Some common cladding systems used in facade design include:
1. Curtain Wall System: This is a non-structural system made of aluminum frames with glass panels attached. It provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance, natural light, and offers insulation.
2. Ventilated Facade System: This system uses an outer layer of cladding with an air cavity between the cladding and the building envelope. It provides ventilation, thermal insulation, and protection against moisture.
3. Metal Panel System: Also known as metal cladding, this system uses metal panels made of aluminum, steel, or copper. It offers durability, corrosion resistance, and a sleek appearance.
4. Stone Cladding System: This system uses stone veneers attached to the building facade. It provides a natural and timeless look, along with durability and weather resistance.
5. Terracotta Cladding System: This system uses terracotta panels fixed to the building facade. It offers a variety of colors, textures, and shapes, with thermal and sound insulation properties.
6. Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Panels: GRC panels are made by mixing glass fibers with cement and then sprayed onto molds or panels. It provides a lightweight, versatile, and durable cladding option.
7. Timber Cladding System: This system uses timber panels or boards attached to the building facade. It offers a warm and natural appearance, along with insulation and sustainability benefits.
8. Fiber Cement Cladding System: This system uses panels made of cement and cellulose fibers. It provides durability, fire resistance, and a wide range of design options.
9. High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) Cladding System: HPL panels consist of multiple layers of resin-impregnated paper. They offer a vast choice of colors, patterns, and textures, along with durability and easy maintenance.
10. Polycarbonate Cladding System: This system uses translucent polycarbonate panels that provide natural light transmission, weather resistance, and thermal insulation properties.
