Lightweight Cladding
Lightweight or Insulation cladding is fast becoming the preferred product when it comes to renovating, extending or building a house due to the thermal benefits, ease of installation and low impact on our environment.
The thermal advantage of cladding means real heating and cooling savings, through external insulation on the outside of the wall, which gives up to 30% more efficiency than insulation batts.
Using an acrylic render and texture, lightweight cladding systems provides a seam free finish, giving a high quality rendered look.
R-Value is a precise measurement of a material's resistance to heat transfer. The higher the R value the more resistant to heat transfer and the better the cooling and heating benefit. For example, the table below details the typical R-Value of various substrates used in a standard 70mm timber frame plasterboard construction.
