With the use of new technologies and inventions that we see the Construction sector is developing and improving upon day by day, it is quite reasonable for any person to construct or remodel a building or home or other structures.


Although new techniques have made buildings beautiful and strong enough, still there is a need to make the project more anticipated by choosing the best technique that will also fall in line within a set budget.


These days one of the most preferred, popular, and widely used techniques for construction is cladding.

Why cladding?
It is truly a multi-purpose building process with a huge variety of materials used for almost all aspects of construction. We find it on walls, both interior and exterior, decks and outdoor spaces and also as a roofing solution.

An obvious reason that many homeowners and people involved in real estate development are spending millions of dollars on exterior cladding is to enhance the exterior curb appeal by making their structure more beautiful.


Exterior cladding is also a useful tool for waterproofing especially in Canadian West Coast weather because it is rain and wind-resistant.

No need to worry that this is just a single type of technology because there are many types of cladding available which a person can figure out that is perfect and suitable for his building or deck.


However, it is necessary for a person, before choosing the proper solution for your home, to know what its benefits are:

Fortification
Cladding not only looks wise and beautiful on a building but also adds a layer of protection. It helps in increasing the mechanical strength of the building, especially it works as a rain screen to protect the building from wet weather.


If a building or deck especially in Victoria has to go through a certain type of temperature and climate change, the exterior cladding will save it from any kind of crack and will also work as a waterproofing shield.


Surfaces of buildings or decks having cladding also remain protected from any kind of strong wind or salt air.

Low Maintenance Required
There are many external wall coverings and window capping available for buildings and decks which are less in price and their maintenance requirement is very less or even zero.


Regardless of the material used (composite cladding for example), walls and decking requires very minor attention and repair for years to come.

Curb Appeal
No matter if a person is looking a weather and sun resistant building material for residential, commercial or industrial applications and solutions, this method always adds appeal and durability to a building.

There multiple options for types of cladding and siding, and what each option can offer to a building. It depends on each client when they are choosing in cladding for a building or a deck because the choice made overall changes the look of the property and also raise its market value.


Varieties of cladding are available which a person can choose in terms of colors, types like stone wall cladding, roof cladding, metal cladding, wood cladding, or PVC cladding which add required finishes to change the overall look of building or deck.

Popular Types of Cladding and Siding

At Victoria Cladding and Decking, we specialize in custom metal fabrication of cladding and a range of siding products. Although we prefer metal cladding over other mediums, we feel it's important to know some of the best choices available aside from metal that may be more suitable for the exterior look and needs of your home.


More popular siding options which are widely used these days and recommended for use include:

Stone Wall Cladding
This process involves using natural stones that are built up in thin layers. This type of cladding not only gives style and natural elegance to the building but also protects it from any kind of hard weather. Commonly, stone wall cladding is used for the decoration of gardens and decks. Commonly used stone in this type of cladding includes marble, sandstone, and slate. Many people opt for stone wall cladding for their building because it is made up of a non-porous material and it does not absorb moisture. It also helps to protect the building’s internal wall from the absorption of water. As the material of stone is durable, without losing its natural color and luster, it lasts for many years.

PVC Cladding 
PVC (Poly Vinyl Compound) due to its durability is widely used for covering the building from the outside. For a good number of home and real estate owners this would be a preferred material of choice. Simply because it has a waterproofing surface which works as a rain screen in areas where it rains a lot, or the atmosphere is wet due to salty seawater and winds blowing from the seaside.

If a person chooses PVC cladding to help keep a building lower maintenance and look new, he just needs to wash it. Sometimes the material also contains a UV stabilizer that prevents external walls or buildings from direct sunlight. This wall cladding is also corrosive resistant and weatherproof, therefore it can also be used for bathroom cladding. PVC is great for Canadian West Coast weather as it is rain and wind-resistant. Thus it is used for any kind of external cladding regardless of area and its climatic condition.

Now products have been developed which offers protection in the form of fire-resistant material, however, its proper installation is compulsory for this purpose. If a person uses specialized materials for fireproofing with proper installation, it will help to prevent the spread of fire from one area of the building to another. It is important and advisable for home and property owners that they must counter check PVC deck and wall cladding before purchase and installation that is it fireproof or otherwise. Another advantage of this wall covering is its insulating character which prevents the building from getting warm during the summer season and cold during the winter season.

Metal / Aluminum Cladding
Now this is our specialty. The most commonly used metals for cladding of a building or deck are aluminum and steel. Metal siding/cladding comes with great designs that add value to the property. It is especially useful for those home or property owners who are looking to improve their building’s look. Most of the people go for steel wall cladding as it is hard to damage and sturdy metal. Few people also go for aluminum wall cladding as it is fire resistant and also protects the building from external damages. If a person wants to refurbish his building and does not satisfy with brick effect cladding, he can try metal cladding. Metal cladding comes in various designs, colors, and textures which add beauty to the building as per the requirement of the owner. It is exceptional to use metal cladding as external wall cladding because it maintains a tight cover that performs well to provide good insulation.

To add beauty and durability to a building or house, the best strategy is to use cladding. Different styles and kinds are available from which home and property owners can choose the best one which satisfies their individual needs. When a person is stuck in choosing the right material best for their home, building and environment, it is a must to consult a professional cladding designer and supplier.
