Our team of experienced professionals utilizes industry-leading techniques and materials to deliver exceptional results that meet or exceed client expectations and industry standards.
What is Overcladding?
Overcladding is the process of installing a new layer of material over an existing building facade. This process can be done for various reasons, including:
- Improving the building's aesthetic appeal
- Enhancing thermal insulation and energy efficiency
- Protecting the building from weather damage and deterioration
- Updating the building to meet current building codes and standards
Benefits of Overcladding
Overcladding offers numerous benefits for building owners and occupants, including:
1. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal - Overcladding can dramatically transform the appearance of a building, giving it a modern, refreshed look. - A wide range of materials and finishes are available to suit various architectural styles and design preferences.
2. Improved Energy Efficiency - Overcladding adds an extra layer of insulation, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. - This results in lower energy consumption, reduced utility bills, and a smaller carbon footprint.
3. Increased Building Durability - Overcladding protects the existing building structure from weather damage, such as rain, wind, and UV radiation. - This added protection extends the building's lifespan and reduces maintenance requirements.
4. Cost-Effective Building Upgrade - Overcladding is often more cost-effective than a complete building renovation or rebuild. - It allows building owners to update their property without the extensive costs and disruptions associated with more invasive construction projects.
