Metal Siding Installation
In Dunbar-Southlands, metal siding panels, usually made of steel or aluminum, are installed over furring strips. This setup creates an air gap that is important for drying. Fasteners must be made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. They should be carefully driven through the panel’s nailing flange to avoid dimpling. Dimpling can trap moisture and speed up finish damage in this wet climate.
Panel styles like vertical board-and-batten or horizontal lap are chosen for their ability to shed rain effectively. Joints are placed away from the direction of prevailing winds. Trim at corners and windows is sealed with flexible sealant to prevent water from getting behind the siding during temperature changes.
In older homes in Dunbar, installers often find uneven wall surfaces. They use shims on the furring to create a flat surface. This ensures that metal panels lie flat and fasteners engage properly, which helps avoid stress that could cause oil-canning or loosening over time.
Metal siding is a strong water-shedding surface, but in Dunbar-Southlands, the real protection is behind it. A ventilated rainscreen assembly is made by the space created by the furring strips. This allows any moisture that gets past the siding to drain out at the bottom and dry through airflow, which helps prevent rot in the wall sheathing.
The building wrap under the furring acts as a drainage plane. It is installed in a shingle fashion to direct any water downwards. At window and door openings, metal flashings work with this wrap to guide water onto the siding’s surface. This detail is crucial in a region where wind-driven rain is common.
Since metal siding does not let water through, the cavity also helps balance air pressure. This reduces the force that pushes rain into the wall. This method keeps the structural framing of Dunbar homes dry even during long periods of wet weather, which helps extend the life of the entire exterior.
Metal Siding Bylaws in Vancouver
In Dunbar-Southlands, metal siding must meet the cladding requirements in the Vancouver Building By-law 2019 – Division B, Section 9.27 Cladding. This includes using locked-seam type joints for sheet metal siding and following Canadian standards for galvanized steel and aluminum-zinc coated steel siding, soffits, and fascia. Paragon Exteriors designs and installs metal siding to ensure it has the right thickness, fire performance, and durability for exterior walls.
If your Dunbar home has a side wall very close to a property line (less than 0.6 m), the Vancouver Building By-law 2019 – Fire Protection (Division B, Section 9.10) requires that wall to have a 45-minute fire-resistance rating and noncombustible metal cladding. Paragon Exteriors will make sure the metal siding and wall assembly meet these fire safety rules for tight side yards.
For some buildings that need noncombustible exterior construction in Vancouver, the Vancouver Building By-law – Exterior Combustible vs Noncombustible Cladding (By-law No. 10908) allows combustible cladding only if certain conditions are met. These include providing sprinkler protection, fire-retardant treatments, and limiting flame-spread ratings. While Paragon Exteriors’ metal siding is usually noncombustible, these rules apply when replacing existing combustible siding or using mixed cladding systems. We will verify that any non-metal parts of the exterior wall assembly meet the by-law’s fire and materials criteria.
We recently updated a multi-building school campus in Dunbar-Southlands with standing-seam metal siding. Their old exterior trapped moisture, which caused cold drafts in their classrooms during winter. We worked on each building one at a time, after hours and on weekends, so their classes could continue without interruption. We worked closely with site managers to keep walkways safe and the campus functional. Now, their buildings stay dry and comfortable all year, reducing the need for constant siding repairs.
