Choosing a new material for your RV, trailer, or food truck siding can be difficult. There are several options and they all have their pros and cons. So which should you choose? Well we’re here to help you make that decision easier by highlighting the benefits of aluminum.
Excellent Features in Aluminum
Your RV is a machine that needs so much to be able to run effectively. One vital part of your RV is the shell (siding and roofing). If you're building your own or are fixing your old RV up, you'll need a material that is durable and malleable. When it comes to siding and roofing materials, aluminum is a great option. Unlike fiberglass, it won't crack when damaged. Instead, if the aluminum does become damaged, it will dent. Because of this quality, it is easier to fix and might not even need replacing. And if it does need replacement, you only need to replace the affected area, not the whole sheet.
Aluminum siding is more durable than rubber and fiberglass, which decreases the maintenance cost over time. With this added in, aluminum becomes the cheaper option not only at the initial purchase but in the future as well. Aluminum is also rust-resistant and malleable. Because of this, it's easy to work with, especially for food trucks and RV trailers. No need to worry about the curves and corners of your rig, either. Easy to work with and built to last for the long haul, aluminum really is a terrific material for your home or business on wheels.
Not only is it durable and malleable, but its construction is lightweight. Because it's lightweight, it will help make your rig lighter, meaning you gain a better fuel efficiency when you use aluminum because of the lower weight and associated drag.
A Rainbow of Color Options
If you use any other kind of aluminum or even fiberglass, you might end up creating a look that looks just like the other RVs or food trucks. While there is always the option of decorating the rig later on, choosing a painted aluminum sheet is a great way of creating a unique look while updating your rig. If you're going for a simple color while still wanting it to be personalizable, we have those as well. You don't have to go for a bright color if you don't want to. One of the beautiful things about painted aluminum sheets is that you can bend them to whatever rig you're outfitting and it will keep looking great.
