 Metal cladding is a type of exterior cladding made of metal.

While composed of a

different material, it performs the same function that nearly all other types of

cladding do, which is to protect the exterior or interior of a building. Outside of

structural protection, cladding can also be used to improve the look of a building.
 Since 1943 Metal Cladding has been providing advanced coating applications to a

wide variety of industries such as aerospace, medical, industrial, military, food

processing, automotive, electronics, plastics, composites, HVAC coil coating,
compression molding, heat transfer, sublimation & decorative.

 There are many types of cladding available, each of which has its own distinct

benefits and drawbacks. To name a few, there’s wood cladding, concrete cladding,
stone cladding, and others. Cladding, as a generality, is used for both protection
and aesthetic purposes, with some having more of one trait than the other. For
example, wood cladding is often desirable for certain types of homes, but is more
prone to rotting or mold than other types of cladding, such as concrete.

Aluminum
Copper
Steel
 One of the most popular options for cladding purposes. This is primarily because

aluminum, unlike copper or steel, cannot rust or corrode, making it highly desirable for

homes, buildings or other structures located close to an ocean. Aluminum is also very

lightweight, making it usable for both side and roof cladding. Also, like most other

metals, it can be painted nearly any color. The only downside is that aluminum is not as

strong as steel and may not provide the same level of protection in harsher

environments.
 Another type of metal cladding which is usually used only for roofs or other

finishing work. While it may provide adequate protection, it is often chosen for its
aesthetic appeal alone. Copper starts out as a bright, shiny orange, but eventually
corrodes into a light green. This color is highly desirable for many buildings and is
often chosen solely for that purpose. From a functional standpoint, however, copper
and other metals are chosen for sloped roofing applications because they allow for
snow to slide off easily, unlike tile or shingles.
 Often desired for its high strength, but is typically only used for industrial

applications. Most grades of steel are prone to rust and typically require regular
maintenance. There are some grades of steel, however, that are rust-resistant. One
of these is galvanized steel, which is incredibly popular for both cladding and
other applications where long-lasting strength is required. Other grades, such as
stainless steel, are very similar in this regard, but are often far more expensive and
typically arent employed for cladding purposes.
 The Advantages of Metal Wall Cladding when looking for a modern, cost effective,
environmental wall cladding system – metal is an excellent choice. New metal
panels can be install dover almost any other type of cladding – including brick,
block, pre case concrete, stucco, or even existing metal systems.

 Colors can be mixed and matched to create the signature project you or your
client’s desire. Like metal roofing, metal wall cladding will stand the test of time.
Not only do these metal systems provide an attractive solution but they last up to
50years as well.

 Provide pics
 Metal cladding may cost a little bit more, but in the long run you will see how it
pays off. Siding a building with metal panels is also a green way to go.

 Scratches should be touched up with paint to ensure the elements cannot get to the
untreated metal beneath the specialized coatings and paintings.

 •Also make sure that the panels are installed properly by a contractor that specializes in
this type of siding.

 •An error like using the wrong type of fasteners can cause a great deal of problems in
the future.

 • Metals do not always re-act will when together. If a fastener of a different material is
used other than the same material used for the wall panels, a negative reaction may
occur. This will cause corrosion later on.
 Ensure your walls stay clean and well looked after

 •When retrofitting a wall system with metal, a professional engineer should be

consulted to calculate loads and assess the integrity of spans and furring
attachments.
 •To ensure that retrofit metal wall installations are fully moisture-resistant, all
systems come with matching flashings that are installed around window sills,
windows, corners and copings.
 •Metal sidings are unlikely to allow water to penetrate, but metal is more subject to
disfigurement
 Make sure you look for possible corrosion. Scratches should be touched up with

paint to ensure the elements cannot get to the untreated metal beneath the
specialized coatings and paintings.

 Ensure your walls stay clean and well looked after– this will minimize repair bills

for future years to come.
