Exposed fastener aluminum siding is designed so that the fasteners will pierce through the face of the siding panels and attach directly onto the structure. The fastener head will be visible and will not be concealed by the seam of the aluminum siding.
Concealed fastener siding panels are attached to the substructure without any visible fasteners. Instead, concealed fastener siding is installed with clips and/or screws that are attached behind the face of the siding panel. Once installed, concealed fasteners are not visible on the exterior wall or aluminum siding. They are hidden inside interlocking panel joints for protection from the elements, creating a smooth appearance that is more aesthetically pleasing than exposed fastener siding panels.
Exposed fastener siding panels are the most affordable type of aluminum siding, the easiest to install, and are readily available. The main disadvantage is that the screw heads are exposed and it’s less weather-tight versus a concealed fastener siding.

Aluminum is more expensive than metal. Aluminum siding should be used in coastal environments.
Aluminum siding is more corrosion resistant than metal siding. It should be used for jobs that are near the coast line.
Aluminum does rust, but it rusts differently versus steel and iron rust. When aluminum is exposed to oxygen, it forms aluminum oxide, just like steel forms iron oxide, but the difference lies in the chemical makeup of these two oxides.
Iron oxide or rust is a soft red colored metal that begins to expand and flake off as it is chemically transformed. This process exposes more of the underlying steel to the air and the process continues until the metal is completely transformed to iron oxide.
Aluminum oxide has a different process. It’s actually quite hard and serves as a protective coating around the underlying aluminum. It doesn’t flake off like iron oxide. Once the outer layer of aluminum “rusts” the process stops and the aluminum is protected.
