Aluminum is commonly used for flashing and for siding. Aluminum wiring for house wiring has fallen out of favor because of fire hazards resulting from improper installation and maintenance but it is still used for entrance cables. Aluminum can also be found in ducts, vents and window frames. Aluminum is used because it is corrosion resistant and relatively inexpensive.
