Wall cladding is used in building construction to refer to the layering of one material over another. This is done to protect against the elements (to prevent water or moisture penetrating), or to provide a decorative finish.
While cladding is often used for walls, it can often be found all around the house – plastic cladding is ideal in bathrooms due to its waterproof nature – and around windows too.
Materials traditionally used in the interior of homes, such as wood and brick, have aesthetic benefits over practical ones. Plastic cladding is easy to clean and hygienic, while wood becomes damp when cleaning and brick is difficult to clean. Wood and brick absorb dampness and moisture in a way that plastic does not.
This in-built protection against moisture and natural durability, combined with its easy to clean nature and hygienic elements makes plastic cladding the ideal material for use in many parts of the home (kitchens and bathrooms particularly), as well as hospitals and catering establishments.
Aesthetics do not need to be sacrificed in order to benefit from the practical aspects of plastic cladding. Wall cladding now comes in many designs and colours, meaning you can create an attractive and pleasant environment in your home, which is also easy to clean and care for.
Other benefits of using plastic cladding are cost (it is cheaper than other materials), and while it cannot be recycled, plastic wall cladding does not release toxins in the way that paint does, and requires less energy to process than other materials.
