INTRODUCTION –
CLADDING

• Cladding is the application of one material

over another to provide a skin or layer.
• Cladding is used to provide a degree
of thermal insulation and weather resistance,
and to improve the appearance of buildings.
• Cladding is useful not only in terms of
aesthetics but also in terms of structure
because although it does not receive building
loads, it conceals and protects the structure
itself, isolating, delimiting and defining zones,
activities and structural elements.
PURPOSE OF CLADDING

• Cladding can serve both a decorative and a

functional purpose.
• It is used to complement the architectural style
of the building while also offering protection
from rain, wind, snow, and other outside
elements.
• Building cladding can also add insulation to the
structure while minimizing sound transmission
through the walls.
• Rainscreen cladding - is a form of weather
cladding designed to protect against the
elements, but also offers thermal insulation.
USES OF CLADDING
• Cladding is used to create a controlled internal
environment .
• It helps to protect the building from
the external conditions .
• It provides privacy and security .
• It prevents the transmission of sound .
• Provides thermal insulation .
• Provides opening for access , daylight and
ventilation .
• Creates an external façade .
• It prevents the spread of fire .
• It helps to generate a airtight building
envelope .
TYPES OF CLADDING
• INTERIOR CLADDING
• Timber cladding
• PVC cladding
• Stone cladding
• Backpainted glass cladding
• Ceramic cladding
• Wallpaper
TYPES OF CLADDING
• EXTERNAL CLADDING
• Terracotta cladding
• Stone cladding
• Metal cladding
• Stick frame cladding
• Curtain wall ( glass )
• Fibre cement cladding
• Brick cladding
INSTALLATION
SYSTEMS
• ATTACHED SYSTEM - Has exterior
cladding attached directly to
structural frame in large panels
which span one or more stories or
bays.
• Example: precast concrete or
steel-stud frames welded or
bolted to attachments built into
the structural frame.
• Primary advantage: ability to fully
insulate the exterior walls and
protect the structural frame from
deteriorating effects of weather.
INSTALLATION
SYSTEMS
• CURTAIN WALL CLADDING :
• It is similar to attached system except it
is attached to the structural frame with
clip angles or sub-framing.
• Examples: metal or glass walls which
enclose most modern skyscrapers .Also,
natural stones and light weight precast
panels.
• Primary advantage: standard design
requiring less time in pre-construction
and manufacturing.
INSTALLATION SYSTEMS
• INFILL SYSTEM :
• Cladding material is installed between exterior floor slab
edges and the exposed exterior columns of the structural
frame being the identifying feature.
• Example: pre-cast concrete, masonry, glass or combination
of these.
• Disadvantage: Structural frame is difficult to insulate.
• Differential movement between structural frame and
cladding resulting additional heat loss and heat gain to the
interior environment.
• React to climate and change volume as they age.
INTERIOR WALL
CLADDINGS
• TIMBER WALL CLADDING -
Create clean, linear textures
with a natural timber aesthetic
using our Tongue & Groove
Cladding system.
• Timber cladding walls are often
used as architectural features
due to their incredible natural
aesthetic, along with the
durability and the range of
species and finishes available.
INTERIOR WALL
CLADDING
• PVC CLADDING :
• It is used as a decorative interior wall
finish and had unique properties compared to
other wall cladding at the time.
• PVC panels usually have a hollow core and are
lightweight with a smooth surface for
decoration and a tongue-and-groove system
for easy installation.
• Wall and ceiling cladding is such they are quick
to clean and due to the great surface dirt
doesn't gather in cracks, bumps or pores.
INTERIOR WALL
CLADDING
• STONE CLADDING :
• Stone cladding is a refined or thin layer of
natural,artificial stone, which is applied to
an interior (or exterior) wall, to give the
effect that it is made entirely of stone.
• Natural stone is preferred for a more
authentic, rustic and durable finish.
• ADVANATGES :
• It is versatile .
• Durable and has aesthetic appearance .
• It is easy to maintain .
EXTERIOR WALL
CLADDING
• ALUMINIUM CLADDING :
• Aluminium composite cladding consists of a
layer of plastic sandwiched between two
Aluminium sheets.
• And it's the plastic layer, usually made of
polyethene .
• Aluminium cladding is one of the most used
types of cladding for building exteriors.
• Aluminium is often chosen as the optimal
material for building cladding for
economical, functional and aesthetical
reasons.
EXTERIOR WALL
CLADDING
• BRICK WALL CLADDING :
• Brick wall is suitable for both interior and
extereior .
• Brick cladding is designed to shed and
repel water so that the water cannot
reach the internal framing of the building.
• This reduces the risk of damage to the
framing caused by mold and mildew.
• It also keeps the interior dry and
pleasant.
CURTAIN WALL CLADDING

• CURTAIN WALL CLADDING :

• A curtain wall is an outer covering of a building in which the
outer walls are non-structural, utilized only to keep the
weather out and the occupants in.
• The curtain wall façade does not carry any structural load
from the building other than its own dead load weight.
• A curtain wall is designed to resist air and water infiltration,
absorb sway induced by wind and seismic forces acting on
the building, withstand wind loads, and support its own
weight.
TERRACOTTA
CLADDING
• Terracotta cladding are basically
made of clay .
• They are dried in kiln in order to
make them durable .
• The color is given to the tiles by
adding various dyes .
• The can be customised into
various shapes and designs .
• Price – Rs. 7 per pc.
• Size – 200 x 100 x 10
METHODS OF
CLADDING
• Direct Adhered – This is one of the most
common methods. It is thinner, less
expensive and doesn't require any onsite
drilling .
• Spot Bonding – similar to the direct adhered
but epoxy is only applied to about 10% of
the area resulting in gaps or pockets of air
between the stone and the wall reduces the
chances of water staining.
• Mechanical Bonding - This method involves
fixed or embedded anchors or ties being
used to attach the stone to the surface
