Will external wall cladding improve my building's thermal values?

Am I restricted to the colours I can choose from?

To a certain extent yes, but there is a vast array of colour options available from the ever popular Goose Wing Grey to the vivid Solent Blue or Aztec Yellow. The chances are there is a colour that matches what you’re after.

Do I get a warranty once the wall cladding is installed?

Yes, the length of the warranty will be dependent on a number of elements, including: cladding manufacturer used, location of the building, the design of the system and the finished coating of the cladding sheets.

External Wall Cladding Refubishment

External Wall Cladding doesn’t just improve the appearance of exterior walls, giving it a more modern look and finish but it also acts as a barrier to your building.

The use of External Wall Cladding can improve the structure of an external wall, increasing its lifespan and protecting it from extreme weather conditions. Increasing the insulation inside your building can ultimately reduce your utility bills and overheads.

How To Spot When Your Building Needs New External Wall Cladding

There are many signs that you will tell you when you need to replace/repair your existing wall cladding. If the sheets are showing signs of corrosion then the outer coating has deteriorated to the point that the metal is becoming weathered and this can lead to flaking/crumbling of the sheets, compromising the integrity of the walls. If there are obvious signs of holes or missing fixings this can lead to water ingress which in turn can lead to the deterioration of the cladding sheets. Wall cladding is often installed in industrial settings and can often suffer dents and tears due to the nature of the environment and machines operating closely to it, keep an eye out for any obvious damage which could lead to something more significant.
