Standard thicknesses for exterior wall cladding.

Wall cladding exterior covers a range of thicknesses to accommodate various requirements, with 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm the most commonly requested for both commercial and residential structures. Each thickness is suitable for a given building height, wind load, and design criteria. Luckybond manufactures wall cladding for all thickness criteria, meeting the needs for all exterior applications, and offering the most cladding design options for construction needs.

Appropriate thickness for low rise external walls

Lightweight and thin wall systems are used for low rise constructions like shops, offices and houses. 3-4 millimeters is sufficient for safety and decorative purposes. This wall cladding thickness is economical and easier to work with for small to medium projects. Luckybond suggests 3-4 millimeters of wall cladding for low rise external applications. The wall cladding is cost effective and provides the needed performance for these types of buildings.

Appropriate thickness for high rise external walls

For tall buildings and composite facades, low rise wall cladding thickness does not provide the needed resistance to strong winds and structural stability. For these types of constructions, wall cladding thickness of 5-6 millimeters is more appropriate as thicker wall cladding units provide enhanced strength and resistance to deformation. Luckybond provides high strength wall cladding of 5 and 6 millimeters for high rise projects. Such wall cladding complies with the high safety standards needed for tall exterior constructions.

Factors Influencing the Selection of the Thickness of Wall Cladding

The selection of the thickness of wall cladding is influenced by the height of the building, climate, local conditions, construction, design, and the method of installation. For exterior applications, wall cladding must be professionally calculated considering wind pressure, temperature changes, and earthquake resistance. Luckybond gives wall cladding guidance. After correct selection of wall cladding, the wall cladding will be safe and stable.
