Which exterior cladding should I choose for my house facade transformation?

Many materials for facade cladding are available on the market, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Here is an overview of the most popular exterior claddings for home façade transformation:

Material	Description	Advantages	Disadvantages
Engineered wood (CanExel)	Wood fibre is an almost perfect imitation of wood. Engineered wood is often known as its manufacturers, such as CanExel or Maibec. Very similar to wood with its grooves engraved on the surface of the material. Life expectancy of 30 years or more.	Resistant to climatic and weather variations High availability of colours Easy to maintain (compared to wood) Durable	Can be difficult to install Higher cost than vinyl
Steel (MAC)	Galvanized steel siding Looks a lot like wood, just like CanExel. Durable, resistant and easy to install.	Very durable Low maintenance requirements	More expensive than similar sidings Heavy
Vinyl (PVC)	Available in a wide range of colours and textures Colour is an integral part of the material Life span of more than 40 years	Very affordable Shock and scratch resistant Resistant to pests and mildew	Not very resistant to temperature variations and bad weather Dark colours fade over time Made of non-renewable resources Low fire resistance
Aluminium	Superior weather resistance Finish that remains intact over the years Life span of more than 25 years	Resistance to climatic variations and bad weather Durable Wide variety of colours and patterns	Low impact resistance May be noisy (rain or strong winds)
Masonry (bricks/stones)	Brings a lot of elegance and value to your home Includes clay bricks, natural stones, reconstituted stones and concrete stones Soundproof Lifespan of more than 75 years (repointing required after 20-25 years)	Resistance to climatic variations and bad weather Very durable Good acoustic performance	Seal maintenance More expensive Requires a structure that can support the weight
Natural wood	Mostly chosen for cottages or in northern Quebec Not permitted in all municipalities Includes torrefied wood and chemically treated wood Life span from 25 to 55 years Rough-surfaced wood shingles require a coat of stain every 15 years	Low pollution during production Warm appearance	Low resistance to weathering, pests and mildew Requires a lot of maintenance Can turn grey over time
Acrylic	Appeared in Quebec in the 1960s Composed of expanded polystyrene insulation, reinforcing mesh, and adhesive, and covered with a synthetic-based plaster finish Good solution for covering a concrete wall Lifespan of 25 years	Waterproofing Wide choice of colours and finishes	Tough installation Vulnerable to wood framing movements, can crack Vulnerable to temperature variations
Suretouch Cladding / Siding	Made of bricks and stones embedded in a polystyrene mold Coating primarily designed for interior use.	Appearance imitating stone and brick Shallower and heavier than masonry	Product designed for indoor use Risk of causing molding
Fibrocement	Product made of cellulose fibres and Portland cement, some of which may contain fly ash or other compounds Very durable.
