EXTERNAL WALL CLADDING

SEM – VII YEAR - IV
INTRODUCTION - ADVANCE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
CLADDING CAN BE DEFINED AS AN
EXTERIOR FINISHING SYSTEM WHOSE
PURPOSE IS TO PROTECT THE
UNDERLYING STRUCTURE AS WELL
AS TO PROVIDE A DECORATIVE
FINISH.

INSTALLATION
SYSTEMS -
A. ATTACHED SYSTEM –
ATTACHED DIRECTLY TO
STRUCTURAL FRAME IN LARGE
PANELS WHICH SPAN ONE OR
MORE STORIES OR BAYS.

B. CURTAIN WALL SYSTEM –

ATTACHED TO THE STRUCTURAL
FRAME WITH CLIP ANGLES OR
SUB FRAMING. ATTACHED SYSTEM CURTAIN WALLSYSTEM

EXTERNAL WALL CLADDING 1

PURPOSE -
A. PRIMARY ROLES –
• CONTROL THE INFILTRATION OF
WEATHER ELEMENTS.
• DURABLE, AESTHETICALLY
PLEASING.
B. SECONDARY ROLES –
• SOUND AND THERMAL
INSULATION.
• FIRE RESISTANCE.
NEED -
• CREATE A CONTROLLED
ENVIRONMENT.
• PROTECT THE BUILDING FROM
EXTERNAL CONDITIONS.
• PROVIDE THERMAL INSULATION.
• CREATE AN EXTERNAL FAÇADE.
• GENERATE AN AIRTIGHT BUILDING
ENVELOPE.
EXTERNAL WALL CLADDING
ADVANCE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
The nature of cladding selected for a particular building will depend on
considerations such as:
•How the building is going to be used.
•Internal and external conditions.
•Durability.
•Local context.
•Planning requirements.
•Building regulation requirements.
•Appearance.
•Availability.
•Budget.
•Maintenance requirements.
•Structural requirements.
When designing a suitable cladding, designers should pay particular
attention to:
•Control of air leakage.
•Ease of installation.
•Spread of fire.
•Cleaning.
•Maintenance, and renewal.
•Strength and durability.
•Durability.

CURTAIN WALL ADVANCE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
SYSTEM-
CURTAIN WALL SYSTEM ARE A NON
STRUCTURAL CLADDING SYSTEM FOR
THE EXTERNAL WALLS FOR BUILDINGS. 6MM LAMINATED GLASS
THEY ARE GENERALLY ASSOCIATED
WITH LARGE, MULTI STOREY
BUILDINGS.

TYPICALLY CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS

ALUMINIUM FRAMING
COMPRISE A LIGHT WEIGHT
ALUMINIUM FRAME ONTO WHICH
GLAZED OR OPAQUE INFILL PANELS
CAN BE FIXED. THESE INFILL PANELS
ARE OFTEN DESCRIBED AS GLAZING. ALUMINIUM FRAMING

ADVANTAGES –
APPEARANCE AND ATTRACTIVENESS.
THERMAL EFFICIENCY.
KEEPING OUT AIR AND WATER.

SANDWICH PANELS - ADVANCE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
SANDWICH PANELS ALSO REFERRED AS
STRUCTURALLY INSULATING PANELS
CONSIST OF TWO LAYERS OF A RIGID
MATERIAL BONDED TO EITHER SIDE OF
A LIGHT WEIGHT CORE.

THE THREE COMPONENTS ACT

TOGETHER AS A COMPOSITE. SANDWICH PANEL

MODERN SANDWICH PANELS CAN BE CLAMP

FLAT, BENT, CURVED AND JOINED
TOGETHER IN AN ALMOST UNLIMITED
RANGE OF CONFIGURATION AND ARE
AVAILABLE IN A WIDE VARIETY OF
COLOURS, FINISHES, THICKNESS.

ADVANTAGES –
• THERMAL AND SOUND
INSULATION.
• FAST AND LIGHTWEIGHT
INSTALLATION.
• STRENGTH AND DURABILITY.

EXTERNAL WALL CLADDING 4

RAINSCREEN - ADVANCE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
A RAINSCREEN IS PART OF A DOUBLE
WALL CONSTRUCTION THAT CAN BE
USED TO FORM THE EXTERIOR WALLS
OF BUILDINGS. DUO WALL
TYPICALLY RAINSCREEN ARE FORMED
OF RELATIVELY THIN, PRE-FABRICATED
PANELS.

