Beauty and Strength

And when you consider the punishing weather and other hazards your home must endure, you’ll see why this premium steel siding is an excellent choice.
Product Features
High-Performance Galvalume AZ-50 Steel
Universal is built tough from the inside out. The Galvalume AZ-50 steel core features a specially formulated 55% aluminum-zinc alloy coating that protects the steel from the elements and provides superior corrosion resistance compared to conventional galvanized steel.
Rigid steel panels resist buckling and the wavy appearance that can result from expansion and contraction caused by extreme weather changes. Universal steel siding also will subtly conceal flaws in the exterior’s substructure, keeping wall lines exceptionally smooth and straight.
High Dimensional Stability
Rigid steel panels deliver high dimensional stability and resist buckling and the wavy appearance that can result from expansion and contraction caused by extreme weather changes. Universal steel siding also will subtly conceal flaws in the exterior’s substructure, keeping wall lines exceptionally smooth and straight.
Added Dimension
Universal’s generously proportioned 1/2″ butt height adds greater dimension and style with dramatic shadow lines.
Smooth Finished Look
While fiber cement and compressed particle boards typically require caulked joints, Univeresal’s “seams” are crisp and clean.
Easy Upkeep
When it comes to maintaining your Universal siding, you can relax. There’s no need for time-consuming scraping and painting or struggling with ladders. Just a simple rinse with a garden hose will remove most airborne dust and dirt. In most cases, your siding will clean up quickly and easily.
A Lifetime of Protection
Universal steel siding is backed by a lifetime limited, non-prorated, transferable warranty with 50 year hail and 35 year chalk and color change protection.
Your Home With a Style All Its Own
The high-style warmth of each panel is further enhanced with natural-looking wood textures and colors that mimic nature. Matching and complementing trim and accessories complete the design, inspiring a perfectly pulled-together finished look that truly stands apart.
