Aluminum Siding & Cladding
About Aluminum Siding & Cladding
Aluminum cladding systems represent the premium tier of the metal exterior category - combining corrosion-proof performance, fire resistance, and architectural versatility that vinyl and wood products cannot match. Pro Materials supplies Kaycan's three distinct aluminum cladding systems: the LYNX® Premium Extruded Aluminum Siding Collection (0.071" extruded aluminum with PMMA wood-look surface and 25-year/50-year warranty), the Urbanix™ Aluminum Cladding Collection (0.027" high-tensile aluminum in a modern 6" smooth profile with 7-13 colours), and the Alu-Composite S-100 Building Envelope System (StacBond® FR aluminum composite panels with PVDF KYNAR 500 coating and 20-year finish warranty). Three products, three price points, and three distinct architectural characters - from contemporary residential re-cladding to commercial facade systems. Wholesale supply to contractors and architects across Canada.

Aluminum Siding & Cladding Buying Guide
Key factors to evaluate when specifying aluminum siding & cladding for your project.
Kaycan Aluminum Cladding: Three Systems, Three Applications
LYNX® Premium Extruded Aluminum
is the flagship residential aluminum siding: a 0.071" extruded aluminum panel with a PMMA (acrylic) wood-look surface that replicates natural timber grain and tone. Three-layer construction (PMMA surface, aluminum core, PVC support) provides exceptional rigidity, impact resistance, and surface quality. 25-year finish warranty and 50-year product warranty (with registration). Non-combustible. Available in 7 colours. The premium choice for residential projects where wood appearance with non-combustible performance is specified.
Kaycan Urbanix™
is a modern smooth-profile aluminum cladding for contemporary and commercial-influenced residential projects. 0.027" high-tensile aluminum in a clean 6" profile, manufactured in Canada. Corrosion-proof, dimensionally stable, and designed for concealed installation systems that deliver a clean, seamless appearance. 10 colour options.
Alu-Composite S-100
(StacBond® FR panels distributed by Kaycan) is an architectural composite panel system: two 0.50mm aluminum face sheets bonded to a fire-retardant thermoplastic core at 4mm total thickness, with PVDF KYNAR 500 70/30 factory finish. 20-year finish warranty. Used for commercial facades, building envelope systems, and premium residential applications where flat-panel architectural cladding is specified. Available in 10 colours.
Choosing between them:
LYNX® for premium residential with a wood-look. Urbanix™ for modern smooth-profile residential or light commercial. Alu-Composite S-100 for flat-panel architectural commercial facades and fire-rated applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between LYNX® and Urbanix™ aluminum cladding?
LYNX® is a 0.071" extruded aluminum panel with a PMMA wood-look surface - the premium product in terms of gauge, material depth, and surface realism, designed for projects where aluminum cladding needs to read as wood. Urbanix™ is a smooth 0.027" high-tensile aluminum profile for clean contemporary aesthetics, manufactured in Canada, and suited to modern and transitional projects where smooth metal appearance is desired. LYNX® has a higher material cost and a longer warranty (50-year product warranty); Urbanix™ is more cost-competitive.
What is PVDF KYNAR 500 coating and why does it matter?
PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), sold under the trade name Kynar 500, is the gold standard for factory-applied exterior metal coatings. The KYNAR 500 70/30 formulation used on the Alu-Composite S-100 panels provides exceptional UV resistance, colour retention, and chalk resistance, typically backed by 20-year finish warranties. PVDF coatings significantly outperform standard polyester-based coatings in long-term colour retention, particularly on commercial facades with prolonged sun exposure.
Is aluminum cladding fire rated?
Aluminum itself is non-combustible. The LYNX® extruded aluminum panels are non-combustible - a key specification advantage over vinyl on projects requiring fire-resistance compliance. The Alu-Composite S-100 uses a fire-retardant (FR) thermoplastic core, which is Class A fire rated for exterior applications. Always confirm the specific fire resistance classification with the manufacturer's test reports when specifying for projects with fire code requirements.
Can aluminum cladding be used in coastal salt-air environments?
Yes. Aluminum cladding is inherently corrosion-resistant in salt-air coastal environments. Unlike steel, it does not rust and does not require special coatings for salt-air exposure. This makes it a preferred choice for lakefront, coastal Ontario, and maritime projects.
