Why choose composite exterior cladding?
Cladding is a type of siding that covers part or all of your home’s exterior walls. The most popular exterior cladding material today is composite cladding. The advent of composite cladding has revolutionized the exterior cladding industry. Composite exterior cladding is more attractive, durable, and lasts longer, providing superior protection for your home.
Advantages of composite wall cladding
Stone, brick, and would have been used for centuries as exterior cladding materials. Even in modern society, wood cladding is still the main cladding material. This is because the wood is readily available and has beautiful natural wood grain.
But as an organic material, wood is susceptible to moisture damage and weathering. Even pressure-treated wood can fade quickly, along with mold and warping. Of course, doing regular maintenance work can extend its lifespan. But over time, maintenance, repairs can lead to higher costs.
Composite cladding is the best option for upgrading exterior wall cladding. Besides the higher initial cost than wood cladding, it has many advantages that wood materials do not have. The following are the advantages of composite cladding:
Insulation
Composite cladding is favored for its effective sound and thermal insulation. It insulates much better than common building materials such as concrete and steel. Insulation is critical to ensuring energy efficiency in buildings.
Fire resistance
Unlike traditional wood cladding panels, composite cladding has a Class B fire rating. It can effectively prevent the occurrence of fire and provide you with more security.
low maintenance
Due to the unique composition of the production material. Composite cladding does not require painting, treatment, or sanding. This avoids high maintenance costs later on. Of course, you still need to clean once in a while.
Fade-resistant
