The construction sector has undergone a lot of transformations and developments over the last few decades.

Wall cladding is now the fad among many immovable enterprise and homeowners seeking to improve their properties look and overall isolation. Experts in the construction sector are opting for cladding as a way to make the buildings look more modern and minimalistic for any building to stand out.

Benefits of wall cladding panels

Variety of different options for aesthetics

Adding cladding to the building's exterior provides an aesthetic choice that makes the completed structure all the difference. Not only will it look pleasing to the eye, but once buyers come forward to express an interest, cladding will also add monetary value to the property. There is a multitude of cladding options available, not only in terms of colour but also for the textures of the material. This is essential so that it can fit into the area's surrounding architecture while distinguishing the design in its own right as well.

Low maintenance levels

One of the main reasons why cladding in many cases is chosen over painting is because of the low maintenance requirements. Whereas painted surfaces need more attention in terms of cleaning and repairing, cladded walls typically only need a scheduled wash down to keep them in great condition.

Protection and safeguarding of the structure

When you install cladding on the outside of a building, you also add an additional layer of protection that acts as a shell to protect the material below. When it comes to the build-up of condensation, cladding enables this to be expelled the interior through a ventilation system and out into the external atmosphere. This is a major benefit to the environment inside the building, helping to ward off mould or rot that can develop over time.

Due to the cladding, moisture external sources, such as rain and snow, will also be prevented getting into the building’s structure. Extreme changes in weather can sometimes lead to the cracking of materials, but the presence of cladding will protect the structure below, while also preventing high levels of sunlight and any potential chemical absorption.

Increased internal insulation

It will also offer higher levels of insulation within the building, depending on the thickness of the cladding being used. This is not only in terms of heat but also external noise, which is especially useful if the building is situated in a built-up, urban area. During the winter months, the extra skin on the building makes it easier to regulate temperatures and will ultimately lead to lower energy bills for the occupants.

In order to block out external noise and to support the temperature within the structure, a balance must be struck between the thickness of the cladding. As with the aesthetics, the insulation will also add financial value to the building if the R-Value is high, so this is always worth taking into consideration.

Ecology and sustainability

In today's world, every part of a building's construction has to take into consideration the wider environment. The materials used should be sustainable and the environmental impact of the structure has to meet certain regulations in order to be deemed fit for purpose.

In this regard, cladding helps to minimize the level of carbon dioxide emissions leaving the building. These will be emitted via the heating system and also plays into the overall improvement of the insulation of the building.

Added financial value

The initial cost of buying and installing cladding will be higher but in the long run, the long-term value will demonstrate its worth tenfold. The extra insulation can lead to better temperature regulation inside and lower energy expenditure on an annual basis. With lower levels of maintenance required, this also means less money will need to be spent on expensive repairs which can take some time to complete.

Cladding also improves the mechanical strength of any building it is put onto, adding to the overall durability of the structure. This helps to save money on repairs in other areas of the building, making it easier to project the management of budgets throughout the year.
