Cladding with flat sheets and panels involves selecting materials like aluminium, steel, zinc, copper, and composites, each offering varying thicknesses (0.5mm to 4mm) for durability. These panels come in standard and custom sizes, featuring finishes such as anodized, painted, or powder-coated for enhanced aesthetics and protection. Integrated insulation layers improve thermal performance, while adherence to fire ratings ensures safety. Installation methods vary, including mechanical fixing and adhesive bonding, impacting ease of installation and maintenance. Key specifications also consider weather resistance, weight, and sustainability, with an emphasis on recyclable materials and eco-friendly manufacturing processes, ensuring both functional and environmental benefits.
