Cladding Roadmap
Design Phase
- Determine aesthetic and functional requirements for cladding.
- Select appropriate cladding materials based on factors like durability, weather resistance, and maintenance requirements.
- Develop detailed design drawings and specifications.
Procurement Phase
- Source cladding materials from suppliers.
- Ensure materials meet required standards and specifications.
Installation Phase
- Prepare the building envelope for cladding installation.
- Install weather-resistant barriers and insulation if necessary.
- Cut and fit cladding panels according to design drawings.
- Attach cladding panels using appropriate fastening methods (e.g., screws, adhesive, clips).
- Install flashings, trim, and other accessories to ensure watertightness and proper detailing.
- Conduct quality checks during installation to ensure alignment, finish, and integrity of the cladding system.
Finishing Phase
- Apply any necessary coatings or finishes to the cladding.
- Clean the cladding surfaces and remove any debris or construction residues.
- Conduct final inspections to ensure compliance with design specifications.
