Wall Cladding - Charlotte, NC

Ensuring that their home has an attractive exterior is the goal of all homeowners. Not only does such an exterior make the home more welcoming to residents and visitors alike, it can have a positive impact on the property’s value. For this reason, wall cladding can be an excellent choice for the homeowner. 
What is Cladding?

Wall cladding refers to a decorative covering that is added to a wall or other surface in order to present a different appearance. Wall Cladding is not a structural component, which means that it can be made far lighter than the actual load bearing parts of the structure. This makes installing, removing and modifying cladding an easy and fast process. This can be especially important for homeowners who are planning on adding cladding to part or all of their home’s exterior in order to improve the structure’s appearance. Finally, while not a structural component, cladding can help protect the primary walls from inclement weather, reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Cladding and the Home’s Appearance

Cladding can help customize a home’s appearance, setting it off from the neighboring homes while allowing the homeowner to create his or her unique vision. Because cladding is a physical addition to the home’s exterior walls, it presents a far more distinctive appearance than a coat of paint does. This is especially true when working with Skipping Rock Imports cladding, which comes in an ivory blend or silver design that can be an excellent choice for a wide range of homes. 

The choice of what type of cladding to use is dependent on the location where the cladding is to be installed. For example, installing cladding in an entry way or internal courtyard might see the need for a brighter color, such as silver, where cladding designed to face the rising or setting sun would be better served by using the rich colors found in an ivory blend cladding. 
Other Advantages of Cladding

Cladding has a number of advantages when compared to other methods of customizing a home’s appearance. Installing cladding is a far less messy process than painting a home while also eliminating the unpleasant odors that often accompany a new coat of paint. In addition, cladding can be added to the home gradually, rather than forcing the homeowner to have the entire structure altered at once. 

For cost conscious homeowners, cladding can be used to improve the insulation of the home. By adding cladding to walls that receive the majority of sunlight, the owner can reduce the amount of heat that will be conducted to the home’s interior. This will help reduce cooling costs during the summer. For owners in colder climes, insulation may be added between the cladding and the structural wall, which will reduce heating costs during the cold winter months.
