Cladding is the application of one material to cover or coat over another material, so as to provide a protective layer or skin.
Aluminium and Vinyl Cladding are very commonly used today when cladding houses and other buildings.
The use of cladding in building is not new, but over the ages the materials have improved significantly. The first instances of cladding can be seen everywhere, from the construction of the great pyramids of Egypt through to the Anglo Saxon houses and timber cladding of Germanic tribes.
From ancient times until the 19th Century, the cladding that was in-use was a hard material like wood or stone, or something that would not react to corrosion like copper, brass and bronze.
Cladding was applied to the building in various ways, though one of the most common methods was to place an exterior layer of individual bricks, clay tiles or shingles which were then held in place with mortar, wood or pegs.
Cladding protects your building’s structure from wind and rain, allowing your building to last longer. It is very effective in creating an insulation shield for your home, as well as being an attractive design solution.
Buildings are constantly being exposed to the elements and as a result, experience natural wear and tear of the structure and build.
With cladding, you can minimise much of the damage to your home and enjoy a range of other benefits including:

We would highly recommend Abbey Thermalboards. I saw a newly completed house in our town and emailed them for a quote. Within 2 days we had a visit from Pete (who was in our area) & measured and quoted. Prior to this he gave me a list of completed homes in our town. Spoke to a local lady who had hers done 20 YEARS ago - and still looks like it was freshly painted - she also had outstanding comments about workmanship & the company. The installers Mick & Steven turned up 5 weeks later with everything they needed - took less than 2 days to install on our 3 bedroom home. They were lovely friendly guys where nothing was an issue and all our needs were met - including framing up and covering some glasses panels and a window. Very professional installers who worked non stop and did an amazing job... Now to make the rest of our house look so great. Thanks Abbey Thermalboards!
