Cladding is an exterior finishing system that protects the underlying structure of a building while providing an aesthetically pleasing outer layer. There are several common types of cladding materials including weatherboard, brick, stone, and metal cladding. Each material has its own unique properties like durability, maintenance needs, insulating abilities, and visual appearances that can be used to create different styles.

What is Cladding?
Cladding is an exterior finishing system meant to protect the
underlying structure (like a home) and provide an
aesthetically appealing finish.
It is the application of one material over another to provide a
skin or layer intended to control the infiltration of weather
elements. Usually this term has different meaning depending
on the materials used and the accepted standard in each
industry.

timber that can be painted or

maintenance to stay in a good
condition.
