Superior exteriors: The benefits of aluminium cladding for residential builds
In the residential sector, traditional cladding materials such as timber and brick remain popular with architects and designers. However, increasingly stringent building regulations and an environmentally-conscious clientele has put the spotlight on alternative solutions. One such solution is solid aluminium, which has a broad range of architectural benefits few other materials can match.
With today’s focus on sustainability, cladding has taken on a more high-profile role in forming the building envelope and creating a controlled internal environment. Beyond popular cladding materials such as brick and timber, there is a growing selection of products and materials for residential cladding systems on the market, all with different performance properties and design options, but few cladding materials can match solid aluminium for its broad range of architectural benefits.
Superior Exteriors: The Benefits of Aluminium Cladding for Residential Builds examines the architectural advantages of solid aluminium for exterior cladding applications. First, we consider the initial design considerations when specifying cladding materials. We then take a look at common cladding materials and the pros and cons of each. Finally, we discuss why solid aluminium cladding is the premier option considering its versatility, strength and durability.
