Why Choose Metal Board and Batten Siding in Lafayette Indiana
Metal board and batten siding features wide panels with raised vertical strips that create distinct shadow lines and architectural interest. This classic design originated from traditional wood construction but gains enhanced durability through our 26-gauge steel construction.
Our panels resist warping, cracking, and fading while requiring minimal upkeep compared to vinyl or wood alternatives. The hidden fastener system creates clean lines without exposed screws.
The vertical orientation naturally sheds water and snow, making it ideal for Indiana's varied climate conditions.
We've served Lafayette and surrounding communities with quality metal building products for years. Our team understands the specific weather challenges and building requirements in this region.
We maintain a large local inventory for quick turnaround times and offer same-day pickup for many products. Our knowledgeable staff provides detailed technical guidance and project planning support.
Free quotes and custom cut lists help ensure accurate material ordering. We deliver throughout the Lafayette area with our own fleet of trucks.
Key Benefits for Homeowners and Contractors
Our 26-gauge steel siding stands up to Indiana's harshest weather conditions, from intense storms to extreme temperature swings. The premium metal construction resists impacts, dents, and scratches that commonly damage other siding materials.
The panels feature advanced protective coatings that prevent rust and corrosion. We back this durability with warranties that extend beyond typical 30-year mortgages.
Fire-resistant properties provide added safety and may qualify for insurance discounts. The rigid steel construction also deters pests and prevents moisture infiltration that leads to rot or mold.
The baked-on finish never needs painting or refinishing. Simple periodic cleaning with water keeps the siding looking fresh for decades.
The metal panels won't crack, warp, or deteriorate like wood alternatives. No caulking or sealing is required around the battens.
The color stays vibrant without fading or chalking. Snow and ice slide off easily, preventing buildup and reducing winter maintenance needs.
