What is Wall Cladding?

Wall cladding is the process of layering one material on top of another material
which will create a skin layer over the walls.
Cladding is used for preventing the walls and the internal workings of a room or
building from being damaged by water or allowing the leakage of water that could
potentially become a hazard for people who are walking around inside of the
structure.
Wall cladding is available in several types and forms with different materials,
texture, and dimensions.
Wall claddings are used both in the interior [wallpapers] and exterior [applying a
material] of a building.
