What is dry wall cladding?
The technique of cladding involves putting an additional layer of skin to a wall to protect it from the elements. A range of materials, including wood, stone, aluminium, metal, ceramic, vinyl, etc., are utilised for cladding. We must be aware that there are two different types of cladding: dry cladding and wet cladding. Stone is installed using wet cladding. How about dry wall cladding, though?
A sort of cladding in which two different types of metal are combined to create a fusion welding is dry wall cladding or mechanical cladding. For example, marble and granite cladding is generally used for concrete walls, block work, masonry work etc.
Advantage
- Dry cladding is generally used for fixing steel clips, steel frames for installation purposes and for waterproofing silicone sealant.
- Dry cladding takes less time and it is a convenient method as you don’t need to grout if you dry clad.
- Gry cladding helps to avoid contamination of the stone dust present in the mortar.
Disadvantage
To do dry cladding the thickness of the mechanical stone panel should be at least 2.5cm. For dry cladding, a good and reliable processing method is required.
Applications
IQUBX dry stone cladding ready made room partition walls can be used to partition any interior. They find application in almost all kind of projects including offices, homes, hospitality projects like hotels, banquet halls, malls, hospitals, Institutions like schools and colleges as well as industry & any other project where high quality finish and time is valued.
This dry ready-made walls can be used in wet areas like kitchens and toilets as well as dry areas like rooms and halls. Being modular in nature they can be installed and removed easily, therefore, they are ideal for temporary extension structures. The same structure can later be used elsewhere.
Features and advantages
- Strong and robust with no maintenance
- Modular and customized application with very high wall construction possibility
- Long life cycle – can typically last the lifetime of a building
- Fast installation. Five to eight times faster. Easy to control the construction progress
- Combinative non-messy dry construction – clean, dry and dust free work environment
- The dry cladding method is safe and it prevents the stone from falling off for years. This method allow for expansion and contraction of stone in extreme weather conditions
- Good vibration absorbing ability. Suit buildings on seismic belt
- Fast reconstruction for easy assembling and dismantling
- Filling acoustic sound insulation can enhance the sound-proof ability
- Electric wires and plumbing services etc are hidden in the wall but can be accessed easily with removable panels
- Light weight systems – 8 to 10 times lighter than conventional systems like Brick / Block work. This can reduce the overall weight and cost of the building structure
- Flexibility in terms of modifications and refurbishment in future. It is 100% reusable.
- Excellent fire resistive ability. Suit residuals and public places
- Green and recyclable product
