The exterior of your industrial building, surprisingly, plays a pivotal role in your business. This is why selecting the right materials for it is important. Industrial cladding is becoming a popular option for many companies thanks to its many beneficial properties.
This exterior material will impact the functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability of the building. This is why it is so important to choose the right cladding material for your industrial building.
At Jade Aden Services, we are cladding experts. With over 30 years of providing cladding expertise across Dorset and the South Coast, we know what you need to consider when choosing industrial cladding for your building.
In this blog, we share what you need to think about when selecting cladding for your industrial building and why you need to consider each factor.
Temperature Control Needs
Industrial cladding will play a role in regulating the temperature of the building. Most materials used for cladding will have some insulating materials, meaning they will help retain heat in winter and keep heat out in summer, giving you more control over the temperature in the room and removing the issue of the weather.
Why is this important?
Being able to control the temperatures of your building will make it more comfortable for those working in it. This is important for a happy workplace and productivity.
Depending on what you are producing, temperature control is important as it could severely impact what you are manufacturing or working on.
Local Climate
While most industrial cladding materials will be weather-resistant, it is important to consider the local climate when choosing which cladding to use on your industrial building.
If you are in an area that gets a lot of rain, you will want to be confident that the cladding can withstand large amounts of water without leaking. Alternatively, if you are in a warmer area, you will want to make sure the material can withstand heat without warping and is able to prevent the heat from entering the building, allowing you better temperature control inside.
Why is this important?
This is important because you don't want to replace the cladding every other year because it is weather-damaged.
Aesthetic Preferences
The exterior of your building makes the first impression, so whether you have visitors or not, you will want your industrial building to look smart.
Cladding is available in several different styles, colours and materials, providing you with plenty of options to select a material that will meet your aesthetic and style.
Why is this important?
This is important because it allows your industrial building to look professional and well-maintained, creating a smart impression for people passing by or visitors entering your building.
Budget Constraints
As with anything, there is a range of cladding options available to meet any budget. Of course, when choosing cladding material for your industrial building, you should keep in mind your budget so that you can look at the selection within your price range.
Why is this important?
You will be able to get quality cladding for a lower price, so you shouldn't have to worry about compromising on quality to meet your budget. However, going into the choice with a clear price allows you to focus attention on a range of options that you can afford, making the process more efficient.
Energy Efficiency
Choosing the right cladding will ensure you create an energy-efficient industrial building. This is because it will reduce heat loss and heat gain, so you reduce the need for additional energy consumption to keep the building at a comfortable temperature, therefore reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
This keeps energy bills down and creates a comfortable environment to work in.
Why is this important?
This is important because, as a business, you will be looking for ways to reduce outgoings. Improving the building's energy efficiency can achieve this, all the while becoming more of an environmentally friendly building.
Additionally, it helps create a comfortable work environment, so your staff are happy and productive.
Environmental Impact
As an eco-conscious business, you will want to consider the sustainability of the material you choose. This will start with considerations around the local climate as this will ensure you don't have to waste materials every few years to replace damaged materials.
Additionally, ensure you select a thermally efficient material that provides insulation to keep the building warm in winter and cool in summer.
You might also want to think about whether the cladding will be recyclable if and when it does need to be replaced.
Why is this important?
This is important because these considerations could save you money on energy bills.
Plus, choosing a sustainable, environmentally friendly option enhances your green reputation, positioning your brand and business as one that is looking out for the environment. This can help you attract investors and customers.
