I like it! I have been a fan of aluminum siding because the aluminum doesn’t really degrade. It’s only the paint on the aluminum that degrades over time which you can then repaint but it doesn’t look that bad as the paint fades all the same over time as a whole. But, this product looks great and durable. The big plus for me is how fire resistant aluminum siding is as is their product. I am definitely going to consider this on my home remodels!
I’m building a DIY 48 foot tall passive ICF home and it will be virtually zero maintenance on the outside. My siding will be a combination of cork and shou sugi ban/yakisugi. And the roof will be a standing seam metal roof.
That horizontal siding joint looks DIY. Longer siding sheets if available, or maybe run the siding to the bottom and run the gable siding lower. Long Live The BUILD Show !!!!!
Remember the HIGHER the Gauge Number the THINNER the metal. This is counter intuitive for most of us. Therefore, a 24 gauge metal is THICKER than a 28 gauge. eg... 24 gauge = 0.0239 inches = 0.607 millimeters ; 26 gauge = 0.0179 inches = 0.454 millimeters ; 28 gauge = 0.0149 inches = 0.378 millimeters. Thus the 24 gauge would be ~ 60% THICKER than the 28 gauge.
UK builds are almost all exterior maintenance free. Brick and block walls, concrete roof tiles or slate ,UPVC double glazed windows and UPVC fascia and soffit. The constant dampness/humidity and rain would destroy most US homes.
The Seattle area has a similar temperate climate. There are 120+ yo houses all over the region. The fake siding wood products that started hitting the market in the 70's haven't done well.
Class 4 is rating is 2" steel ball dropped from 20 feet and not losing the ability to protect against water intrusion. There are also class 4 shingles avialable. The advantage of a shingle is that if one is compromised, it can be easily replaced.
I love the idea of metal siding and roof, especially when it comes with 30+ year warranty and doesn't cost much more than other popular finishes. I prefer standing seam on the roof over this slate look, but either way, implementing a low maint strategy will be paramount when I build my house in a few years.
@@ToddBizCoach Guess what again? Duh! Of course it cost more, but it lasts 3x longer than any asphalt roof. Why do you think the people who choose a metal roof are willing to pay that price premium? Your comment is yet another example of someone not thinking the issue all the way thru, focusing only on upfront cost as opposed to lifetime cost.
@@dlg5485You need to sharpen your math skills. It’s the financially illiterate that buy metal roofs in the residential sector.There is a reason 90% of roofs in US are asphalt vs metal. It’s called the time value of money. The cost savings of a new asphalt roof vs metal is at least $7500 on a 25 sq house. The growth of $7500 @ 9% for 50 years is 64x in 48 yrs. , $480,000!
Maybe not zero but low which in my book means a soft soapy exterior cleaning every few years with say a telescoping filtered washer and not a high pressure sprayer. Because despite the longevity of the materials their surfaces are not self-cleaning and will require some periodic mild scrubbing to stop some organic matter from adding discoloration and film.
In the deep south,there is no painted surface that will stand up to uv. Copper,tile,ss are the only materials that can hold a consistent patina for a long term.
My bias is brick is best zero maintenance facade. My parents have brick rental homes that are 100 years old and brick looks great and no flaking or mortar issues….
I do like Edco roofing products and used them for a few years now. I started using Edco because pictures of there metal roof valleys. They kept screws out of the valley in their pics. Where as other companies didn't. Pics of valley done right sold me. If your a roofing company and put crap pics of your products it screams crap products.
I'm not sure why I always get sucked in with the promise of a "cost" discussion, but I do every time. I get that different volume builders get different pricing, but is it so hard to give a ballpark?
I have seen some new houses in the North East in Massachusetts use this metal siding, as well as the roofing being metal. I am not in construction, but driving by them, I have always wondered how well the dampening used for the roof eliminates the sound of rain hitting it. I would assume it is loud in the upstairs, but I don't know enough. If I am to construct a house in the north east though, I would prefer this construction style as it seems like it is more long lasting.
That's a bold claim - will be very interesting to compare this with a 90 year old Victorian brick house when it's the same age. There has been nothing beyond some paint applied to most of the houses in London since they were built. Houses should be designed to last for at least a centrury without anything other than cosmetic touch ups!
Hey Matt. I have a question about if you have ever had a wind test done on houses using the envelope method with the zip sheathing envelope and using a cantilever style eaves with roof over the top of that for high wind resistance such as in coastal or tornado prone areas? From research I have discovered once the structure of the roof goes so does the house. Thoughts or do you have a video that demonstrates or addresses this as a concern? Thanks John
Unfortunately, nerdiness trumped cost comparisons with other siding and roofing options, an did not make it into the video until around minute 17 of a 22 minute video! Are Matt Risinger’s videos now largely for manufacturers of the latest and greatest housing products, and well-healed home owners, or are they for the rest of us; people whose choices are cost sensitive?
Title is so misleading, zero maintenance exterior is very different from zero maintenance house. Would have still clicked/watched, but bummed it's not talking about the title subject. After finishing the video, even more disappointed that it was just a siding promo/commercial.
I've worked in construction and am now in property maintenance. Eye-opening to understand building and installation practices when things actually get old and break and it's time to fix them as opposed to just installing something from a cost or design perspective. I hope to have not just an efficient home but one that makes changing things and accessing things that much easier.
I have a question if I may. It was suggested that the brick (painting) may be the largest maintenance chore through the years. Given that in the future there will probably be finished landscape and/or hardscape that must be protected and not destroyed during the repaint, In retrospect, would you consider a brick that is inherently black (baked into the material)?? It seems that the first paint job would cancel any additional cost, if any, and after that you're saving gravy. Thanx
I can hear the 'snap, crackle and pop' of that metal as it heats up in the morning and cools in the evening. As a professional painter the 'lifetime warranty' is a joke. It is not a no-cost replacement warranty and it does not apply to the word they never want to use - fading. Acceptable fading for most high end exterior paints and coatings is 1-2% per year. Even the cheapest paints today won't crack and peel but they will fade. Think about that - 10% fading within 10 years and they think you won't have any maintenance for decades? Kynar and other high tech finishes on metal work such as gutters and fascia simply do not stand up to the brutal sun of the south. Finally, when Matt states we wouldn't know that is not a real slate roof? Are you kidding? They are too perfect NOT to recognize from any angle and just about any distance that they are manufactured. I like the idea of metal, but the warranties they extoll are not reasonable.
Pumicecrete is by far the best building material on the planet and if you use metal cladding on the outside you will have a house that will last a very long time Pumicecrete is a mixture of pumice cement and water mixed and poured into a set of reusable forms walls are poured from 12"to 24" thick pumicecrete is fireproof termite proof rust rot and mold proof non toxic and has a high R value and good sound attenuation solid poured walls means no critters can live in your walls Pumicecrete can be built for a fraction of the cost and time and pumice is one of the few building materials that can go directly from the mine to the job site ready to use without any additional possessing and zero waste Take care Ray
I have steel siding and I’m looking to repaint it after 25 plus years. Anyone have recommendations on paint brands and techniques? It currently red looking to go blue.
I very much appreciate the mission of 0-maintenance!!! But I bet your colleague Brent would agree about the aesthetics of the building......no window trim, week battens, shiny siding, and I bet the deck will be PVC. [the roof works because it is far enough away from the viewer]. True, if the goal is for street-distant approval, then fine, but from 3 feet away it all looks un-organic, thus fake. HOWEVER: In a fire-prone area near forests, then aesthetics drops WAY down in priorities......thus, in a WUI area (Wildland Urban Interface) these specifications are HUGELY important.
That's great, except it's probably still for rich people. I don't hate rich people, I'd like to be one some day, but I can't right now. But it's kind of annoying to hear people go "well it's going to last you so..." and "premium product" -- When you don't have the money, you don't have it. Instead give a general estimation of what it will actually cost. I don't have a problem watching rich people do rich things, just as long as you don't try to tell me it's "well worth it", etc...
So, I’m thinking in the middle of the summer with the sun bearing down on the metal roof and the siding it would have a tendency to heat the house up. What R value would you need to combat that? Would you be able to even touch the siding in the middle of summer without getting burned?
What a beautifully done ruclips.net/user/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!
What kind of wood frame? I have a Spanish Colonial styled home that is in need of a remodel. But yeah, brick, stucco, and tile are no maintenance. Haven't touched the stucco. Needed to replace some clay tiles because they were on the cheaper large grain side.
Now that's a roof. I don't understand why people go above and beyond on foundation, framing and plumbing/electrical/HVAC etc, and then..............they slap a shingle roof, it's a disgrace.
While the product looks great, and the maintenance factor is awesome, the whole black on black on black on black Pintrest architect color "choice" is extremely worn out. It was bad when it conceived and it's still objectively terrible.
I’d say 75% are yeah. He is effectively a new product reviewer giving his analysis on them. I like the building science videos but this one was a straight up promo/add. Just look at that oil canning on the walls, yet they never mention it at all. You can see that from space.
This metal looks just as bad and cheap as vinyl. It's not a timeless look when you try to fake the look of a material with another material. If you want it to look like wood, then just use wood. Turn off your TV once every five years and paint your house. If more people put pride and effort into maintaining their house they'd probably realize that most houses are too big. A smaller house is the easiest to maintain.
As usual, using thin ass material to save money and embossing it to make up for it. I wouldn't put anything I ess than 24 ga on my house for anything including trim.

