Cladding refers to a non-load-bearing layer attached to the exterior of a building to shield it from environmental elements. It serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, enhancing insulation, weatherproofing, and visual appeal.

Cladding provide protection against weather elements, improved aesthetics, increased durability, reduced maintenance, and sometimes can improve a building’s energy efficiency.

Consider factors such as climate, desired appearance, maintenance requirements, budget, and the specific location and purpose of the building. Each material has its own advantages and suitability for different environments.

While some cladding materials may be suitable for DIY installation, it’s often recommended to hire professionals for proper installation. This ensures correct attachment, weatherproofing, and adherence to safety standards.

Maintenance varies depending on the material. Generally, regular cleaning with mild detergent and water, checking for damage or loose panels, and following manufacturer recommendations for maintenance should suffice. AlgoClear can be used for cleaning.

Yes, cladding can be installed both vertically and horizontally, offering flexibility in design and aesthetic preferences. Vertical installation is often used for contemporary or modern designs, while horizontal installation is more traditional.
