Why Do We Need Cladding
The purpose of cladding is to protect a building’s structure from natural elements like wind and rain but it can have other benefits such as insulation, noise control and it can boost the aesthetic appeal of a building.
The major purpose of cladding is to separate the indoor environment of the building from the outdoor in such a way that indoor environmental conditions can be maintained at a level suitable for the building’s intended use. Cladding projects shouldn’t require any planning permission. In construction, cladding is used to provide a degree of thermal insulation.
