What Is Wall Cladding?

At the most fundamental level, wall cladding is any material used in the construction industry that’s installed on the exterior of a building and serves as part of the building envelope. The wall system provides numerous functions and advantages, from providing thermal insulation and air and moisture resistance, to adding design and aesthetic character to a building’s appearance and structure.

Wall cladding finishes may vary from a material’s natural finish to painted, treated, or physically altered to meet a specific design intent. In recent years however, there’s been a huge shift towards product and finish selection based on factors related to sustainability, building performance, and the safety and wellbeing of its occupants.

Descriptions of Aluminum Sheets

Aluminum Sheet is a very popular material applied in many fields, especially commonly used for commercial building wall cladding and decoration as well as ceiling and roof envelope. As a lightweight material with excellent formabilities, aluminum sheets are fabricated in many different designs and shapes to help the architects with unique design ideas and concepts. With aluminum sheets that customized to special designed aluminium panels for wall cladding, facade envelope, column envelope, awning or eave or canopy envelope and decoration, the modern builsing are designed to be many special styles, giving unique landscapes for the cities.

The popular thiskness aluminum sheets applied for building decorations is 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm etc. You can use the aluminum sheets for not only wall cladding and decorations but also roofs and ceilings decoration.

How to Install the Aluminium Wall Cladding?

Aluminum wall cladding system is also called as aluminum curtain wall system which is an independent glazing system of a building, it is extended by some castings that are welded with metal structures for installing the cladding panels. On the modern market, the most popular cladding materials are stone panels, glass panels and metal panels or composite panels, while aluminum panels are the most popular metal cladding materials for the curtain wall glazing. The aluminum panels are prefabricated according to the installation structures and dimensions as well as architecture designs, the aluminium panels are fixed to the framing structures by self-tapping bolts and the gaps among aluminum panels are sealed by silicone sealants for a close glazing curtain wall system.

Why Use Aluminum Cladding?

Aluminum wall cladding is a material of choice in numerous configurations including single skin sheet, thicker solid aluminum plate, and aluminum composite material (ACM) consisting of two aluminum skins bonded to a solid fire-retardant core. There are a number of reasons why aluminum wall cladding is the preferred choice.

Sustainability. Aluminum is a continuously recycled metal with almost 75% of all the aluminum ever produced still in use today.

Versatility in function. Finished aluminum wall cladding can be formed into various shapes and configurations, and with a natural light weight and high strength to weight ratio, can be installed faster and more economically than heavier wall cladding choices. This enables architects to design buildings that meet their vision while taking advantage of the functional benefits of the material.

When properly designed and installed, aluminum wall cladding, as part of the exterior wall assembly, is an integral part of a building’s weather resistance, preventing unwanted air and water intrusion while providing specific energy performance.
It also contributes to the safety and welfare of a building’s occupants as wall assemblies must comply with fire safety requirements.

Finally, aluminum wall cladding can be finished with a wide range of options from physical texturing, such as embossing or roll-forming sheet, to anodizing, spray coating, and coil coating sheet and plate. The type of finishing employed depends on the needs of the application as well as the limitations of the wall cladding product itself.

For pre-finished aluminum wall cladding, such as single skin sheet, ACM aluminum composite material, and solid aluminum plate, coil coated finishing is the typical application process of choice.

Architects specify coil coated finishes because of their color consistency and durability. When utilizing AAMA 2605 compliant paint coatings such as 70% resin kynar, the material can be backed by industry standard finish warranties spanning 20 or 30 years from installation.

In addition to industry standard solid colors to finishes that are more metallic in appearance, coil coating opens up a plethora of finishes, from solid color, metallic like colors, and specialty finish options that mimic wood, natural metals, and even stone finishes.
