Transforming facades: How pre-painted steel is redefining cladding solutions for modern architecture

Cladding, which provides the outer skin or layer of the building, is a critical component of a facade system. A variety of materials can be used for cladding applications, including wood, stone and concrete, but one of the most popular and advantageous is steel. However, while steel cladding offers durability, strength and fire resistance, traditional solutions have their own unique set of challenges.
