An external application of new materials or finishes to masonry wall or dry wall to produce modified effect for enhanced beauty, protection and control from radiation, absorption in an inner partition or exterior siding of a building. These include different finishes, covering, paneling, and cladding.
Wall finishes: These are sealants like plasters and paints that cover exterior and interior walls to enhance appearance or camouflage the structural defects and protect surface from moisture.
Wall Coverings: These are surface coverings specific to interiors to produce plain or textured effect with wood laminates, self adhesive films, wallpaper, fiber wall, fabric, cork, ceramic tile, mirror and wood paneling. These vary in cost, suitability, maintenance, durability, degree of light absorption or reflection, degree of heat-cold insulation, and the newest trends in decorating walls.
Wall paneling is a surface covering done with pieces of flat wooden slats cut into a rectangular shape, laid along the wall that serves as the visible and exposed covering for a wall. Wall panels are functional as well as decorative, providing insulation and soundproofing, combined with uniformity of appearance, along with some measure of durability or ease of replaceability
Wall cladding is a non-structural treatment that covers a portion or total wall of building exteriors and interiors for functional or decorative reasons. This can include a degree of water-proofing, a barrier against the wind, or other protections. Cladding can take a number of different forms, be made from many different materials, and is often used to create a decorative building facade. Some of the popular materials for cladding include various metals, stone, and composite sidings.
