How do you do wall cladding?

Installing aluminum wall cladding involves a systematic process to ensure durability and performance. First, assess and prepare the structural substrate—ensuring flatness, stability, and waterproof membranes where required. Next, install vertical or horizontal aluminum subframe rails, anchored to primary structure with thermal-break brackets to prevent heat transfer. The rainscreen cavity must be consistent in width to allow proper ventilation. Weather barriers—breathable membranes—are applied behind rails to block moisture. Custom-fabricated aluminum panels, pre-finished with anodizing or powder coat, are then mounted using concealed clip systems or through-fixing depending on design. Seams are sealed with high-performance gaskets or sealants to prevent water ingress. Finally, panels are inspected for alignment, and trim details like corners and edges are finished with matching aluminum flashings. Proper sealing and drainage paths guarantee long-term system integrity.
