Summary
A craftsman who installs metal siding panels on building exteriors, finishing the exterior while maintaining insulation, waterproofing, and aesthetic properties.
Description
A metal siding installer is a specialist who installs metal siding panels on building exteriors. Based on design drawings, they perform marking and measurements, cut and process panels, and fix them to furring strips or base materials. Afterward, they apply sealant to ensure waterproofing and finish the appearance. High-altitude work on scaffolding, handling various tools, material management, and safety measures are also important tasks. They collaborate with other trades (carpenters, plasterers, painters, etc.) to complete the work.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to increasing needs for energy-efficient and weather-resistant exterior materials, as well as renovation demands for existing homes. Skilled workers will be sought after due to the shortage of experienced craftsmen.
