Steel Siding — Made & Sold in Indiana

Indiana Metal is one of the only metal siding suppliers in the state that fabricates, coats, and sells directly from Indiana. That means shorter lead times, more control over quality, and no middleman markup. Whether you're a homeowner doing a DIY install or a contractor running multiple jobs, we stock panels in Bainbridge and Indianapolis for fast pickup or delivery.

Steel Siding vs. Vinyl & Wood

Vinyl warps in heat, cracks in cold, and fades over time. Wood rots, attracts pests, and demands constant repainting. Steel siding from Indiana Metal does none of those things. With a Sherwin-Williams WeatherXL® finish and a 40-year paint warranty, our panels are built to outlast every alternative — at a price point that's still competitive with quality vinyl.

Metal Siding for Post-Frame Builders

Our MP36 profile doesn't require a solid substrate — it installs directly on steel or wood girts, which is a major cost and labor savings on post-frame jobs. Panels are cut to length at our facility, so you're not making field cuts or generating excess scrap. Indiana contractors have been trusting our panels on post-frame builds for years for exactly this reason. Note that MPBatten and MPFlush Front are recommended over a solid substrate — our team can help you spec the right profile for your project.

Residential Steel Siding in Indiana

The days of metal siding being "just for barns" are long gone. Homeowners across Indiana are choosing steel siding for its curb appeal, lifetime value, and zero-maintenance profile. Our wood grain steel line has become particularly popular on modern farmhouses and barndominiums — the texture and warmth of wood, none of the upkeep. Available in our MPBatten and MP36 profiles in several natural wood-tone finishes.

Common Questions

What gauge steel should I use for siding? +
29 gauge is the most common choice for agricultural and light residential applications — it's cost-effective and still plenty durable. 26 gauge is the upgrade, offering better dent resistance and is the standard spec for most of our siding profiles. We recommend 26 gauge for any residential project or anywhere hail is a real concern.
Does metal siding need to be installed over a solid surface? +
It depends on the profile. MP36 can be installed directly on open framing or girts — no sheathing required, which is a significant cost and labor savings on post-frame builds. MPBatten and MPFlush Front are recommended to be installed over a solid substrate. If you're unsure what your project needs, our team can walk you through it before you order.
Can metal siding be installed horizontally? +
Yes — the MP36 profile can be installed either horizontally or vertically depending on your design preference and structural layout. MPBatten and MPFlush are vertical installations. Either way, our team can walk you through the right fastener patterns and trim details for a clean, watertight result.
How long does metal siding last? +
Steel siding can last 40–70+ years when properly installed. Our panels carry a 40-year paint warranty on stock colors through the Sherwin-Williams WeatherXL® system, which covers chalking and fading. The steel substrate itself typically outlasts the warranty significantly — especially in Midwest climates.
Do you offer metal siding for residential homes (not just barns)? +
Absolutely — and it's actually one of the fastest-growing segments of our business. Our wood grain steel siding is especially popular on modern farmhouses, barndominiums, and residential re-siding projects. Steel is no longer an "agricultural only" material — homeowners love it for the zero-maintenance lifestyle and long-term curb appeal.
Can I pick up metal siding in Indianapolis? +
Yes. Our Indianapolis location at 6352 Airway Dr carries stock panels, trims, and accessories for will-call pickup. For custom cut-to-length orders, call us at 317-907-7777 or place a quote request online and we'll confirm availability and lead time.
What colors are available for steel siding? +
We stock 30+ colors through the Sherwin-Williams paint system, including popular options like Burnished Slate, Gallery Blue, Charcoal, Galvalume, and White. All stock colors carry the 40-year WeatherXL® warranty. Custom Sherwin-Williams color matches are also available — contact us for details.
