If you are thinking of revamping your old facade, there are numerous materials to choose from. Each material has its own unique properties and advantages.
Long lifespan
Probably the most convincing reason for choosing aluminium cladding is its impressive lifespan. Aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion, rust and weathering, making it extremely suitable for outdoor use. Wood is prone to rot and steel can rust. Compare this to aluminium: it retains its quality and appearance for 30 to 40 years with minimal maintenance.
Light-weight and easy to install.
Aluminium is a lightweight material, which simplifies and speeds up the installation process. Moreover, the light weight of aluminium has proven an advantage in renovation projects, allowing it to be mounted on existing facades and structures with ease. Compared to heavier materials, aluminium cladding allows you to work more efficiently, so you can enjoy your facade makeover much sooner. With Cladix, this goes even faster, since you can buy the packages and install them yourself all in a day’s work. Thanks to the light weight of the Cladix packages, transport is much simpler!
Maintenance free
Another advantage of aluminium cladding is the fact that it requires very little maintenance. Wooden cladding needs to be painted, stained or treated regularly to provide protection against weathering. With wood, you will very quickly start noticing a colour difference between a shaded area and a facade surface that receives a lot of sunlight because of the UV rays. Facades clad in aluminium effortlessly retain their original appearance without fading. This means savings not only in terms of time and labour, but also in long-term maintenance costs.
A Contemporary, Modern Look
Aluminium cladding is the optimal choice for those who like a clean and minimalist finish. It exudes an elegant simplicity that is hard to achieve with other materials. Aluminium looks exclusive and luxurious. It has a timeless character that transcends trends.
Environmentally friendly
Finally, aluminium is also an environmentally friendly choice. It is a fully recyclable material, meaning it can be reused to 100% after disposal without loss of quality. The manufacturing process of aluminium cladding also requires significantly less energy compared to some other metals, making it a sustainable choice for the conscious (re)builder.
In conclusion, while there are several facade cladding materials on the market, aluminium offers the winning combination of durability, aesthetics, environmental friendliness and light weight. That makes aluminium cladding a smart choice for your renovation or new construction project.
