Metal cladding
Architectural details
As metal cladding began to be used on a wider range than simply industrial buildings then architectural features such as horizontal profiles and curved eaves and corners have been developed. Colours and textures are mixed
Cassette panels
Cassette panels are formed by either brake pressing or folding flat metal sheets. Panels tend to be rectangular in shape with formed edges on both sides.
Materials used in cladding
Materials for cladding are chosen for their cost, manufacturing parameters, durability and appearance. The most commonly used materials are steel and aluminium. Stainless steel and weathering steels are also reasonably available. In particular circumstances other materials such as copper, bronze and titanium have also been used.
Types of metal cladding system
The three principal forms of metal cladding are profiled sheeting, cassette panels and composite panels.