This cheap metal siding looks terrible. You need properly installed mechanical lock standing seam to give you an actual no maintenance siding. I specialize in traditional style standing seam roofing and siding and it always makes me upset seeing products like this. They are just false promises!
Zero maintenance house is called a condo…where someone else does the maintenance!😂
Having left a townhouse complex a few years ago he just heard from our former neighbors that homeowners monthly dues were over $400/month, honestly that's a monthly maintenance bill...
Just love that oil canning.

I'd just hire the build show team to design and build me a house.
Thank you very much for demonstrating to us how things are constructed underneath the walls and roof!! So helpful
We put this on 5 1/2 years ago. It looks great. I don't think anyone realizes it's not wood. The price wasn't bad either.
I like it! I have been a fan of aluminum siding because the aluminum doesn’t really degrade. It’s only the paint on the aluminum that degrades over time which you can then repaint but it doesn’t look that bad as the paint fades all the same over time as a whole.

Less than 2 min into video, “ZERO maintenance house” to “zero maintenance EXTERIOR house” to “ALMOST zero maintenance exterior house”

@@nikleiser5888 Looks like he has a few videos on his channel about his build.

Great video!
Matt please please please, do a video on high end wood siding products. i.e., different types of woods species and wood maintenance!
Great suggestion!
Seems pretty confident with steel roof and sidings considering he's next to water.
Maybe not zero but low which in my book means a soft soapy exterior cleaning every few years with say a telescoping filtered washer and not a high pressure sprayer. Because despite the longevity of the materials their surfaces are not self-cleaning and will require some periodic mild scrubbing to stop some organic matter from adding discoloration and film.
First view of the opening conversation set with a nice oil can backdrop…😂. Steel siding is tough to make look nice.
This would be great for houses in wildfire country.
If you clad a pumicecrete house in steel you will have a house that is bomb proof, maintenance free and will last forever
Take care Ray
