Dimensional stability describes how little a material changes shape as conditions change. Aluminium is dimensionally stable: it does not absorb moisture and barely moves with temperature, so boards stay flat and joints stay tight.
Timber, by contrast, swells, shrinks, cups and splits as it takes up and loses moisture - the root cause of most timber-cladding failures.
