No. The practice of coating specially-manufactured steel products to keep them free of rust is extremely well-established. Steel siding has come a long way in the last twenty years alone. TruCedar coats with G60 zinc. It forms a tough layer that prevents moisture and oxygen from getting to the steel, then bonds to make the material even stronger. If for some reason the coating is scratched off, well that’s a problem. Good thing galvanized steel siding and coatings are designed to take a beating.
Also, consider that with ‘seamless’ siding systems there aren’t any of the normal seams or cracks in other siding systems. Midland’s expert installation ensures your home will be more weather-proofed and look great!
