PRANCE metalwork is a leading manufacturer of metal ceiling and facade systems.
In construction, cladding refers to non-structural material layers applied over a building’s frame or substrate to create a protective and insulative skin. Its primary functions include weatherproofing—shielding against rain, wind, and UV—enhancing thermal resistance, and providing fire performance. Aluminum cladding systems, composed of extruded or composite panels, have become staples due to their lightweight nature, ease of fabrication, and recyclable character. When integrated into ceilings or facades, aluminum panels attach via concealed fixing systems, enabling seamless surfaces without visible screws or rivets. This concealed system not only contributes to a minimalist aesthetic but also facilitates drainage and ventilation behind panels, preventing moisture accumulation. Aluminum’s corrosion resistance ensures longevity, while customizable finishes align with branding and architectural style.
