WHAT IS CLADDING?

• Cladding is the application of one material over another to provide a

skin layer .in construction ,cladding is used to provide a degree of
thermal insulation and weather resistance and to improve the
appearance of buildings.
• How long it last depends on the type of cladding but most cladding
systems are quite durable and last up to 50 years.
• TYPES OF CLADDING
1. STONE CLADDING
2. TIMBER CLADDING
3. WEATHERBOARD CLADDING
4. FIBER CEMENT CLADDING
5. BRICK CLADDING
6. VINYL CLADDING
7. METAL CLADDING
PURPOSE OF CLADDING
• PROTECTION AND AESTHETICS
THE PRIMARY ROLES
Control the infiltration of weather elements.
Observe the egress of water vapour.
Durable ,aesthetically pleasing appearance.
THE SECONDARY ROLES
Sound and thermal insulation
Free resistance
Capacity for cleaning in dusty ,polluted or vandal
prone environments.
TWO TYPES OF CLADDING

EXTERIOR INTERIOR
 Timber  Stone
 Pvc  Metal
 Back painted glass  Timber
 Weather borad
 Wallpaper
 Fiber cement
 Ceramic
 Brick
 stone  Vinyl
 Terracotta
 Mosaic
 Green wall
 Glass curtain wall
 TIMBER P.V.C BACK PAINTED CLASS

CERAMIC CLADDING wallpaper Weather board

terracotta Green wall Fiber cement

STONE CLADDING
 stone cladding is comprised of thin layers of natural
or simulated stone on the exterior of homes or
buildings.
 Stone sidings are applied to the exterior walls of
buildings to give it the appearance of a solid stone.
 Simple and quick process
 Looks elegant and natural.
 MATERIALS

 OPTIMAL FOR OUTDOOR USE VARIETY.  THE HARDNESS OF
FOR CLADDING AND POOL  NOT GENERALLY THE STONE MAKES
SURROUNDS AS IT NATURALLY CHOOSEN FOR GRANITE THE MOST
WATER RESISTANT AS IT TENDS OUTDOORS DUE TO ITS POPULAR CHOICE FOR
TO PUSH WATER OUT DUE TO POROSITY AND TENDENCY ANY OUTDOOR
THE WAY THE STONE IS TO STAIN BUT IT CAN BE APPLICATION AND
FORMED. USED WITH PROPER EXTERIOR CLADDING.

FROM GOLD AND ORANGES  ROUGH TEXTURE MOSTLY
TO GREEN. GREYS ,BUT SOME VARIETIES HAVE
APPLICATIONS- WALL AND DRAMATIC SOME COLOR VARIATION
DECORATIVE GREAT FOR OUTDOOR USE.

These Stones Are Available In The Form Of Tiles Or They Are Fixed To The Designated Areas With
Panels In The Case Of Large Natural Stones And In Cement And Plaster Or Adhesive As
The Form Of Mesh Mounted Panels In The Case Recommended By The Vendor
Smaller Or More Brittles Stones.

TYPES
SOLID STONE CLADDING
 Solid stone siding is one of the oldest types of siding available.
 It offers high level of protection and almost no maintenance is required .
 Due to being real stone it will not be damaged from direct sunlight and so it
won’t peel over time or loose its natural color.
 Natural stone is also strong enough to protect the interior of your house from
natural elements .in this way you can combine beauty with proper protection.

NATURAL STONE VENEER

 Similar to solid stone siding ,natural stone cladding is made from real stone
processed through special diamond bladed saws to cut off the outside layer.
 The natural stone cladding is not a full stone but rather a slab of stone that can
be affixed to the side of an existing structure.
 This produces veneers with nominal thickness of (31-37 mm)
 At an average weight of 50-75 kg /sqm.(depending on stone selection).
Wet installation
method of natural stone cladding
Wet installation method which is also known as direct adhered method is the most
common method used for the installation of natural stone cladding.
ADVANTAGES OF WET INSTALLATION METHOD
 It is cheaper
 Requires no onsite drilling
 Eliminates the chances of cracks on wall due to drilling.
 Bond perfectly from edge to edge leaving no space in between which makes it look
more even.
DISADVANTAGES OF WET INSTALLATION METHOD
 If the bond between the wall and the adhesive /mortar is not intact then there are
chances that he stone can fall off.
 The stone fixed with mortar may change in colour due to absorption of water from
back mortar layer.
 It is a time consuming procedure.

STEP 1 -calculating materials

STEP 2 -surface preparation
STEP 3 -MIXING THE MORTAR
STEP 4 - appling the stoNE
DRY INSTALLATION
METHOD OF NATURAL STONE
CLADDING
Dry installation method which is also known as mechanical
installation method uses embedded metal anchors and ties
for the connection purpose.
The stone required for this method must be thick because the
method requires drilling which could increases the occurrence
of cracks.
ADVANTAGES OF DRY INSTALLATION
 The dry cladding method is safe and it prevails the stone from falling off the years.
 This method allow for expansion and contraction of stone in extreme weather conditions.
 The appearance of stone used in dry cladding work looks spotless and aesthetically
pleasing.
 It is a time saving procedure.
DISADVANTAGES OF DRY INSTALLATION
 there are chances for the occurrence of cracks on substrate.
 It is an expensive method
 It required high skilled labour.
 While drilling one must be alert otherwise it could be harmful for you
