Cladding of Buildings 12

Cladding of Buildings

Description The term ‘cladding’ refers to components that are attached to the primary structure of a building to form non-structural, external surfaces. This is as opposed to buildings in which the external surfaces are formed by structural elements, such as masonry walls, or applied surfaces such as render. Building Safety Fund for the remediation of
