Industrial cladding is a robust and widely used protective measure for industrial and commercial premises. Once installed, industrial cladding offers a high level of protection for walls and roofs whilst greatly reducing the maintenance required. The benefits of professionally installed industrial cladding include a range of cost saving benefits and an added layer of external protection for walls and roofs. If you are considering installing industrial cladding at your premises, here are the key ways that your premises can benefit from this worthwhile investment.
Cost-Efficient
Industrial cladding is installed as a protective layer over external surfaces, providing a cost-efficient way to save costs on external building maintenance and repairs. Once installed, industrial cladding is extremely durable and will protect buildings against weathering and corrosion for years, with very little maintenance required.
Safety and Structural Integrity
The largest benefit of industrial cladding is the high level of protection that it offers. Industrial cladding will protect the building against severe weather damage and regular wear and tear, as well as strengthening the structural integrity of the building. Common causes of damage, such as heavy rainfall, will no longer be able to reach the main structure of the building, extending the life of the building materials and reducing the need for costly repairs.
Low Maintenance
The installation of low-maintenance cladding on a building, rather than brick or paint, automatically makes the building itself low maintenance. Most forms of exterior cladding are durable and easy to clean and require only an occasional wash as maintenance.
Compliance
Industrial cladding contractors will ensure that the cladding is fully compliant with health and safety regulations. At Universal Contracting, our range of industrial cladding for roofs and walls are fully compliant with British Standards for fire performance characteristics, guaranteeing that your premises are fully compliant as well as protected.
How to know if it needs replacing
Professionally installed industrial cladding will offer long-term protection; however, after years of exposure to the elements, it is possible that the cladding will need to be replaced or repaired. The swelling caused by intense rainfall, combined with the UV damage from the sun, may cause cracks within the cladding. This cycle of hot and cold external temperatures will cause the cladding to contract and expand which can cause structural damage to the cladding. When inspecting the cladding, it is important to look out for visible signs of wear and tear, such as damp areas and cracks. The roof should also be checked for indications of leaks or cracks.
At Universal Contracting, our range of industrial cladding can be produced to match or compliment the existing style, eliminating the need to completely replace large sections of cladding. This cost-effective replacement is particularly useful if only a small area of the existing cladding has become damaged and our team will use only the best and most durable materials for these repairs.
