Exterior cladding is basically a protective layer of materials like brick, stucco,
stone or wood that separates the interior and exterior structure of building.
It protects the building from external elements like sound, heat and damp. It
is the best measure to protect your property from all sorts of weather. Each
material used in cladding has its own important. For best outcome, exterior
cladding should be done with professional help. There are great ranges of
cladding available for your property.
The basic materials like brick, stucco and stone are used in
exterior cladding. Though bricks can be costly but they provide the best
resistance and add value to your property. Using stones for cladding is a good
option only if you want to highlight a specific area of your property. Stuccos
are most popular and add appearance to your property apart from great
resistance.
As already mentioned exterior cladding protects your
property from damage. Moisture is often considered as the most difficult to
resist from property. It can be avoided using siding or waterproof membranes.
Siding forms the most basic and durable form of protection. Temperature is other feature which can harm
the property. Exterior cladding protects a property from extreme temperature by
rigid insulation, building up layers etc. This creates thermal gap and avoids
seeping of uneven temperature.
In areas prone to hurricanes, typhoons and heavy thunderstorm, protection
from wind is required. Exterior cladding creates shield to protect from the
wind. The materials are fixed firmly to the structure to avoid any movement by
the wind. Cladding also protects a property from solar damage, as it is made up
of materials which can stand the harmful effects of the sun.
Many innovative cladding methods are adopted to provide protection
to structures. Insulators like aluminium, glass and wood systems are often used
to avoid hazards caused by electricity. Other system also allows air to flow
through the gap but restricts wind and sun.
