When it comes to choosing the right type of wall cladding for the structure you are designing, you are often spoilt for choice. However, just because you have a lot of choice doesn’t mean that there are a lot of right options that you should choose for your specific project. Normally there will be only a couple of suitable options that you should consider choosing after you have narrowed down the options into a concise shortlist.
Metal wall cladding comes in many different types of metal, colours and styles. You will usually use this type of option when you are designing buildings that are industrial, modern or retro. When you need something that is very durable, corrugated metal wall cladding is often used. Corrugated galvanised steel is often seen on utilitarian buildings, usually with a coloured vinyl finish to give it a bit more of an aesthetic finish.
The most popular wall cladding option
When it comes to versatility, longevity and effectiveness, plastic or vinyl wall cladding is often the best way to go. Polycarbonate panels are a superior form of plastic that do not discolour or deteriorate over time like certain plastics that are commonly used.
You can even get plastic imitations of traditional wood shakes and shingles if you are going for a very natural look in your design. It has been in recent years that plastic wall cladding has become very popular. This is largely down to them requiring a very low level of maintenance and they are generally less costly than other alternatives.
It is often a wise idea to ensure that you wall cladding option give you an added insulating affect. This will help you to save valuable interior floor space, as this insulation will be on the exterior of the wall, rather than the interior which is often seen when using other options.
