Cladding is the application of one material over another to provide a skin or layer. In construction , cladding is used to provide a degree of thermal insulation and weather resistance , and to improve the appearance of buildings. [ 1 ]
Siding or wall cladding is the protective material attached to the exterior side of a wall of a house or other building. Along with the roof, it forms the first line of defense against the elements, most importantly sun, rain/snow, heat and cold, thus creating a stable, more comfortable environment on the interior side.
Aluminium composite panels (ACP), made of aluminium composite material (ACM), are flat panels consisting of two thin coil-coated aluminium sheets bonded to a non-aluminium core. ACPs are frequently used for external cladding or facades of buildings, insulation, and signage .
Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) is a general class of non-load bearing building cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface in an integrated composite material system. EIFS has been in use since the 1960s in North America and was first used on masonry buildings.
Blue fiber cement siding HardiePanel on design-build addition, Ithaca NY. Fiber cement siding (also known as "fibre cement cladding" in the United Kingdom, "fibro" in Australia, and by the proprietary name "Hardie Plank" in the United States) is a building material used to cover the exterior of a building in both commercial and domestic applications.

It may refer to the following: Cladding (boiler), the layer of insulation and outer wrapping around a boiler shell; Cladding (construction), materials applied to the exterior of buildings Wall cladding, exterior material applied to the walls of a building
Stone cladding is a stone veneer, or simulated stone, applied to a building or other structure made of a material other than stone. Stone cladding is sometimes applied to concrete and steel buildings as part of their original architectural design.
Cladding enables structures to be made with much less weight than solid copper. Four-millimeter-thick (5 ⁄ 32 in) composites weigh 10 kgf/m 2 (2.08 pounds per square foot), only 35% as much as solid copper of the same thickness. [102] Copper cladding is used in building exteriors and indoor environments.
