes and additions
- Commercial and retail facades
- Garages, workshops and utility buildings
- Gables and accent volumes
- Mixed-material exteriors with masonry, fiber cement, ACM or wood-look cladding
How the Project Moves Forward

Share the Project Information
Send the property address, photos, drawings, measurements or a short description of the required work.
Project Review
We review the building, existing conditions, selected materials and the connections to adjacent systems.
Scope and Options
We confirm the proposed system, project-specific details, exclusions and any information still required.
Proposal and Scheduling
Once the scope is clear, we prepare the proposal and coordinate material lead times and scheduling.
Installation and Final Review
The work is completed according to the confirmed scope, followed by a final review and site cleanup.
Why ARKSTRUX
One Contractor for the Complete Exterior Scope
Multiple Exterior Systems
Roofing, cladding, rainwater components and custom metal details can be reviewed together where project conditions overlap.
Custom Details for Real Building Conditions
Corners, openings, roof-to-wall transitions, parapets, penetrations and perimeter details are coordinated for the specific project.
Residential, Commercial and Architectural Work
The scope can be adapted to homes, additions, commercial buildings, custom residences and design-led projects.
Supply and Installation Through One Contractor
Product selection, accessories, fabrication requirements and installation are coordinated within one proposal.
Cost Factors
What Affects the Cost?
- Steel versus aluminum
- Gauge or thickness, profile, finish and colour
- Concealed versus exposed fastening
- Panel lengths, layout and fabrication
- Subframing, insulation and membranes
- Corners, openings and custom transitions
- Access, height and staging
- Material lead times and special-order profiles
Metal and aluminum cladding is quoted after the profile, wall area and detail package are reviewed. HST is additional.
