FAQ
Exterior cladding
Can cladding cover an existing facade?
Feasibility depends on the substrate, moisture and fixings. Existing defects need assessment before preparation work or a supporting frame is specified.
What maintenance is needed?
This depends on the material, finish and exposure. Check the manufacturer’s instructions and warranty conditions for the chosen system.
Does cladding eliminate thermal bridges?
Not on its own. Continuous insulation and suitable junction details can reduce heat loss, depending on design and installation.
Could the work qualify for financial support?
Conditions depend on the region, building, project and application date. Check current rules with the competent administration before committing; financial support is not guaranteed.
