Combining Durability With Style

When it comes to exterior design, homeowners and business owners are constantly looking for ways to blend functionality with originality. One of the most visually striking ways to achieve this combination is using Forma Steel’s varying-width steel panels for siding.

Dynamic Visual Appeal

Uniform panels can create a clean look, but changing up the various panel widths adds depth and dimension. It can be a subtle difference, especially when the same colours and textures are used – see the picture above of Nitro Construction, which used Royal Blue ClipLoc on the sides of their roof during a recent renovation.

If different colours are combined, it can result in an eye-catching, contemporary appearance. At Beer Co. in Pincher Creek, they did this using an assortment of widths and shades of Forma Plank, as seen below.

Customizable Design Options

Varying-width panels open up endless design possibilities. We’ve had dealers and contractors use numerous profile options in varying-widths, such as Interloc, ClipLoc, Nail Strip, and Forma Plank. These hidden fastener or floating clip panel systems allow for on-site adaptability during installation, so whether you prefer a minimalist layout or a bold composition, the different widths will not be an additional complication.

Take a look below at the memorable exteriors of Banditos Inc. in Lethbridge Alberta. How do designs like these happen? Because our team at Forma Steel include creative designers with years of experience in collaboration, bringing your dreams and ambitions to life. Our estimators will work with you in achieving a look as simple as a retro barn to something complex and visually arresting like Banditos.

Add Long-Term Engagement To Your Project

Beyond an innovative curb appeal, steel siding offers outstanding longevity and sustainability. It resists warping, fading, and is more weather resistant than many traditional materials. Choosing varying-width panels simply enhances the value further by giving your building a timeless, distinctive identity that won’t go out of style.
