2. CLADDING - PURPOSE
• Protection and aesthetics
• control the infiltration of weather elements
• Observe the egress of water vapour
• durable, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
• sound and thermal insulation
• fire resistance
• capacity for cleaning industry, polluted or
vandal prone environments.
5. • Has exterior cladding attached
directly to structural frame in
large panels which span one
or more stories.
• Example: precast concrete or
steel-stud frames welded or
bolted to attachments built
into the structural frame.
• Primary advantage: ability to
fully insulate the exterior
walls and protect the
structural frame from
deteriorating effects of
weather.
ATTACHED SYSTEM
6. CURTAIN WALL
• Similar to attached system except
it is attached to the structural
frame with clip angles or sub-
framing.
• Examples: metal or glass walls
which enclose most modern
skyscrapers. Also, natural stones
and light weight precast panels.
• Primary advantage: standard
design requiring less time in pre
construction and manufacturing.
7. INFILL SYSTEM
Infill panel walls are a form of cladding built between the structural
members of a building. The structural frame provides support for the
cladding system, and the cladding provides separation of the internal and
external environments.
Infill walling is different to other forms of cladding panel in that it is fixed
between framing members rather than being attached to the outside of
the frame.
• Example: pre-cast concrete, masonry, glass or combination of these.
• Infill panel walls are not considered to be load bearing, although they are
required to resist wind loads applied to the façade, as well as supporting
their own weight.
8. TYPES - STONE CLADDING
Stone sidings are applied to the exterior walls of
buildings to give it the appearance of a solid stone.
elegant, natural, and earthy.
9. STONE CLADDING
• Stone cladding is a thin layer of
real or simulated stone applied
to a building or other structure
made of a material other than
stone.
• Stone cladding is sometimes
applied to concrete and steel
buildings as part of their
original architectural design.
10. STONE CLADDING
• solid stone siding is one of the
oldest types of siding available
• it offers high level of protection and
almost no maintenance is required.
• due to being real stone it will not be
damaged from direct sunlight and
so it won’t peel over time or loose
its natural color.
• natural stone is also strong enough
to protect the interior of building
from natural elements. in this way
you can combine beauty with
proper protection.
11. Character: often has
Visible fossils
embedded within,
some color variety.
Not generally chosen
for outdoors due to its
porosity and tendency
to stain but it can be
used with proper
sealing
Character: often has
“busy” visual texture
in a variety of colors.
The hardness of the
stone makes granite
the most popular
choice for any
outdoor applications
and exterior cladding
LIMESTONE GRANITE SLATE
Character: rough
texture, mostly
greys, but some
varieties have
dramatic some color
variation. Great for
outdoor use.
STONE CLADDING - TYPES
12. ADVANTAGES OF STONE CLADDING
• stone is impenetrable and will last a lifetime
• the look and feel of real stone is unmatched.
• stone veneer gives you a similar look of stone but about
half the cost
• resistant to moisture, extreme temperatures, insects, and
fire
• zero maintenance other than being cleaned with a pressure
washer
13. ADVANTAGES OF STONE CLADDING
• The stone wall cladding is available in many different types of
stone, including things like brick and sandstone. Sheets of
marble or slate are also available, as are sheets of rock that only
look like these more expensive natural stones.
• The weight of cladding is much less than the weight of full sized
stones.
• Some areas are not good places to build stone buildings, but
cladding allows you to get the same look.
• advances in insulating and energy conservation
• resists weather conditions than other cladding materials like
plastering etc., so it minimize maintenance costs.
• It has different natural colors that do not change from weather
conditions and sun light depends on its chemical elements such
as white, black, yellow, gray, pink etc.
14. DISADVANTAGES OF STONE CLADDING
• installing natural stone requires heavy labor and installation time
driving up the cost
• stone veneer can have the same moisture problems as stucco
• Poor tensile strength
• Some stones decay
• Need for skilled workforce
• Maintenance cost – discoloration/cleaning
• Sedimentary stone is not formed under pressure but in layers and
can split off if vertically loaded. This can, however, be useful –
e.g. slate
• Some stone, such as marble, is too expensive for construction
although may be used as cladding
16. METAL CLADDING
Cladding is the bonding together of dissimilar metals. It is
different from fusion welding or gluing as a method to fasten the
metals together. Cladding is often achieved by extruding two
metals through a die as well as pressing or rolling sheets together
under high pressure.
17. • Aluminum composite panels (ACP) & extruded
aluminum are used. They are light weight,
noncorrosive and recyclable in nature, have
high strength-to-weight ratio and come in
diverse colors and finishes.
METAL CLADDING - TYPES
• Copper, another type of
metal cladding is used for
its aesthetics alone.
• Zinc is very expensive but
aesthetically eye-catching and
durable.
19. DISADVANTAGES
•Scratches should be touched up with paint to ensure the elements
cannot get to the untreated metal beneath the specialized coatings and
paintings.
•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.
20. ADVANTAGES OF METAL CLADDING
• increase the aesthetic appeal of a dated or damaged building,
making it easier to lease or sell.
• colours can be mixed and matched to create the signature
project you or your client's desire.
• last up to 50 years.
• when a building is cladded in metal panels, it is also energy
efficient. heating and cooling bills will go down, saving you
money every season. Metal cladding may cost a little bit
more, but in the long run you will see how it pays off.
• metal siding systems are 100% recyclable and the siding you
buy is also made out of recycled materials.
• fire resistance.
• metal does not insulate.
• ability to be carved in different shapes.
21. TILE CLADDING
• Tile cladding is an extremely versatile
cladding option and comes in the
form of a panel or tile suited for both
exteriors and interiors of your house.
• Long lasting and easy to maintain,
these can transform your house to a
contemporary abode.
• Sleek modern designs or opt for a
natural textured look.
• Incredibly durable and long lasting,
you can even combine tiles that are
of different shapes and sizes to gives
unique and suave look.
• Moreover, these tiles also act as
great insulators thus proving to be
energy efficient as well.
22. TILE CLADDING
• Comes in the form of a panel or tile suited for both exteriors
and interiors
• Incredibly durable and long lasting
• Act as great insulators thus proving to be energy efficient as
well.
23. TILE CLADDING
Tiles are fixed to the building by an adhesive or cement mortar. The bond to
the substrate is chemical. Tile size is generally limited to 300x300mm on
buildings tiled above the first floor. The system is totally dependent on
provision of a sound substrate, use of a suitable adhesive and correct
installation technique. If these requirements are achieved the effect can be
very successful and long lasting.
24. Vertical Tile Hanging
Vertical battens are fixed to the outside face of the SIP wall
panel, followed by counter battens and tile hung cladding.
25. TILE CLADDING
• Ceramic cladding solutions have been around for ages and been
a popular choice for architects around the world for decorative
purposes.
• Being lightweight, it requires very little maintenance while
possessing a superior resistance to chemical and atmospheric
attacks from pollution, acid rain and smog.
• Its innovative design and durability also facilitate greater
versatility in terms of tile size and arrangements.
