Definition
• Cladding is the application of one material over another to provide a skin or
layer. In construction, cladding is used to provide a degree of thermal
insulation and weather resistance, and to improve the appearance of buildings.
History
• From as early as the late 15th century saw the introduction of wall cladding.
• Wooden Oak Cladding was much sought after for its insulation properties,
protecting the home owners from nasty draughts and cold.
• Bosieries Paneling (intricately carved wood cladding) was popular in the 17th
and 18th century French Interior Design and the Palace of Versailles has many
fine examples.
 Parts
Technically, the cladding system consists of
two main components:

1. Wall system
2. Cladding layers.
 Uses
• It adds a layer of protection to a building.
• It increases the mechanical strength of a building
• Buildings become resistant to cracks , water
absorption , sunlight and pollution.
• It offers protection from rain ,humidity and
strong winds.
• A low maintenance option.
• A better aesthetic choice.
• It has sustainability options.
• It can also control noise.
 Types
Cladding can be divided into three types, on the basis of the structural mechanism.

Curtain Walling

Curtain wall systems are a non-structural cladding

system for the external walls of buildings. They are
generally associated with large, multi-storey
buildings. Typically curtain wall systems comprise a
lightweight aluminium frame onto which glazed or
opaque infill panels can be fixed. These infill panels
are often described as 'glazing' whether or not they
are made of glass.
Sandwich Panels (ACP)

Sandwich panels (sometimes referred to

as composite panels or structural insulating
panels(SIP)) consist of two layers of a
rigid material bonded to either side of a
lightweight core, so that the
three components act as a composite.
Patent Glazing

The term ‘patent glazing’ refers to a non-

load bearing, two-edge support cladding
system. Patent glazing bars provide
continuous support along two edges
of glazing infill panels (rather than four-
edge curtain walling), and are fixed back to
the main structure of the building. This
system supports its own weight, and
provides resistance to wind and snow
loading, but does not contribute to the
stability of the primary structure of
the building.

RB Range LW Range CB Range

Rainscreen

A rainscreen (sometimes referred to as a
‘drained and ventilated’ or ‘pressure-
equalized ’ façade) is part of a double-wall
construction. The rainscreen itself simply
prevents significant amounts of water from
penetrating into the wall
construction. Thermal
insulation, airtightnessand structural stabilit
y are provided by the second, inner part of
the wall construction.
Timber Cladding

One of the most popular methods of cladding is

through the use of timber softwoods, such as
western red cedar. This type of wood is relatively
knot-free and has a natural resistance to decay
and moisture. It can be readily stained or painted
and altered to create a range of profiles.

Thermally modified timbers are also being used

such as Kebony, Keywood, Platowood and
ThermoWood. These softwoods are heated to
high temperatures which
removes moisture and resins, resulting in a stable
and durable material.
Metal Profile Cladding

Sheets are manufactured in a range of corrugated

and other profiles, such as trapezoidal, sinusoidal
or half-round. The profiles are manufactured
from sheets fed through banks of forming rollers.
Tensile Fabric Coverings

A fabric membrane is 'stretched' to form a three-

dimensional surface that may be used to create a roof,
shading, or decorative component. Sometimes
described as 'modern tents', fabric structures use very
little material compared to other forms of construction,
and are typically translucent, but they provide
little thermal mass or insulation and can have a shorter
lifespan than some materials.
Brick Slips

Brick slips are thin layers of masonry and are of

similar appearance to conventional bricks. They
are available in a variety of styles and colors.
Tile Hanging
The traditional method of cladding a property is
through the use of tiles. The addition of which can
add character to older properties.
Shakes and Shingle

Shakes and shingles are produced from split logs

and look similar to timber tiles. Shakes are
typically split from the log using a chisel and
mallet whilst shingles are sawn off.
uPVC

One of the cheaper forms

of cladding is uPVC with white being the
cheapest option. It can have fewer detailing
requirements than timber and requires
less maintenance, although it can discolor with
age.
Materials
The most commonly found materials used in cladding are:
1. Stone
2. Wood
3. PVC
4. Glass
5. Aluminium Composite Panel
6. Aluminium
7. Ceramic Tiles
Stone Cladding
• Creates a natural stone look 
• Perfect for both interior and exteriors, stone cladding uses thin layers of natural
or faux stone
• Lends a earthy and rustic look. 
• Stone cladding panels are extremely easy to install, virtually maintenance free
and gracefully ages with time.
Wooden Panelling
• Exterior cladding is individually placed and protects the structural integrity of
your house while also enhancing the exterior appearance by several notches.
•  Extremely durable 
•  Highly energy efficient owing to its insulation properties

Method of Installation
   WET SEALANT JOINT METHOD
This is one of the most common methods of
installing the ACP sheets. 
• The system has tray type panels and sealing
joints. 
• The ACP sheet, under this system is first fixed on
the sub-structure and then a suitable sealing
material is applied to the joints. 
• This ensures water tightness to the panels. The
Wet Sealant Joint method of installing the ACP
sheets is used in new buildings as well as for
renovation projects. 
INTERNAL WALL CLADING HANGING
METHOD
• In this method the ACM (Aluminum Composite
Material) is installed on interior gypsum board with
hanging method.
• Conceal the vertical joint with a joint cover of the
same material. 
• In renovation projects, “Stud Detector” will help
you to find out the position of studding concealed
behind gypsum board.
•  Stud Detector is a small tool working with an
electromagnetic sensor. 
• Not only solid and metallic colors but also Stone
and Timber-patterned panels are suitable for this
method. 
 Advantages
• It provides protection from the external weather
conditions like strong winds, rains etc.
• It increases the mechanical strength of a structure.
• It improves the resistance of the structure to
cracking during temperature change.
• It also reduces water absorption, increases
resistance to sunlight and protects the structure
from chemical pollution.
• It improves the aesthetic value of the structure.
• It requires less maintenance.
• It helps to reduce the energy costs. 
Disadvantages
• Cladding can be very expensive, depending
upon the material. Like concrete cladding
can results in high cost due to increased
amount of labor requirement.
• Depending upon the size of the structure and
the material used, the installation of siding
can take a long time.
• It may create problem during repair works
like in metal claddings which can be easily
dented.
• If the cladding is not installed properly, the
underlying structure can get damaged.
