In the construction work system, the cladding is
known to be the application of joining two
materials in a way that it forms skins or layers
to increase the appearance of the buildings.
It is very helpful in keeping the building free
of any adverse weather effects and also provide
natural heating and cooling effects in winters
and summers respectively.
We will discuss the complete guide to the
cladding. Let us proceed further

The most common types of cladding materials used
today are of wood, metal, vinyl, brick, etc.
There are some composite materials too which
are used by the cladding contractors for
preparing the claddings, like aluminium, recycled
polystyrene, rice or wheat straw fibre, cement
blends and other such stuff.
The resistance power of the claddings depends
majorly on the type of materials used in them.
The genuine advantages of cladding are of course
their ability to protect the building from the
adverse effect of the climatic conditions and
also providing the inside dwellers with a
comfortable stay.

This cladding system is purposed for the ones who
have a limited budget of the cladding. It
requires a low cost to install this cladding and
has a combination of cement, compressed sand and
cellular fibre.

for those who lack time for the maintenance of
the sheets. Vinyl claddings hardly require any
maintenance

Weatherboard Claddings
This is the type of traditional cladding that
comes in all our mind when we mention cladding.
It is mostly favoured because it is a favourite
amongst the commercial wall cladding system.
Stone Claddings
For residential purposes, the stone cladding is a
perfect traditional choice. high point of this
cladding system is that it is very expensive and
if you have a restricted budget then it is
unlikely that you can afford it.
Timber Claddings
Popular because of the traditional frames of
timber, these claddings find a place for
residential utility purposes.
