What is wall covering used for?
Wall cladding is used to improve a building's resistance to bad weather, ensure its thermal insulation and enhance its appearance. Cladding also improves the mechanical strength of a building and provides a low maintenance option to increase the durability of a property.

Buildings must be able to withstand a variety of weather conditions, from wind and rain to extreme temperatures. These elements can cause corrosion, deterioration and damage to a building's structure, making it dangerous and costly to repair.
Weather-resistant barriers are essential for protecting a building's walls from these eventualities, thereby improving its longevity and the health and comfort of its occupants.

The type of wall covering best suited to your needs will depend on a number of factors, including your budget, desired look and climate in your area. It's always a good idea to consult a professional for help in choosing the right type of wall covering for your project.
