Special requirements for the installation of aluminum and steel metal siding ( metallosayding ) is not, as These materials do not react
so much on the air temperature fluctuations, as the vinyl siding. But at the same time they do not have such flexibility as plastic. For example, if an aluminum panel siding bend, it will not be able to restore its original shape, and it will have to change.
