Is cladding suitable for all building types?
Cladding can be applied to various building types, including residential, commercial, and industrial structures. However, it's essential to choose the appropriate material and installation method to suit the specific building requirements and local regulations.
How is cladding installed?
Installation methods vary depending on the material and application but generally involve:
