Highly decorative wood-shingle siding on a house in Clatskanie, Oregon, U.S. Siding or wall cladding is the protective material attached to the exterior side of a wall of a house or other building. Along with the roof, it forms the first line of defense against the elements, most importantly sun, rain/snow, heat and cold, thus creating a stable ...
Vinyl siding is plastic exterior siding for houses and small apartment buildings, used for decoration and weatherproofing, imitating wood clapboard, batten board and batten or shakes, and used instead of other materials such as aluminum or fiber cement siding.
In 2014, by contrast, the US ranked sixth in primary aluminum production, and provided only 3.5% of world production. US production of primary aluminum peaked in 1980 at 4.64 million metric tons. Since then, US primary aluminum production has fallen by more than half, but secondary production has increased, making up much of the difference.
When used as siding boards, widths between 130mm and 300mm (5.25 inch to 12 inch) are available. [4] Fiber cement thicknesses vary between 4.5-18mm and also vary in density – the lower density resulting in a fibrous rough edge when cut and the higher density having a cleaner smoother edge when cut.

2014 aluminium alloy (aluminum) is an aluminium-based alloy often used in the aerospace industry. [1] It is easily machined in certain tempers, and among the strongest available aluminium alloys, as well as having high hardness. However, it is difficult to weld, as it is subject to cracking. [2]
