Wall Cladding

Wall cladding has been an important part of construction for hundreds of years. However it is only in the last hundred years that wall cladding has become a fashionable option for both commercial and residential applications. In recent years this has become one of the preferred construction methods because of its various benefits. The primary reason to buy Wall Cladding from us is that we manufacture all wall cladding products to British standards. As a result almost all of our products will pass the Government’s stringent Building Regulations. So whether you are buying added timber wall or other products, you can be sure they will not fall short of Building

Wall Cladding uses thermal insulation between two panes of glass. Wall Cladding consists of either insulated timber or one panel with a timber cover. Most buildings will have some combination of these two Wall Cladding products. Thermal insulation makes the wall cladding less inviting for intruders and more energy efficient.

It is possible to get treated wooden Wall Cladding or treated air gap cladding. Although treated wood is not quite as durable as air gap, it will still usually be lighter weight and easier to install, and the thermal insulation will still work. Many people choose to use treated wall cladding in areas where building regulations would make the use of air gap illegal, such as near a boiler or hot water pipes.

Wood treatments generally provide two benefits: they stop rot, mildew, and insects; and they provide an extra barrier against weather elements such as rain and snow. Some treatments are even useful in preventing termites from infesting the wood surface of the wall. However care must be taken to ensure that treatment is completely dry before installing any walls or timber furniture. Using a professional contractor will help avoid further damage to the Wall Cladding nd the wall itself.

All wall cladding systems are subject to the same insulation considerations as traditional building structures. The type of insulation most commonly used is either a mineral wool insulation or packed foam. Mineral wool is good at controlling temperature and controlling external noise, but it is a poor insulator against the cold or hot weather conditions found in most domestic environments. Foam packed insulation works well, but it does not work well in certain situations, such as very cold and very hot weather conditions. Insulation also needs to be combined with drying agents which help to keep the wall cladding dry.

When choosing an exterior wall cladding system, there are several factors to consider. First and most importantly are your neighbours’ proximity to the structure. Certain materials used to build exterior wall cladding panels can enhance the structural integrity of the home. The use of metal in this application is especially desirable, as the metal allows the panels to be anchored securely to the concrete foundation. Additionally, the use of aluminum reduces the maintenance required on the exterior wall cladding panels themselves. Finally, the material used to make the exterior paneling should be able to withstand outside moisture, wind, sun, heat, and extreme temperatures.
