Ood Cladding: Submitted By: Komal Lakhyani Nehal Jain Priyansh Agarwal Priyansh Jain Mayank Sinha

Wood cladding is a facing material fixed to walls to provide protection, aesthetics, and improved thermal performance. Common wood types used are Ipe and Thermo Pine, which vary in hardness, size, thickness, and cost. Installation involves preparing the wall surface, attaching battens, sanding and finishing cladding boards, then fixing them to the battens. Proper design considers using different types of battens to maintain ventilation and support. Timber cladding provides benefits like lightweight construction and sustainable materials, but requires maintenance due to weathering and fire risk factors.

appeal to the building.
 Well designed & properly installed cladding can
also help to maximise thermal performance.
WOODS USED IN CLADDING:

 Hardwood having high density
 Width- 70mm,90mm,125mm,140mm,145mm

 Length-900mm-1800mm(3-6ft)

 Thickness- 20mm,25mm

 Cost- Rs. 600/sqft

 USES- for exterior cladding

 Shapes and Sizes varies

 Cost- Rs. 500/sqft

 Length – 3-6ft

 Width-3.5-6.5ft

 Treatment- Thermo @ 410degreeF - 450degreeF
 Deadwood- POLISH- UV coating

 Used for both interior and exterior cladding

 Other uses- Door and Window frames,flooring,

 Disadvantage- More chances of Shrinkage and


swelling due to change in moisture level.
3.THERMO ASH:

•Softwood
•Shapes and sizes varies
•Treatment-Thermo@410degreeF -
450degreeF
•Used for exterior and interior cladding.
•Cost-Rs. 700/sqft
4. HIGH PRESSURE LAMINATE
(H.P.L.)
 Sheet size - 8'x4',10'x4'
 Thickness-6mm
 Installation-Through Alluminium Channels
 Cost - 350/Sqft,650/sqft
 It is made up of multiple layer of kraftpaper.
 Used for exterior cladding.
 Other uses- Table top, flooring, Furniture
 Advantage- Helps in chemical and fire resistance
5.WOOD PLASTIC COMPONENT(W.P.C.)

 60% Wood and 40% Plastic


 Pre-polished
 Cost- Rs.350-400/sqft
 Used for exterior cladding
INSTALLATION PROCESS:

 Dealing with the electrical fittings.


 Choosing the cladding.

Before beginning:
 Unwrap timber & lie it flat on side. Store in a
room for two weeks before installing it.
 Remove skirting and rails.

 If plaster is crumbly, then remove it completely


with a chisel.
 If you need to re route any plumbing,do it before
fixing the cladding.
 Attach battens to the wall.
•Preparing the cladding
Sanding and applying finish to the cladding.
Apply two coats of finish to the front and back of the boards
to help prevent the timber distorted.
• Fixing the cladding
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Battens in cladding system are of 3 types:
 Cladding battens: Support the cladding
 Cladding counter battens: Vertical battens
needed to maintain cavity ventilation .
 Secondary battens: Support the cladding battens
& mainly located in the insulation zone.
ADVANTAGES OF TIMBER CLADDING

 It does not increase the wall thickness.


 It is lightweight, so it does not increase load on
existing walls, foundations.
 Wide range of visual options .

 It can be coated or left to weather naturally.

 Wood is a sustainable material that can improve


the environmental rating of a building.
DISADVANTAGES OF TIMBER CLADDING
 Weather issues
 Fire danger

 Colour fades (in exterior)
