The Top Five Trends in Exterior Cladding Design

The combination of different aesthetics such as modern and traditional, rustic and elegant, and textured and sleek cladding materials can create instant visual interest and appeal.

Fremont, CA: A building's exterior walls serve both a functional and aesthetic purpose. Not only do they affect the look and feel of the surrounding environment, but they also leave a lasting impression. At the same time, architects, designers, and developers require high-performance, durable, and energy-efficient buildings. That's why selecting the right exterior wall cladding material that meets both function and aesthetic requirements is crucial. Unfortunately, with so many options in the marketplace today, choosing the right building materials can be difficult.

Drainage wall systems with continuously insulated insulation can simplify the specification process for building materials because they are fully integrated with continuous insulation, air and water-resistive barrier, and drainage for effective heat, air, and moisture control. A comprehensive testing process is also applied to ensure all components work together seamlessly, as required by today's building codes, and is covered by a single-source manufacturer warranty. In addition, a variety of aesthetic options are available, from thin brick to tile, wood, and metal.
