Aluminium Cladding

Cladding is a fabricated layer which partially or completely covers the exterior walls of a building. Cladding may be made from timber, stone, metal - such as aluminium, or plastic - such as uPVC, to change the appearance of a building, provide additional weather protection, and even increase the insulating properties of a building. 

Depending on the material used, cladding can be a cost effective way of changing or revitalising the face of a building - it maintains its integrity for longer than paint, and can provide a unique architectural design. 

There are several advantages to using cladding on the exterior of a building; firstly, it can be  cost-effective for large scale construction projects, particularly when using a cost-effective material such as aluminium. Cladding is durable, meaning its maintenance and maintenance costs are minimal. Cladding further protects a building from wear and tear, often caused by exposure to the elements, contributing to the cost effectiveness of cladding.

Cladding can increase the curb appeal and value of a property, providing a modern and fresh design. 

Finally, cladding is quick and easy to install, however will require specialist equipment such as scaffolding or elevated platforms, for larger buildings.

The types of cladding can be defined by the material used. For instance, metal cladding, plastic or uPVC cladding, brick cladding, stone cladding, and glass cladding, are all common types of cladding for large scale builds.
