An example of cladding 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.
In the United States, the International Building Code and ASTM International define Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) as a non-load-bearing exterior wall cladding system that consists of an insulation board attached either adhesively, mechanically, or both, to the substrate; an integrally reinforced base coat; and a textured protective finish coat.

Building envelope made from metal sheet provide builders and architects with products, which meet all of the highest demand regarding construction characteristics and design. The steel from which profiled cladding sheets are made is available pre-coated in a wide range of colors and textures, allowing architects to choose a finish that best ...
A rainscreen is an exterior wall detail where the siding (wall cladding) stands off from the moisture-resistant surface of an air/water barrier applied to the sheathing to create a capillary break and to allow drainage and evaporation. The rainscreen is the cladding or siding itself [1] but the term rainscreen implies a system of building ...

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
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.
