Composite Wall Cladding

Composite Wall Cladding

Composite wall cladding offers high installation efficiency, thermal performance, and long-term durability for industrial and commercial buildings. It is commonly used in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and operational units that require a sturdy, low-maintenance exterior.

When specified and installed correctly, composite wall cladding provides key advantages, including:

  • Faster installation through factory-engineered panels
  • Reduced site labour and programme risk
  • Consistent thermal and fire performance

Panels combine steel or aluminium facings with an insulated core, providing structure and insulation in one system. This approach is effective where programme certainty is important. Accurate installation, especially at junctions and fixings, is essential for long-term performance. Jade-Aden integrates composite wall cladding within the building envelope to ensure efficient delivery without compromising compliance or finish quality.

Traditional Seam Walls

Traditional seam walls are chosen for industrial and commercial buildings that require a smooth façade and long-term weather resistance. They are ideal for developments where visual consistency and architectural restraint are priorities, especially on customer-facing or planning-sensitive sites.

When installed correctly, traditional seam walls offer several advantages, including:

  • Clean façades with concealed fixings
  • Suitability for visually prominent elevations
  • Consistency across wall and roof applications

Panels are mechanically seamed over concealed clips to create a continuous surface, so detailing around seams, edges, and penetrations must be carefully managed. Jade-Aden installs seam wall systems with attention to thermal movement, drainage, and interface detailing, ensuring reliable performance and compliance with aesthetic and planning requirements.

Built-Up Profile Cladding

Built-Up Profile Cladding

Built-up profile cladding is used on industrial buildings where performance, flexibility, and cost control are priorities. It is well-suited to large-span structures such as warehouses, manufacturing units, and storage facilities that may change over time.

When specified and installed correctly, built-up profile cladding offers practical long-term benefits, including:

  • Flexible insulation specification to suit changing requirements
  • Ease of repair or replacement at the panel level
  • Adaptability for future extensions or modifications

The system typically includes an external steel profile sheet, an internal liner, and insulation between the layers. This construction allows components to be accessed or upgraded as building use changes. Installation quality is critical, especially at joints and interfaces. Jade-Aden installs built-up profile cladding according to manufacturer guidance and current building regulations to ensure durable, compliant, and adaptable results.

Rainscreen Cladding

Rainscreen cladding protects industrial and commercial buildings from wind and rain while supporting moisture control and thermal performance. The system features a ventilated cavity behind the outer façade to manage water ingress and maintain structural health.

When specified and installed correctly, rainscreen cladding provides important long-term benefits, including:

  • Effective moisture control to protect the structural frame
  • Reduced condensation risk within the building envelope
  • Improved internal environmental stability

Accurate installation is essential, as airflow, drainage, and cavity detailing directly affect performance. Jade-Aden installs rainscreen cladding as part of a coordinated building envelope, with careful attention to cavity barriers, fixings, and interfaces. This approach safeguards the building over its

Rainscreen Cladding
Brise Soleil

Brise Soleil

Brise soleil systems help manage solar gain and enhance the exterior appearance of industrial and commercial buildings. They are most effective on façades exposed to high-angle sunlight, where controlling heat ingress improves internal comfort and reduces overheating.

When specified and installed correctly, brise soleil systems provide clear benefits, including:

  • Reduced solar gain during warmer months
  • Improved internal comfort through passive shading
  • Enhanced façade design with architectural interest

By limiting excessive summer sunlight and allowing lower-angle winter sun, brise soleil systems support passive environmental control and energy efficiency. Jade-Aden installs brise soleil as part of a coordinated cladding strategy, ensuring proper integration with the building envelope and reliable long-term performance.


Plan Your Cladding Installation with Confidence

Jade-Aden Services delivers tailored cladding installation solutions, coordinating systems to meet building use, exposure, and performance needs. As specialists in structural steel and industrial cladding, we align cladding with the primary structure to reduce installation risk and ensure correct detailing at interfaces. Cladding installation can also be coordinated with wider construction projects as needed. We don’t just provide industrial cladding; we can also provide structural steel, roofing services, electrical, plumbing and any other aspect that you need for a totally comprehensive service.

We supply industrial cladding across the South, covering areas including Dorset, Bournemouth, Poole, Southampton, Portsmouth, Hampshire, Ringwood, Wareham, Plymouth, Devon, Exeter, Torquay, Yeovil, Salisbury, Exmouth and Weymouth.

Building Cladding FAQs

Can cladding go over re-existing brickwork?

Yes. Cladding can often look tidier and more visually appealing for commercial and industrial properties, and so can be fitted to brickwork.

Is cladding waterproof?

Cladding systems are designed to manage water rather than act as a single waterproof barrier. Weather resistance is achieved through correct detailing, drainage, membranes, and, in some cases, ventilated cavities behind the cladding.
When installed correctly, cladding protects the building structure from wind-driven rain and moisture ingress. Examples of well-detailed systems can be seen in Jade-Aden’s completed projects in our Projects portfolio.

How long does cladding last?

Industrial cladding can last several decades when correctly specified, installed, and maintained. Lifespan depends on factors such as material choice, exposure conditions, and installation quality. For the cladding we install, you can expect it to last up to 50 years if well-maintained.

Systems installed as part of a coordinated building envelope typically offer greater durability and lower long-term maintenance requirements. For insight into how long-term performance is achieved, visit Jade-Aden’s Blog page.

What maintenance does cladding require?

Maintenance needs depend on the material but typically includes:

  • Periodic cleaning
  • Inspections
  • Minor repairs to keep it in optimal condition
Do I need Building Regulations approval for cladding?

Yes, most industrial and commercial cladding installations must comply with UK Building Regulations, particularly regarding fire performance, thermal efficiency, and structural safety. The exact requirements depend on the building type, height, and intended use. Professional specification and installation help ensure compliance from the outset.
Jade-Aden works with current regulations across all projects.
