Solutions for cladding performance and supply issues

Aluminium has beneficial properties such as lightweight, recyclability, resistance to fungi & algae, and easy installation. These panels are widely utilised for sound & thermal insulation, fire resistance, and improving the aesthetic appeal of buildings. Aluminium alloy 3000 series is generally used as outer skins of ACP material.The industry has been looking for exterior wall designs to reduce carbon emissions during construction and operation. The other major trend would be BIM implementation in envelope design, although BIM has been implemented for a while in the UK, most of the industrial surveys and academic research still show the uptake of BIM is slow, particularly for cladding specialists and supply chains.The exterior finish layer known as cladding is put in place to cover support structures and/or exterior walls. This finish layer has various advantages, including aesthetic enhancement, improved thermal and environmental performance, and protection from unfavourable outside factors. Numerous cladding system choices are currently offered on the market to make improvements in building technology and building materials.Glass (Non-structural external wall cladding) approach of cladding is most preferred for multi-story buildings and the advantages are the aesthetic, acoustic, thermal and flexural strength. Usually, aluminium alloy 6063 is used as a structural joint in the curtain wall industry.
