vertical vs horizontal Siding

Are you in the process of deciding which type of siding to go for your metal building? One of the most crucial decisions you must make is whether to have your sheet metal siding run up and down vertically (the ridges in the sheet metal panels) or horizontally (the more affordable) option.

Vertical Siding is the standard in the metal building industry. It allows dust, debris, pollen, and dirt to be removed easier and less likely to stick to your building. Additionally, metal buildings with vertical side panel orientation are installed with purlins on the inside of the building which add additional rigidity, strength, and additional placements for hanging things.

Horizontal Siding is a more economical option and blends in well on properties with vinyl siding, where the vinyl is horizontally oriented as well.
