All about Metal Cladding

Certainly one of the most ideal building materials for exterior applications and facades, metal cladding systems and products are renowned for their functionality, relatively low cost and sleek visual appearance. Architects are known to select metal cladding systems particularly when a modern or an industrial look is desired.

Metal cladding is incredibly versatile in terms of the different looks and appearances that can be achieved. Metal cladding systems are available in a wide range of metal types. Some of the most popular metal types include stainless steel, zinc, bronze, copper and aluminium metal cladding.

Metal cladding can be painted in any colour and coated as desired to achieve different types of performance criteria before between transformed into a wide range of metal cladding products and forms. Some of these different types include metal sheets, profiles, cassettes, panels and standing seam metal configurations. The type of installation system used for fixing metal cladding to a building facade depends upon the type of metal cladding selected.

Metal mesh cladding is another category in this area, which along with perforated sheets and expanded metal mesh profiles create particularly beautiful and striking architectural results.

Another benefit of using metal cladding is its sustainability as a building material. Metals are of course known as being among the most durable and long lasting building materials for facades, walls, roofs and more. In addition to the long lifespan metal offers as a cladding type, metal cladding systems can be recycled at the end of their material lifespans.
