What is standing seam wall cladding?
With standing seam cladding, panels are joined by folding the side upstands together to create a sheet metal cladding profile that Australians have grown to recognize immediately and love. It’s extremely versatile and can be installed in various ways including roofing, walls, and facades, making it one of the most popular cladding choices in Melbourne and across Australia.
What’s more, the panels can be custom made so that they can be used for curved or concave surfaces. The panels are then laid on a plywood backing and fixed with concealed clips. The end result: simple lines that add an iconic look to residential properties.
Whether you prefer vertical or horizontal lines, you can achieve both layouts with this system. It’s also available in a range of materials including aluminum, brass, copper, or zinc.
What are the advantages offered by standing seam wall cladding?
Durability
Standing seam wall cladding can help to offer protection against the rain, wind, and other extreme weather conditions. At the same time, it can also help to increase the structure’s mechanical strength.
Energy efficiency
In addition to improving overall strength and adding an extra layer of protection, this type of wall cladding can also help to regulate your building’s energy efficiency better. For example, by opting for a lighter colored metal, you can reflect the sun’s UV rays helping to keep your building cooler. On the other hand, if your biggest concern is the colder months, selecting a darker wall cladding will help the building to absorb more heat. What’s more, it can also boost thermal insulation to help even further with temperature control.
Aesthetics
Not only does standing seam wall cladding serve a practical function, but it also improves the aesthetics of a property’s exterior helping to set it apart from similar houses or office blocks. Should you decide to sell the property at a later stage, this type of cladding can help to bump up the price.
Low maintenance
In addition to being lightweight, metal cladding requires minimal maintenance. Moisture, for instance, won’t be an issue with copper and you won’t have to clean algae on a regular basis.
Versatility
If you’re concerned that this extra feature will increase your workload, think again. You can rest assured as materials like aluminum, zinc, and copper are regarded as lightweight and won’t substantially increase the dead load of the building.
As mentioned earlier, with standing seam cladding, the panels are custom made. This offers much more flexibility (and quite literally as the panels can also be applied to concave or curved facades) to allow more architectural creativity.
Cost effective
Considering all these main benefits that standing seam wall cladding can offer property owners in Melbourne, it becomes clear that it’s one of the most cost-effective ways to add a unique look to a building. Whether it’s by offering added protection against weather or water or by improving the energy efficiency of the building, wall cladding can help to reduce costs while improving the appearance. Plus, it doesn’t require lots of maintenance, allowing builders and architects to save money in the long run too. For example, copper cladding can offer protection for up to 50 years.
