Description: The use of metal cladding is basically the bonding together of many different metals. Generally, it's used in interior spaces where there's a need for both aesthetic and functional qualities. For instance, it can be used to finish the walls and roofs of a building. Metal cladding is different from welding or fusion welding in that it is a method to bind the metals together using a roll forming process.
This type of metal cladding is especially popular in the UK where it's used as a rain screen. As you may know, a traditional rain screen is made from galvanised steel (or galvanised aluminum) that's stretched over an open surface such as wooden posts. In the case of metal cladding, the panels are first galvanised before the paint is applied. Then they're stretched over the surface using a large drum roller. After they're stretched, they're sprayed with a specially treated paint that protects them from rusting. A very nice side effect of using this type of metal cladding as a rain screen is that it can also prevent rain water from entering gutters.
This service comes in a wide range of types. Some are designed to be used on walls while others can be used to line driveways and walkways. There are also cladding products available that don't have any solid surface at all - such as the 'fa Ae' cladding. The 'fa Ae' is made from polyimide, similar to polystyrene, and it has no melting point. That means it can be melted in extremely low temperatures, which is exactly what's needed in making the protective walls that surround driveways and parking lots.
The most important thing about this type of metal cladding (or 'fa Ae') is that it won't absorb or hold moisture. As such, it's perfect for use on driveways and around pools - which is probably why it's become so popular over recent years. It's also easy to install, thanks to its flexible design. All you need are two clips, one for each corner of the orona zero area, and then just push the clips together.
Unfortunately, not every home needs an orona zero protection system. If your home is sealed off from the outside world, then you don't need it. However, it's a good idea to invest in one for your garage or shed, as it's an excellent way to protect your vehicle from water damage. If you own a small movable structure in such a case, then an orona zero unit might be a bit of a nuisance, but it's definitely worth it. In the end, you'll be happy that you've made the effort - water resistant coatings aren't as cheap as they used to be, so it's worth doing the bit extra to ensure your structure lasts as long as possible.
Whatever type of metal cladding you choose, make sure you protect it well. You can do this by fitting it to the inside of your home - where it will remain hidden from view. Alternatively, you can cover it with sheets to make it more weatherproof; however, it's always best to paint or seal it to make it waterproof. Whether you choose to buy metal cladding panels or not, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
