Dave my house has aluminum siding and my atomic clocks work just fine.
There are some areas in North America where the signal may not be strong
enough. Anothing thing you might try is to wind a coil around the clock in
behind and run an open lead so that there is coupling to the clock antenna
and more capture area. It should not take much. Note you're not connecting
the coil to the antenna but allowing the coil to be in proximity to it.

Subject: [Elecraft] Atomic Clocks and Aluminum Siding
Atomic Clocks are great additions to the shack. But how, pray tell, does
one get them to work inside a house with aluminum siding when you can't
put it next to a window? I believe WWVB is on 80KHz, which is pretty low.
Can one couple them to an antenna?
thanks,
dave belsley, w1euy
