Residential cladding: a world of possibilities!

From small-scale residential complexes to entire neighbourhoods of houses or impressive residential towers: new build projects or renovation projects for housing come in many shapes and sizes. As a project developer or property owner you have to deal with a wide range of requirements and wishes: (fire) safety, sustainability, living comfort, making buildings future-proof… And of course the appearance is also of great importance. One way to give new or existing buildings a suitable look is to use facade cladding for residential construction. 

The importance of aesthetics in residential construction  

Residential complexes are often very iconic for a city or village. Did you know that the positive effect of a visual upgrade can even be seen in safety and crime figures? A number of studies showed, for example, that there was less burglary and vandalism. Beautiful and aesthetic living environment also have a positive effect on well-being and quality of life. 

Design freedom in residential cladding 

A true advantage of using facade cladding for residential construction, is that it’s a very easy way to create the specific appearance you’re looking for. Any colour you want, without the need to repaint after some years? A timber effect facade that is maintenance-free? It’s all possible with facade cladding! And why not go for a facade with the appearance of stone, but created with facade panels. By using lightweight facade panels instead of heavy natural stones, a high residential tower with a stone look is a lot easier to realize.  

Residential cladding: a range of options 

There are quite some different types of cladding  on the market. Although facade panels often look very similar at first glance, there are important differences. The best-known materials – HPL, ACM, fibre cement and stone wool – all have their specific properties. The differences are particularly large in the field of fire safety and sustainability. 

These are of course very important factors when selecting exterior cladding for residential construction. In addition, easy workability and installation, maintenance costs, dimensional stability and weather resistance are of great importance.
