Installing Aluminum Skin & Windows

After getting all the wood sheeting installed we moved onto installing aluminum on the outside.

I used aluminum trim coil stock. This comes in various sizes and colors. For this project we used 24" wide white aluminum.

Using a brake I put a 1" return on the vertical sides in opposite directions. Then when I install it, I interlock each piece to the next one so that water can not get thru to the inside.

We started at the back and worked our way forward.

One piece at a time...

Trust me, it's tedious 😎



As we got to each window or door opening, I would cut the opening out of the wood sheeting and then scribe the aluminum and cut it out, then install the window or door as we got past it in siding.





And we just kept going one piece at a time...
