What are the Main Characteristics of a Cladding System?




This world is moving towards technology with a rapid speed. With the passage of time the infrastructure and architecture is getting better and better. In early times there were mud houses and the building were not strong enough. But nowadays, in this immensely advancing world, the infrastructure has become improved and more advanced. Cladding system is a new technique for buildings in which different panels are applied to the exterior of building in order to make it strong and more secure, protecting them from wind, snow and provides structural framework. These panels are installed over other materials that are used in building construction. Alucore cladding is one of the types of cladding panels that are introduced on to the buildings.

Cladding system provides and maintains shape, frame and exterior of a building. So many architectural challenges can be resolved if cladding system is installed. At times there are some unpredictable weather changes which might damage the infrastructure, therefore, precautionary measures must be taken prior to any unfortunate incident. Alucore cladding is made up of 2 sheets of aluminium composite panel that gives support to the structure of buildings.   

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF CLADDING SYSTEM
  • COMPOSITION

        The composition of cladding system varies from type to type. Generally they are made up of metals (stainless steel, bronze, copper etc), rubber, silicone or brick. Types of cladding system consist of Metal Composite Panels, Rainscreen Cladding, Built up Cladding, Vinyl Cladding and so on. Metal Composite Panels are made up of aluminium and polyethylene. These panels are primary and are used for partitioning or exterior cladding. They are mainly used in offices. They are best thermal insulators and aesthetically they are very presentable as they are sleek and flat. Rainscreen Cladding is basically a three layered cladding. The outer most layer is visible and decorative and it is weather resistant. The middle layer prevents the entry of water in case of rainy weathers and the backing wall forms insulation from wind. Built up Cladding is made up of an inner metal line, middle layer consists of and insulation material and the outer layer is again made up of metal sheet. It provides an airtight barrier to the insulation material in order to protect the building from air, snow, water etc. Vinyl Cladding is made up of material called polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which is a resistor and provides rigidity and strength. 
  
     USES OF CLADDING SYSTEM 
  • Cladding system protects the exterior of a building and its frame from extreme weather conditions. 
  • It indirectly protects the interior of the building. 
  • Cladding system provides aesthetic beauty to a building such as Alucore Cladding which is composed of aluminium composite panels which are flat and comes in different colors, thus giving a pretty decent visual appearance to the infrastructure of building.
  • It also provides security and privacy to the buildings.
  • Cladding system provides thermal insulation which is a basic necessity nowadays.
  • Cladding provides a security against fire.

BEST CLADDING SHEET MANUFACTURERS AND SUPPLIERS IN SINGAPORE

Construction has improved over the course of time because technology has become advanced and upgraded. Cladding is a new technique which is adding on to the beauty of buildings and other sites. Cladding is a sort of skin or an extra layer on the outside of any building. Cladding sheets can be attached to the building’s outer framework or an in-between layer of battens or spacers. Cladding sheet is made up of wood, metal, brick, vinyl, composite materials that can include aluminium, wood, blends of cement and recycled polystyrene, wheat/rice straw fibers. Cladding is used mainly to keep wind and rain outside the building. Cladding sheets are usually made up of aluminium which is sound and heat resistant so it is also useful for sound and thermal insulation and fire resistant as well. It also increases the beauty and makes a building attractive.    Cladding is immensely important and beneficial because it is an excellent fire resistant.  Cladding Manufacturers Sing...

Things to consider while selecting cladding materials

The primary application of the cladding is to protect buildings from the adverse effects of the environment and weather. Basically, the cladding is the coating of one material over another or a layer attached to the exterior of the building to limit the infiltration of weather elements into the building structures. Another purpose of the cladding is to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the building by giving it a new outlook and life. When it comes to the longer run, another benefit of the cladding is that it significantly reduces the electricity cost by resolving the insulation and thermal issues. The secondary functionality of the cladding is to provide the fire resistance and cleaning of the polluted and dusty environments. Benefits of the Cladding: When it comes to the cladding it serves the far greater purposes rather than just maximizing the aesthetic appeal of the building. Although the most benefits of the cladding are linked to the long term. Here are some basic ...

Aluminium cladding that really works

Cladding is the technique of coating of layer on the structure of buildings. It is used where high structural rigidity and low weight are required This protective layer provides protection from corrosion. Cladding can be done from four different types of metal i.e. steel, aluminium, zinc and copper. From all of them aluminium cladding is one of the best type of cladding. ALUCOBOND’s ALUCORE clad provides cladding solutions from an aluminium composite panel providing firmness, permeability and flexibility which is demanded for the most design criteria. It consists of the following characteristics: Pre-coated Aluminium front skin Adhesive Aluminium Honeycomb core Adhesive Pre-coated Aluminium back skin and fixing extrusion KEY FEATURES: It provides customized solution with lamination technology and perfect industrial coating. ALUCORE clad has ready to install panels having variety of range which can be used according to requirement. The panels that A...