THE RAINSCREEN ITSELF SIMPLY

PREVENTS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF
WATER FROM PENETRATING INTO THE BRACKET WITH ANGLES
WALL CONSTRUCTION.

ADVANTAGES –
• LESS MAINTENANCE.
• REDUCED WEIGTH LOADINGS.
• BETTER ACCESSIBILITIES TO
SERVICES. RAINSCREEN CLADDING
• IMPROVED AESTHETIC.
• EASE OF INSTALLATION.

EXTERNAL WALL CLADDING 5

TIMBER CLADDING - ADVANCE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON
METHODS OF CLADDING BUILDINGS IS
THROUGH THE USE OF TIMBERSOFT STUDS
WOODS.

THIS TYPE OF WOOD IS RELATIVELY

KNOT FREE AND HAS A NATURAL
RESISTANCE TO DECAY MOISTURE.

IT CAN BE READILY STAINED OR

PAINTED AND ALTERED TO CREATE A NAIL
RANGE OF PROFILES.

ADVANTAGES –
• TIMBER IS A NATURAL MATERIAL,
WARM AND COMFORTING. STUDS
• IT IS ATTRACTIVE IN GRAIN AND
COLOUR.
• WIDE AVAILABILITY OF STYLES,
TEXTURES AND FINISH.

METAL CLADDING - ADVANCE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
METAL PROFILE SHEETS CAN BE USED
AS A FORM OF EXTERNAL CLADDING,
AND ARE COMMONLY USED FOR
AGRICULTURAL, INDUSTRIAL, RETAIL
AND LESIURE BUILDINGS.

SHEETS ARE MANUFACTURED IN A

BATTEN
RANGE OF CORRUGATED AND OTHER
PROFILES, SUCH AS TRAPEZODIAL OR
HALF ROUND.

MODERN TECHNIQUES ALLOW METAL PANEL

TO BE PRE AGED, COATED WITH
PRESERVATIVES, OR PAINTED A WIDE
RANGE OF HUES AND TEXTURE.

ADVANTAGES – FIXING
• GIVES A VERY SHINY APPEARANCE
BRACKET
AND REQUIRES VERY LOW
MAINTENANCE.
• IT DOES NOT ABSORB ANY KIND OF
MOISTURE HENCE IT IS HIGHLY
RESISTANT TO ALGAE AND FUNGI.
• RESISTANT TO FIRE.
• IT IS NOT GOOD INSULATOR FOR
SOUND.

FABRIC STRUCTURE - ADVANCE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
FABRIC STRUCTURE ARE TENSILE
STURCTURES IN WHHICH A
MEMBRANE IS STRETCHED TO FORM A
THREE – DIMENSIONAL SURFACE THAT
CAN BE USED TO CREATE A ROOF,
SHADING, OR DECORATIVE
COMPONENT.

IT USES LESS MATERIALS AS COMPARED

TO OTHER FORMS OF CONSTRUCTION,
AND ARE TYPICALLY TRANSLUCENT,
BUT THEY PROVIDE LITTLE THERMAL
MASS OR INSULATION AND CAN HAVE
A SHORTER LIFESPAN THAN SOME
OTHER MATERIALS.

ADVANTAGES –
• MORE DAYLIGHT IS TRANSMITTED
AND BLOCKS SUNLIGHT WHICH
REDUCES THE HEAT GAIN OF
BUILDING AND CAN ALSO BE USED
FOR AESTHETIC PURPOSE.

EXTERNAL WALL CLADDING 8

PLASTIC CLADDING - ADVANCE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
UPVC WEATHERBOARDING IS A
VERSATILE FORM OF CLADDING THAT
COMBINES THE TEXTURE AND
NATURAL AESTHETIC OF TIMBER WITH
MAINTENANCE-FREE DURABILITY.

IT CAN BE FIXED VERTICALLY,

HORIZONTALLY OR EVEN DIAGONALLY
ON ANY KIND OF BUILDING FRAME.

ADVANTAGES –
• IT IS EASY AND QUICK TO INSTALL.
• IT IS TOUGH AND IMPACT
RESISTANT.
• IT IS RESISTANT TO FIRE AND
MOISTURE.
• IT CAN ACHIEVE HIGH EFFICIENCY
RATINGS.
• IT HAS GOOD WEATHER
RESISTANCE PROPERTIES.
