Luckily, there’s the alternative of using metal siding that looks like wood, T8 PlankWall There are four types of metal panels that are made to mimic wood: T-8 Plankwall®, Longboard Siding, Alumaboard, and Fabral Knotwood. Metal Panel Specifications T-8 Plankwall® T-8 Plankwall® is made from galvalume metal in a 24-gauge. The concealed fastener panels are 1 inch high, 8 inches wide and 1 foot to 45 feet long. They consist of formed metal sheets with vertical panel edges, with flush joints or reveal between panels. The reveal measures 7.75” face with .25 reveal.

Longboard Siding Longboard® Siding is made from 1/8″ thick aluminum and has concealed fasteners. The length of each panel is 24 feet long with 3 profile sizes (4″ Groove, 6″ Groove, and 6″ Channel). The design is created with AAMA 2604 certified powder coatings. Fabral Knotwood™ Fabral Knotwood™ is made from aluminum panels that are 18 feet, 6 inches in length. The wood grain pattern on the panels is created using ink and a polyurethane or polyester powder coating.

Galvalume Wood-Grain Panels There are certain conditions when you have to be careful about which panel you use. While both Longboard® and Fabral Knotwood™ are made of aluminum, T-8 Plankwall® is made from galvalume. Properties near the ocean, especially those that are within one mile from the ocean, are surrounded by a high amount of salt particles in the atmosphere. The galvalume tends to not hold up as well as aluminum does when exposed to salt spray. Any area with excessive moisture can also be problematic for galvalume. To prevent any issues resulting from geographic elements, properties that are waterfront, or close to water, should not use T-8 Plankwall®. Applications: What Can I Use Walnut Wood Metal Panels For?
