Feb 18, 2025, Abbotsford, British Columbia – Longboard Architectural Products (Longboard), manufacturer of extruded architectural aluminum building products, has introduced new profiles designed specifically for single and multi-family residential construction.
With over two decades of expertise in aluminum cladding, Longboard has built a strong reputation in commercial, mixed-use, healthcare, and educational building construction. Success in these industries has fueled ongoing innovation, leading to a diverse product lineup that includes soffits, screens & enclosures, cladding attachments, ceilings, and partitions.
Building on this foundation, Longboard is expanding into residential applications with two new profiles: Lap Siding & Board & Batten. These profiles reflect Longboard’s dedication to producing beautiful, durable, and sustainable products that are easy to install. While offering the timeless charm homeowners love, they also deliver the modern advantages of extruded architectural aluminum.
Built for Longevity and Performance
Engineered for long-lasting durability, both profiles feature a 1.5mm thickness and are crafted from premium 6063-T5 aluminum, offering exceptional resistance to denting, warping, and fading. Each new profile also comes with a 15-year limited warranty, giving general contractors and homeowners peace of mind regarding product performance and finish retention.

The initial launch includes four carefully selected standard colours:
● Old Navy – A deep, rich blue
● Shale – A solid, dark gray
● Onyx Black – A bold black with a textured finish
● Bone White – A crisp, contemporary white
Additionally, Longboard offers custom RAL colour finishes through its in-house manufacturing process, providing nearly limitless options and guaranteeing quality for designers and clients. By utilizing standardized color codes, the company streamlines the procurement process, eliminating communication issues and preventing material inconsistencies.

Every finish is applied at Longboard’s state-of-the-art 350,000 sq. ft. facility, eliminating the need for on-site caulking or painting. This allows for year-round installation, regardless of weather conditions. For contractors and installers, this means lower labor costs and faster project timelines.
Both new profiles are designed for easy installation and integrate seamlessly with Longboard’s standard T&G trim and fastening components, allowing previous clients to work with familiar installation techniques while introducing new products into their projects.
