Why Choose Aluminum Over Real IPE Wood?
- Zero Maintenance: Unlike real wood, aluminum does not require sealing, staining, or repainting
- Weather-Resistant & Durable: Resists moisture, rot, and UV damage – ideal for all climates
- No Warping or Cracking: Wood expands and contracts with temperature changes, but aluminum stays stable
- Fire-Resistant & Pest-Free: Unlike wood, aluminum cladding does not attract termites or pose a fire risk
- Eco-Friendly Alternative: Aluminum is recyclable, reducing environmental impact compared to deforestation for real wood siding
