Is one  of the major problems with alum siding that it painfully tries to
imitate  something else?


That and the fact that it's flimsy because it's so thin and that it  conceals
deterioration of the material below it.

On the other hand, the big aluminum panels used in high rise and large  scale
construction don;t lok so cheesy, so I think you're on to something.   Is St
Francis College going to put aluminum siding up in Bklyn?
