One
of the most successful methods of protecting and insulating home or
office building from natural elements is a cladding installation. Apart
from that it also provides homes an enhanced visual appearance and most
importantly needs less or no maintenance. Cladding is available in a
wide range of material alternatives that will suit any home. Most of
these materials can be applied externally as well as internally. Few of
the cladding options include stone cladding, timber cladding, and steel
cladding.
Stone cladding
Stones
(i.e. marble and granite are mostly used) are luxurious and elegant,
hence, when used for cladding the elegance is passed on to the home or
office building as well. However, stone cladding is a costly affair!
Typically, stone claddings cover the areas which are frequently exposed
to the nature such as garages. Marble cladding is often seen in
bathrooms as it is quite inexpensive than the granite. And businesses
use stone claddings in their reception areas and lobbies to greet their
customers.
Timber Cladding
Timber
cladding just like the stone cladding can be installed to the
interiors. As timber is a living resource it provides unique and natural
beauty characteristics. However, pre-treatment of the cladding ends of
timber panel against moisture is necessary failing which may lead to
lifting and warping of panels. Pine, Cedar, Larch and Spruce are most
common and popular timber claddings available! Cedar and larch cladding
are natural moisture resistant whereas as the other two options need
pre-treatment.
Steel Cladding
The
steel cladding is strong and long lasting and has complete insulation
on the panel back. It provides a shiny appearance and needs low
maintenance. Also, it provides ample heat insulation that makes
buildings energy efficient.
Most
important part in installing a cladding is choosing the right cladding
installer otherwise you won’t be able to get desired protection and
insulation.
