ADVANTAGES OF METAL CLADDING FOR INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL UNITS
Here are the top 5 reasons why you should invest in metal cladding for your business unit.
1. IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR BUILDING
When it comes to business, first impressions count. Before a customer even enters the building, they’re making judgements, so having an attractive premises can help to build that immediate trust. Instead of building a new unit, use metal cladding to give your existing unit a modern face lift. Metal cladding can also be sprayed with a range of colours to achieve a look that resonates with your brand.
2. RETAIN BUILDING'S STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
Installing metal cladding adds a protective layer to the exterior of your building. This is particularly great for buildings situated in coastal and exposed locations. Whether it's increasing the building’s resistance to the corrosiveness of salty sea air or reflecting sunlight rather than absorbing it, metal cladding should help to retain your building’s structural and aesthetical integrity.
3. IMPROVE FIRE RESISTANCE
Non combustible metal cladding should help to control the spread of a fire by resisting flames that spread up the outside of the building. This by no means means the building is resistant to fire, and the correct safety precautions should be in place at all times. But it could buy you more time if a fire does breakout.
4. IT’S LOW MAINTENANCE
Metal cladding is really easy to keep clean. In most circumstances, your metal cladding can be brushed clean to remove dirt and salt deposits if it’s located in a coastal area. Chemicals should be avoided, as these can be corrosive. Instead, metal cladding can be wiped clean with just water – this also makes it cheaper to maintain than other cladding materials like wood or concrete.
5. IT CAN BE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Whether your values encompass environmentally friendliness or your business operates within the environmental sector, metal cladding can be made from recycled materials, which means their fabrication has less of an impact on the environment than wood or concrete cladding. Metal cladding can then be recycled at the end of its use.
