Aluminum vs Fiberglass
Hi everyone - we are in the market for our first TT and are unsure of the real differences between aluminum and fiberglass siding (besides price). Can someone help us out? Thanks!

It's not fiberglass per 'se, it's Filon which is a vacuum bonded fiberglass hybrid. It's very difficult to repair if damaged, really the only repair is panel replacement. Filon can delaminate as well.
Aluminum on the other hand don't delaminate and can be repaired more easily plus it's lighter. Builder went to Filon for ease of assembly and cheaper cost. Myself, I'd take aluminum over Filon is I had a choice.
