If you’re thinking about refreshing your home’s exterior, metal wall cladding could be just the upgrade you need. Not only does it offer a sleek, contemporary look, but it also outperforms traditional materials like wood or brick in durability and maintenance.

With various design options available, you can easily find a style that complements your home’s architecture. In this article, we’ll dive into some exciting metal cladding designs that might be the perfect fit for your home makeover.

Metal Panels

Metal panels offer a compelling choice for modern home exteriors. Their sleek aesthetics and exceptional durability make them a standout option. Beyond their visual appeal, these panels contribute to energy efficiency as well by reflecting heat and reducing cooling costs. Moreover, their longevity and low maintenance requirements translate into long-term savings and peace of mind.

At Metalink, we offer a wide range of metal wall cladding options to match your design preferences. From the contemporary Tektura to the natural charm of stone-coated finishes, our panels provide endless possibilities for stunning exteriors. Whether as accent walls or full cladding, they elevate any home’s aesthetic.

  • Metaline U– U-shaped profile for a sophisticated, curved look.
  • Metaline 100– Sleek panels with a minimalist, bold aesthetic.

  • Metaline 25 – Versatile mini rib cladding for interior and exterior use.

Composite Panels

Composite Panels

Metalink’s metal panels provide the same durability and modern look as composite panels, which feature an insulated core sandwiched between two metal or plastic facings. These panels offer both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits that boast a smooth, contemporary appearance. They deliver a clean and uniform look for exterior and interior applications. Composite panels are particularly well-suited for exterior walls, forming a weather-resistant skin that protects buildings from the elements while enhancing their overall appearance.

These panels can be incorporated into residential projects with metal wall cladding in various ways, such as creating feature walls or concealing exterior wall imperfections. They’re also perfect for garages, sheds, and other outbuildings, ensuring a cohesive and intentional design throughout the property.

Fiber Cement

Fiber cement boards, composed of cement and cellulose fibers, are known for their resistance to moisture, fire, and pests, making them ideal for various climates. When paired with metal, they achieve a sleek, modern look that enhances the overall design.

For example, fiber cement panels can be used as the primary cladding on the lower part of a wall, while metal panels add a stylish contrast on the upper half or as trim. This combination not only adds visual interest but also improves weather resistance and insulation, making it versatile for different climates.

If you’re after the cement look with the durability of metal, Metalink offers a range of finishes. Our Tektura Finish provides a cement-like appearance in five shades of gray:

  • Anthracite Dark Gray
  • Bromo Medium Gray
  • Efesso Light Gray
  • Piombo Basalt Gray
  • Silk Gray

Stone Veneer

Stone Veneer

Stone veneer wall cladding features a thin layer of real or engineered stone, offering a natural, textured look with the benefits of easy installation and durability.

You can mix various stone textures and colors with metal elements to create striking visual contrast. This combination works well in both interior and exterior settings, including accent walls, entryways, and building facades, enhancing aesthetic appeal while leveraging the durability and low maintenance of metal cladding.

For a natural stone look without the weight, try Metalink’s Stone-Coated finish. This finish applies stone granules to steel sheets, providing the visual appeal of stone with robust weather resistance.

Our stone-coated finish companies in long-span panels. Their color options include:

  • Pine green
  • Brick red
  • Charcoal gray
  • Graphite black
  • Coffee brown
  • Terracotta

Wood Cladding

Composite materials offer a fresh take on wood cladding, blending the warmth of wood with the durability of metal. Metalink’s LUXEWOOD finish in American Walnut captures the elegance of wood while sidestepping issues like rot, warping, or termite damage—perfect for humid climates where natural wood can falter.

For a striking look, play with vertical or horizontal patterns to highlight architectural features, or combine different finishes for a layered effect. For instance, use LUXEWOOD to create a welcoming front entrance, and pair it with metal cladding for the rest of the exterior to boost durability and ease of maintenance.
