Building cladding is the exterior skin, or envelope of a
building, and includes all moisture barriers and siding
materials used to cover the outside of thestructure.
While the term cladding is widely used in Europe and
Australia, these exterior finish materials are typically
known as siding in NorthAmerica.
Cladding can serve both a decorative and a functional
purpose. It is used to complement the architectural
style of the building while also offering protectionfrom
rain, wind, snow, and other outside elements.
Building cladding can also add insulation to the
structure while minimizing sound transmission through
the walls.

Attached System

CurtainWall System

Infill System
Has exterior cladding attached
directly to structural frame in
large panels which span one or
more stories or bays.
Example: precast concrete or
steel-stud frames welded or
bolted to attachments built into
the structuralframe.
Primary advantage: ability to
fully insulate the exterior walls
and protect the structural frame
from deteriorating effects of
weather.
Similar to attached system
except it is attached to the
structural frame with clip
angles orsub-framing.
Examples: metal or glass
walls which enclose most
modern skyscrapers.Also,
natural stones and light
weight precastpanels.
Primary advantage:
standard design requiring
less time in pre-construction
and manufacturing.
Cladding material is installed between exterior floor slab edges
and the exposed exterior columns of the structural frame being
the identifying feature.
Example: pre-cast concrete, masonry, glass or combination of
these.
Primary advantage: installed from the interiors without relying on
external scaffolding.
Disadvantage:
1. Structural frame is difficult to insulate.
2. Differential movement between structural frame and cladding
resulting additional heat loss and heat gain to the interior
environment.
3. React to climate and change volume as they age.

Aluminium composite panels (ACP) &

nature, have high strength-to-weight ratioand
come in diverse colours andfinishes.

For safety reasons, brick
cladding is not
recommended in seismically
active areas, where bricks
could collapse during an
earthquake.
Brick cladding is designed to
shed and repel water so
that the water cannotreach
the internal framing of the
building. This reduces the
risk of damage to the
framing caused by mold and
mildew. It also keeps the
interior dry and pleasant.
 Timber cladding is done in dry areas and hilly areas.
Effective temperature insulator as it keeps the interiorcool.
Fitted by tongue and groove joints mostly.
Requires thorough maintenance.
Small tiles plastered onto the
wall surface for aesthetic
appeal.
Has no insulation property.
Available in variety of colours.
Plasterboard is generally used to clad internal walls. It is a pliable
material that can be easily cut with a craft knife. Plasterboard should
be cut a half-inch shorter than the wall and should be nailed onto the
wall framework. Jointing tape should be placed over the joints of
plasterboard to give a smooth finish.
Rain screen cladding includes an outer skin (of rear-ventilated) cladding
attached to an existing/new building. While the outer layer takes care of
the exterior weather elements, the inner layer provides thermal
insulation and carries the wind load, hence conservingenergy.
With the advent of green buildings, the trend of green walls have
come into place. It can be installed both in the interiors and the
exterior.
Application of aluminum or vinyl sheeting ,cut and
formed with a brake to fit over the exterior, wood trim
of a building is called window capping. The aluminum is
intended to make aging trim with peeling paint look
better, reduce future paint maintenance, andprovide
a weather-proof layer to control the infiltrationof
water.
Direct Adhered – This is one of the
most common methods. It is thinner,
less expensive and doesn't require any
onsite drilling
Spot Bonding – similar to the direct
adhered but epoxy is only applied to
about 10% of the area resulting in gaps
or pockets of air between the stone and
the wall reduces the chances of water
staining.
Mechanical Bonding - This method
involves fixed or embedded anchorsor
ties being used to attach the stone to
the surface
Aluminium/steel Backing – Aluminium panels are shaped to fit the
project perfectly, and to interlock with each other, before being
mounted to the surface using runner clips. (ext.cladding)
