In addition to protection, the region’s grey skies and greenery make curb appeal important. Longboard’s modern profiles maintain their finish for years without painting or staining, keeping your home looking sharp year-round.

Prevent Moisture Damage
Peeling or cracked siding isn’t just a cosmetic issue. It allows rain to seep behind your exterior, causing rot and structural damage. Longboard siding stops this problem with a specially designed aluminum system that sheds water before it can harm your home.
Each plank fits tightly together, forming a strong barrier against wind-driven rain. With Longboard siding in Vancouver, you get a low-maintenance exterior that won’t warp, crack, or need repainting. This keeps your walls dry and strong for many years.
In Vancouver, constant rain and coastal moisture can damage regular siding materials. The exteriors here face a tough fight against water intrusion, making a strong, water-shedding solution necessary.
Many local homes have wood-framed walls that trap moisture behind standard siding. Longboard’s ventilated rainscreen design allows walls to breathe and dry, stopping hidden rot and mold that can grow in this wet climate.
Longboard Siding Installation
Longboard siding is made from aluminum with a powder coat that resists corrosion and fading in Vancouver’s coastal air. The planks have a ventilated rainscreen design with a drainage channel that keeps the wall dry. This choice of material avoids the swelling, cracking, and repainting that often happens with wood or fiber cement in Vancouver’s wet climate.
Installation starts with vertical furring strips attached over the building paper to create a drainage gap. The aluminum planks clip onto these strips using a hidden fastener system. This system allows for thermal expansion without causing buckling. Installers often use pressure-treated furring to resist decay, ensuring the bottom of the cavity remains open for weep holes to let any water drain out quickly.
The rainscreen principle uses a pressure-equalized space behind the cladding. Wind-driven rain hits the siding, but the vented cavity equalizes air pressure and stops water from being pulled through the joints. Any moisture that gets past the siding is caught by the drainage plane and directed down to the weeps.
For Vancouver’s wind conditions, the spacing of the clips and the type of fasteners are chosen to resist suction forces during storms. The aluminum panels provide a strong shield, while the ventilated gap helps dry the sheathing and framing quickly. This separation keeps the wood-framed walls in Vancouver homes from staying wet, which prevents rot.
Vancouver Siding Regulations
The City of Vancouver Building By-law sets fire-performance and construction standards for exterior cladding like Longboard siding. Homes with combustible cladding must meet specific requirements, including rain-screen design and fire-testing. By-law No. 10908 explains when combustible cladding is allowed, based on building height, sprinkler systems, and flame-spread ratings.
The Noise Control By-law No. 6555 limits construction noise on residential properties. For siding installation, work is allowed on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. No work is allowed on Sundays or holidays unless a special permit is obtained.
Imagine a local school in Vancouver with old siding that was allowing moisture to enter the walls. This was putting the building’s structure at risk. We teamed up with their staff to fix this problem by installing Longboard siding on multiple wings. We worked around their daily schedules and made sure the site was secure each day. Now, the campus is protected from Vancouver’s rain, and they no longer have to worry about hidden water damage affecting their school year.
Local Support for Longboard Siding
Longboard siding in Vancouver is an important part of what we do. We can get to your home quickly using Water Street, Hastings Street, or Highway 1, passing through Gastown. The drive usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes. We also support local businesses by buying materials from stores like Dunbar Lumber and Coast Building Supplies Ltd. This helps strengthen the community we serve.
We install Longboard aluminum siding to protect your home from Vancouver’s rain. The ventilated rainscreen design has hidden fasteners that help water run off and allow walls to dry. This prevents rot and mold in our wet coastal climate. We use furring strips and a drainage gap for installation, and the powder-coated planks won’t warp, crack, or need repainting. Vancouver’s building bylaw requires a rainscreen design and fire-testing for combustible materials. Noise rules limit work to weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Costs range from about CAD 14,500 for a standard profile to CAD 60,000 for a premium smooth flush board finish. We can usually reach your home within 20 to 30 minutes.
