Cladding entails the development attached to a building's structure to form non-structural exterior surfaces.
Fremont, CA: Cladding systems perform critical functions in buildings. They can provide thermal insulation, safeguard internal spaces from the elements, and, perhaps most importantly, give the building a "face," enhancing its appearance and properly identifying the design element. In addition, cladding entails the development attached to a building's structure to form non-structural exterior surfaces. While wooden cladding was once the only option, there are now numerous materials, colors, weights, textures, anchoring systems, and other variables. The following are some of the most common materials used for façade cladding, as well as projects that make excellent use of them:
ACM (Aluminum Composite Material)
ACM is an abbreviation for "Aluminum composite material," a category of high-strength coating made up of a three-layer panel with two pre-painted aluminum plates linked to a polyethylene core (PE). ACM panels are used in interiors and exteriors because they have good dimensional stability, are lightweight, and have an elegant appearance that can get customized with many colors and textures.
Ceramics
The burning of clay results in the formation of ceramics. Most modern processes include several other ingredients, resulting in extremely strong products that can take on any shape.
