yOne 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.
