Cladding is application of one material over other to provide skin or layer intended to control the infiltration of weather, or for aesthetic purpose.

Cladding is a durable product that will last for up to 50 years, depending upon the type of cladding. It is very quick to install, and is easy to work with.

Cladding is generally installed by the manufacturers or suppliers of the cladding, but it can also be done by professionals such as Carpenters.

Most commonly, it is installed around windows, doors, roofs and chimneys.
