Cladding Type

Fiber Cement, Vinyl, Metal (steel/aluminum), Sandwich Panels, GFRC

Material Composition

– Fiber Cement: Cement, sand, and cellulose fibers- Vinyl: PVC resin (~80%), limestone, and binders- Sandwich Panels: Composite with foam or mineral wool core- Metal Profiles: Pre-coated steel or aluminum sheets

Thermal Resistance

– Fiber Cement: Non-insulating (depends on assembly)- Vinyl Siding: R-value ~2–5.5 per EPS-backed panel- Sandwich Panels: λ = 0.024–0.05 W/m·K core, offering excellent insulation

Fire Performance

– Fiber Cement: Non-combustible, certified A1/A2 per EN 13501–1- Vinyl: Ignition at ~387°C; chlorine base provides flame retardancy- Sandwich Panels: Varies by core; mineral-core rated flame-retardant, PE core has higher fire risk

Water/Moisture Performance

All types protect the structure; moisture management depends on installation and membranes. Vinyl resists moisture but has some concerns over water ingress.

Durability & Impact Resistance

– Fiber Cement: Strong, resistant to termites, fire, and impact- Vinyl: Fade-resistant, flexible (may dent); co-extrusion improves quality- Metal Cladding: Durable, low-maintenance, with strong acoustic dampening (up to RW 57 dB)

Maintenance Requirements

– Fiber Cement, Metal, Vinyl, Composite: Low maintenance- Vinyl: Requires minimal cleaning- Timber Cladding: High maintenance, needing periodic sealing

Aesthetics

Wide range of finishes: smooth, wood-grain, metallic, stone textures. Mixing materials enhances design freedom.

Environmental Impact / Sustainability

Recyclable metals, fiber cement, and polymer composites. Insulated siding features low VOCs, termite repellents, and a lifespan of 50+ years.

Typical Panel Sizes

– Sandwich Panels: 40–200 mm thick; spans 3–11 m- Insulated Vinyl: 4–16 ft long × 6–21 in wide; thickness 75–200 mm

Acoustic Performance

– Sandwich Panels: Sound reduction of ~25–30 dB- Metal profiles with insulation: Sound suppression up to RW 57 dB

Installation Method

– Fiber Cement: Mechanical fixing with nails and flashing- Vinyl: Lock + loose-nail installation with floating expansion- Various systems (clips, Z-girt, rail) used depending on cladding type
