Metal Cladding Since 1943 Metal Cladding has

been providing advanced coating


applications to a wide
variety of industries such as
aerospace, medical, industrial,
military, food processing,
automotive, electronics, plastics,
composites, HVAC coil coating,
compression moulding,
heat transfer, sublimation &
decorative.

Some history……..
Metal Cladding There are many types of cladding
available, each of which has its
own distinct benefits and
drawbacks. To name a few,
there's wood cladding, concrete
cladding, stone cladding, and
others. Cladding, as a generality,
is used for both protection and
aesthetic purposes, with some
having more of one trait than the
other. For example, wood
cladding is often desirable for
certain types of homes, but is
more prone to rotting or mould
than other types of cladding, such
as concrete.

Type of cladding……..
Metal Cladding Metal cladding is a type
of exterior cladding made of
metal. While composed of a
different material, it performs the
same function that nearly all
other types of cladding do, which
is to protect the exterior or
interior of a building. Outside of
structural protection, cladding
can also be used to improve the
look of a building. Metal cladding
can be very useful for both
purposes, as metal in general is
typically very strong and durable,
and its wide variety of types and
finishes provide for aesthetic
versatility. Unlike most other
types of cladding, however, metal
cladding can also be used for
roofing.
Use of cladding……..
Metal Cladding Aluminium is one of the most
popular options for cladding
purposes. This is primarily
because aluminium, unlike
copper or steel, cannot rust or
corrode, making it highly
desirable for homes, buildings or
other structures located close to
an ocean. Aluminium is also very
lightweight, making it usable for
both side and roof cladding. Also,
like most other metals, it can be
painted nearly any colour. The
only downside is that aluminium
is not as strong as steel and may
not provide the same level of
protection in harsher
environments.

Aluminum cladding……..
Metal Cladding Steel is often desired for its high
strength, but is typically only
used for industrial applications.
Most grades of steel are prone to
rust and typically require regular
maintenance. There are some
grades of steel, however, that are
rust-resistant. One of these is
galvanized steel, which is
incredibly popular for both
cladding and other applications
where long-lasting strength is
required. Other grades, such as
stainless steel, are very similar in
this regard, but are often far more
expensive and typically aren't
employed for cladding purposes.

Steel cladding……..
Metal Cladding Copper is another type of metal
cladding which is usually used
only for roofs or other finishing
work. While it may provide
adequate protection, it is often
chosen for its aesthetic appeal
alone. Copper starts out as a
bright, shiny orange, but
eventually corrodes into a light
green. This colour is highly
desirable for many buildings and
is often chosen solely for that
purpose. From a functional
standpoint, however, copper and
other metals are chosen for
sloped roofing applications
because they allow for snow to
slide off easily, unlike tile or
shingles.
