CLADDING

CONSTRUCTION V
GROUP 1
 CLADDING
Cladding is the application of one material over
another to provide a skin or layer.
In construction, cladding is used to provide a

?
degree of thermal insulation and weather
resistance, and to improve the appearance of
buildings.
Cladding can be made of any of a wide range of
materials including wood, metal.
 COMPONENTS
INSULATION: SANDWICHED INTO PANELS OR ADDED IN
THE FORM OF BATS, BLANKETS, RIGID BOARDS OR FILLS.

JOINTS: EASE OF CONSTRUCTION BETWEEN PANELISED

SYSTEMS, COMPENSATE FOR THE MOVEMENT

INTERNAL DRAINAGE: AIR GAPS WEEP HOLES AND SEALENT

AS PREVENTION AGAINEST WATER LEAKAGE

Air Cavity
INTERNAL FINSHES: ARCHITECTURAL FINISHES APPLIED TO
INTERNAL FACE OF SUPPORTING FRAME

Cladding Insulation Concrete

SUPPORT FRAMING: HOLDS THE EXTERIAL MATERIAL TO
BUILDING. TRANSFER LOADS IMPOSED ON EXTERIAL TO
STRUCTURAL FRAME.

SYSTEMS
ATTACHED SYSTEM

• HAS EXTERIAL CLADDING DIRECTLY ATTCHED TO STRUCTURAL FRAME IN

LARGE PANELSWHICH APANS ONE OR MORE STORIES OR BAYS.

• ADVANTAGE: ABILITY TO FULLY INSULATE THE EXTERIAL WALLS AND

PROTECT THE STUCTURAL FRAMES.

• EG. PRECAST CONCRETE OR STEEL STUD FRAMES.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEM

• Curtain wall systems are non-structural cladding systems for the

external walls of buildings

• Facades involves window wall, cladding elements and curtain

walls which generates the exterior envelope of the building.

• The curtain wall systems now possess structural importance equivalent

to that gained by other structural elements of the building.
INFILL SYSTEM
• Infill panel walls are a form of cladding built between the
structural members of a building.

• The structural frame provides support for the cladding

system, and the Cladding provides separation of the
internal and external environments.

• They are self-supporting between structural framing

members

 WET SEALANT JOINT

THIS INSTALLATION SYSTEM,

WITH TRAY TYPE( ROUT AND
RETURN) PANELS AND
SEALING JOINT.
 HANGING METHOD

• IT SIMPLIFIES THE INSTALLATION

WORK
• THE PANELS ARE NOT TIGHTLY
FASTENED TO THE SUB FRAME
BUT ARE SIMPLY SUSPENDED.
 DRY GASKET JOINT

IN THIS METHOD, WE USE GASKETS IN

THE JOINTS INSTEAD OF SEALANTS.
THE GASKET JOINT REDUCES THE
AMOUNT OF DIRT OR STAIN ON THE
ALPOLIC/FR SURFACE.
 NARROW OPEN JOINT

IN WHICH NARROW JOINTS BETWEEN

THE PANELS ARE AESTHETICALLY
EFFECTIVE.
ACCORDING TO NEED, WE APPLY A
SEALING MATERIAL OR EPDM GASKET
TO THE JOINTS
 ROOF COVERING

. In
roof applications, we install a
water gutter or waterproof sheets
behind the panels so that leaked
water can drain outside
Spandrel back panel
of glass curtain wall

• Glass curtain walls sometimes need an

opaque spandrel panel (back panel) behind
glass for aesthetic and energy-saving
purpose.

• The spandrel back panels behind the glass

must be very durable especially to UV
exposure, because it is hard to replace
them after the building is completed.
 Sunshade or cornice

PANELS are installed on interior gypsum

board with hanging method.
Conceal the vertical joint with a joint cover
of the same material.
In renovation projects, “Stud Detector” will
help you to find out the position of studding
concealed behind gypsum board.
Stud Detector is a small tool working with an
electromagnetic sensor.
 Interior partition in
factory

In this example, electrically-conductive

fluorocarbon-coated ALPOLIC/fr LT is used
for interior partition panels in a factory.
 Roof of pedestrian
passage

CLADDING HAS BEEN USED AS ROOF

PANELS OF PUBLIC PATHWAYS AND BUS
STATIONS.
PANELS ARE JUST CLAMPED BETWEEN
SUB-FRAMES AND ALUMINUM
EXTRUSIONS.
IN MOST PROJECTS, THE CURVING
PANELS CAN BE NATURALLY CURVED
WITHOUT A MECHANICAL BENDING.
