Exterior cladding is the method of fixing materials such as tiles and marbles over the external wall or on the frame of a building. Exterior cladding serves a dual purpose of keeping the weather elements out and improving the aesthetic value of buildings.
Traditionally, tiles, marbles, granite, slate, and wood have been used for cladding. However, these materials only improve the aesthetic value of the building and do not provide any insulation or help you save energy.
Drawbacks of traditional cladding
- Involves heavy investment on materials and labour
- Requires more installation time and highly skilled labours
- Uses non-eco-friendly materials
- Non availability of materials for replacement
- Proper fixing is not guaranteed because of pasting systems.
Green cladding is the method of cladding your home or building by using green products. Green cladding helps you save energy and your environment while also adding an aesthetic value to your home or building.
Advantages of green cladding
- Uses pure eco-friendly materials
- Easy and fast to install
- Installation doesn't require highly skilled labour.
- Green cladding materials can be painted or polished by using exterior weather coat materials based on your taste.
- Materials can be fitted using fasteners, and hence there is no possibility of breakage.
- Materials have a warranty of up to 50 years.
- Materials can be used to sound proof your buildings.
- Green cladding can protect you from extreme heat and cold climates and can act as a weather shield.
- Wide range of designs can be achieved by changing the method of fixing the materials.
So, choose green products for your buildings and homes to save energy, cost and your environment.
