The hardness of stones is ideal for external walls as it provides strength and durability against weather changes. Requires no cleaning or maintenance, stone walls are considered one of the best options for external walls. However, they are slightly more expensive than other exterior walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brick cladding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-B-30-08-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"brick wall cladding\" class=\"wp-image-98126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-B-30-08-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-B-30-08-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-B-30-08-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-B-30-08-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-B-30-08-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-B-30-08.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>It gives a traditional and classic look to your abode<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Provides good insulation, brick cladding presents a classic, traditional and elegant look to the house. Available in a variety of colours, you can arrange bricks in a way that it creates interesting patterns for your abode. They are considered energy-efficient, weatherproof, secure and sustainable building material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Concrete cladding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-D-30-08-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"concrete wall cladding\" class=\"wp-image-98123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-D-30-08-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-D-30-08-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-D-30-08-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-D-30-08-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-D-30-08-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Exterior-Wall-Cladding-D-30-08.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Concrete wall cladding gives an ultra-modern look to your house<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Concrete cladding offers several benefits. It can insulate, provide protection against fire and noise pollution. In the traditional grey and white colours, concrete is quite easy to maintain and requires zero maintenance. The grey colour hides away any dirt or dust, which means you don\u2019t need to worry about frequently cleaning the exterior concrete wall cladding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vinyl cladding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vinyl cladding is low-cost and versatile, making it one of the most popular options. It is made up of a mix of PVC and other materials. Once installed, you don\u2019t need to paint or maintain them. They hardly ever fade or crack and can take a battering from the weather, withstand torrential rains without affecting their appearance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stucco<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stucco is dried plaster that is used to decorate a sculpture or in false ceilings and in various architectural forms. Stucco structures look aesthetically pleasing and can withstand sudden climatic changes. They can last for more than 50 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tiles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the pros of having a tile cladding is that you can play with colours and totally change the appearance of your house. Combine various sizes and colours to give a polished and refined look to your abode. Make sure the size of the tiles you choose is proportional to the overall building mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Aluminum cladding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common exterior wall cladding is the aluminum one. It has a shiny finish, best suited to give a chic modern look to your abode. If you have bought an old house and want to completely change the outlook then go for aluminum wall cladding. They are not only easy to maintain but can completely change an old, tired house into a new one. Moreover, they resist moisture and so you don\u2019t have to worry about mold and mildew. Fire is also not a threat in aluminum cladding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this blog will help you choose the right exterior wall cladding for your home.
