Copyright (c) 2012 Jason Mitash

Hello Mates,

I am an architect by profession. I kind of blog sometimes, guiding people around with their home improvement plans. Today we shall talk about options in wall cladding and some places have a strong need for such suggestive blogs and I am always here to help.

We've seen how home renovation can be a "pain in the" you know where. It is a very difficult job and it involves a lot of decision making and can be challenging. The toughest part of home renovation is selecting a cladding for your house and that too a suitable one. I have seen a lot of sites giving tips about specific geographies like 'home renovation', 'home renovation perth', etc, but they are all hogwash. They will tell you about stone or cement cladding for your walls which are age-old and almost redundant now.

Vinyl wall cladding on the other hand protects your home from wear and tear as well as greatly improving its appearance. It is a great way to safeguard the walls from harsh weather conditions as well as giving an updated appearance. Wall cladding panels can incorporate several materials like natural stones and perforated metals, but vinyl wall cladding is the most popular among them, claiming more than 50% of the market share.

Why vinyl wall cladding is the considered the best?

There are many reasons why homeowners do not choose stone or metal cladding materials but rather choose vinyl cladding. Wall vinyl cladding has a lot of advantages, a few would be;

Acts as an insulation Vinyl wall cladding offers all around protection round the year and is perfect for all weather conditions.

Wind proof- Homes installed with vinyl panels are considerably protected from wind in case of a storm. Homes which are situated in locations where there is a threat of storms should be installed with thicker panels as they are stronger and durable.

Rain Proof- Proofing the home with vinyl panels shuts any pores or cracks on the walls which could lead to water leakage during rains. Also since the panels are not tightly attached to the walls, it does not engulf any moisture. Since, they effectively safeguard the walls from any fungus or mould growth.

Low cooling and heating costs- Proofing around the walls means reduced costs of heating as well as cooling as the walls will not let in much heat and cold.

Installation and maintenance

Easy to Install- The installation process is simple and easy. If a home owner is willing to take up the job himself, the cost of cladding house can be reduced considerably. Otherwise, professionals can install the panels within a short time span. There are a lot of options available in and around major cities. Search for vinyl cladding professionals.

Low maintenance costs- Vinyl panels are strong and durable and are not susceptible to chipping or breaking. A wash with a garden hose now and then will keep them clean and fresh. Another benefit is that the costs of scrapping and painting the home every year can be avoided when using vinyl cladding.

Keep away pollution- Vinyl claddings protects the home not only from weather but also from pollution and mainly from noise.
