safeguard the backing structure and offer a decorative external building
appearance. Cladding is a durable material which can last for nearly 50
years, relying on the kind of cladding you choose & how it’s being

are the most common types of cladding out there. At TCS we know most of
the cladding systems offered on the market as we used them at London
and South East projects.
Weatherboard
cladding: This perhaps comes to mind first when cladding is mentioned.
This type of cladding is made of timber, fibre cement, and reconstituted
hardwood. Fibre cement and timber weatherboards require periodic upkeep
to maintain their best shape whereas vinyl weatherboards demand no
maintenance.
Metal
cladding: Metal cladding is either aluminum or steel cladding. The
metal is protected through powder coating or galvanizing. There’re also a
variety of color options available to fit any color scheme. Metal
cladding also gives you the flexibility to create a wide range of looks
such as sleek flat panels or rigged shapes. Furthermore, metal cladding
is pretty low in cost.
Timber
cladding: This type of cladding is also much appreciated as nothing can
replace the elegant look of genuine timber and timber fits well in all
styles of buildings. You can have timber cladding in horizontal or
vertical boards, panels or shingles. Since sustainable timber is used
timber cladding is environment-friendly and acts as a great natural
insulator.
Vinyl
cladding: If maintenance provision is an issue for you, then vinyl
cladding is what you should be looking for. This type of cladding
practically requires no maintenance and suits all sort of buildings and
it comes in a wide range of color options. It’s also economical and
labour cost is quite low due to an easy installation.
