DRY CLADDING

The term 'cladding' refers to components that are attached to the primary structure of a building to form nonstructural, external surfaces. This is as opposed to buildings in which the external surfaces are formed by structural elements, such as masonry walls, or applied surfaces such as render. The Dry Cladding is the exterior skin, or envelope of a building, and includes all moisture barriers and siding materials used to cover the outside of the structure. Dry Cladding can serve both a decorative and a functional purpose. It is used to complement the architectural style of the building while also offering protection from rain, wind, snow and other outside elements. The dry cladding method creates a cleft of around 30 to 45 mm (1"-1.5") in between face of the wall and Laminam covering.

ADVANTAGES

The dry cladding method is safe and it prevails the infill material (Laminam) from falling off for years

This method allow for expansion & contraction of Laminam in extreme weather conditions.

The appearance of Laminam used in dry cladding work looks pleasing & aesthetically designed.

It is a time saving procedure.

The dry cladding method creates a cleft of around 30 to 45 mm (1"-1.5") in between face of the wall and Laminam covering, providing a layer of air cushion that acts as a thermal barrier.

STEP BY STEP
PROCEDURE

Step - 01 Calculate The Material Requirement

Before starting with the installation procedure you first need to calculate the area where you want to clad. You can calculate by simply measuring its length and breadth and then multiplying it. This would help you get an estimated amount of material for the cladding.

Step - 02 Selection of Materials

The brackets must be made of Aluminium/ Galvanized MS. The dimensions of the brackets and their Anchor depends on its type as listed in Table- 1.

Step - 03 Site Preparation

  • Clean all the dirt and unwanted material from the surface of the application wall.
  • If the wall is constructed freshly make sure it is properly dried up and the surface is not friable so that the anchor could be firmly fixed in the hole drilled.

Step - 04 Installation Method

  • Dry cladding structure frame must be equally projected from building lines, so maintain line and level with the help of laser instrument or manual method. Dry cladding frame attached directly to Building/ civil work in large/ small panels which Span one or more stories or bays.
    Standard extruded aluminium tubes are used for making back- up frame structure. They are lightweight, non-corrosive and recyclable in nature, have high strength-to-weight ratio and come in raw finish and diverse colours.
  • Accurately locate the position of the hole for Al. L-type bracket fixing (25x38x2.5- 50 mm long).
  • Hold the Aluminium vertical members- 38x25x1.5 mm (as per architect design) with the help of L-type Aluminium brackets (25x38x2.5- 50 mm long).
  • Connect vertical tubes with the help of horizontal RHS tubes (minimum size) 38x25X1.2 mm and SS Screws. This will look like an Aluminium mesh structure.
  • Applying 3M double side VHB tape at the edges of front face of fraing structure.
  • Filling structural sealant in the gap double adhesive tapes.
  • Peel-off the top removable protection from the double side tapes.
  • Place the first Laminam tile on structural Sealant & VHB tape, leaving a clear gap at least 3mm between every two laminam tiles.
  • Apply masking tape at both open edges of the Laminam.
  • Filling weather sealant in joints of the Laminam.
  • Remove masking tape after filling the weather sealant and leave for curing (24-48 hrs.)
