Why Choose Porcelain Cladding?
1. Durability and Longevity
Porcelain cladding is exceptionally durable and can withstand various weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and moisture. This durability ensures a long lifespan, making it a cost-effective choice for building exteriors.
2. Low Maintenance
One of the key advantages of porcelain cladding is its low maintenance requirement. It resists stains, mould, and mildew, and does not require sealing. Regular cleaning with water and mild detergent is usually sufficient to keep it looking new.
3. Aesthetic Appeal
Porcelain cladding offers a wide range of design possibilities. It is available in various colours, textures, and finishes, including options that mimic natural stone, wood, or metal. This versatility allows architects and designers to create visually stunning and unique building facades.
4. Water Resistance
Porcelain cladding is non-porous, meaning it does not absorb water. This property makes it ideal for areas with high humidity or frequent rainfall, as it prevents water infiltration and reduces the risk of damage from freeze-thaw cycles.
5. Fire Resistance
Porcelain is a non-combustible material, providing excellent fire resistance. This makes it a safer option for building exteriors, as it can help prevent the spread of fire and provide additional protection to the structure.
6. Environmental Benefits
Porcelain cladding is an environmentally friendly option. It is made from natural raw materials and can be recycled at the end of its life. Additionally, its long lifespan and low maintenance requirements contribute to a reduced environmental impact over time.
7. Thermal Efficiency
Porcelain cladding can improve a building's thermal efficiency. It acts as an additional layer of insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling.
8. Resistance to Fading
The colours and patterns in porcelain cladding are fired into the material at high temperatures, making them highly resistant to fading. This ensures that the aesthetic appeal of the cladding remains intact for many years, even with prolonged exposure to sunlight.
9. Scratch and Impact Resistance
Porcelain is known for its hardness and resistance to scratches and impacts. This makes porcelain cladding a durable choice that can withstand the wear and tear of daily life and maintain its appearance over time.
10. Versatility in Application
Porcelain cladding can be used for a variety of applications, including exterior walls, facades, and even interior feature walls. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings. Application is made further straightforward as you only need a strong adhesive to ensure placement.
How to Maintain Porcelain Cladding
Taking care of porcelain cladding is relatively simple due to its durability and low maintenance requirements. Here are some steps and tips to ensure your porcelain cladding remains in top condition:
1. Regular Cleaning
Routine Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris from the surface of the cladding regularly.
Water and Mild Detergent: For general cleaning, use warm water and a mild detergent. Gently scrub the surface with a soft brush or cloth, then rinse with clean water.
Pressure Washing: Occasionally, you can use a pressure washer on a low setting to clean the cladding, but avoid high pressure as it can damage the surface.
2. Stain Removal
Non-Abrasive Cleaners: If you encounter stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for porcelain surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the cladding.
Vinegar Solution: For tougher stains, a solution of water and white vinegar can be effective. Apply the solution, let it sit for a few minutes, and then scrub gently with a soft brush before rinsing thoroughly.
3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Tools
No Abrasive Tools: Avoid using abrasive pads, steel wool, or sandpaper, as they can scratch and damage the surface.
No Harsh Chemicals: Do not use acidic or highly alkaline cleaners, as they can damage the finish of the porcelain cladding.
4. Inspect for Damage
Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect the cladding for any signs of damage, such as cracks or chips. Early detection can prevent further damage and expensive repairs.
Repair Cracks and Chips: If you find any damage, repair it promptly to prevent water infiltration and further deterioration. Small chips can often be repaired with a porcelain repair kit.
5. Protect from Impact
Minimize Impact Risks: Be cautious of activities around the cladding that might cause impact damage. Avoid placing heavy objects directly against the cladding.
6. Weather Protection
Sealant Application: While porcelain is non-porous and typically doesn't need sealing, applying a high-quality sealant designed for porcelain can provide an extra layer of protection, especially in areas with extreme weather conditions.
Shielding from Harsh Conditions: If possible, provide some shielding from harsh weather conditions, such as direct, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight or heavy, driving rain.
7. Prevent Mould and Mildew
Ensure Proper Drainage: Make sure that there is proper drainage around the cladding to prevent water from pooling, which can lead to mould and mildew growth.
Clean Mould and Mildew Promptly: If you notice any mould or mildew, clean it promptly with a mixture of water and a small amount of bleach. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.
8. Seasonal Maintenance
Winter Care: In areas with freezing temperatures, inspect the cladding for any signs of damage after the winter season. Address any issues immediately to prevent long-term damage.
