The construction industry, often referred to as the building or civil engineering industry, is a broad and multifaceted industry involved in the development, construction, maintenance and repair of physical infrastructure.
The term “cladding,” in the context of construction, refers to the exterior cladding of a building, which has various functions, including protection, thermal and acoustic insulation, aesthetics, sustainability, and durability.
Materials commonly used for cladding include brick, stone, wood, metal, glass, cement fiber, and various types of composite panels. Material choice depends on factors such as climate, budget, local regulations, and aesthetic preferences.
