How To Protect Building With Corian Cladding

In building construction, the cladding is used to provide a shield against the weather. The materials used may be a combination of metals, aluminum, or plastic. This material is most commonly applied and installed around windows, doors, roofs, and chimneys where rain water is more likely to penetrate into the interiors and exteriors.

Cladding provides a stunning high-performance envelope for a new development or can upgrade, enhance and transform existing buildings, offices and homes. Versatile, long-lasting and energy-saving Corian® cladding systems are designed and produced to meet the most demanding aesthetic and functional requirements. The panels are available in many sizes and can be curved providing architects and their clients with endless design opportunities.

Dupont Corian is an advanced mineral filled acrylic material with homogeneous color throughout, offering a distinctive finish and a fascinating interaction with the light. Whatever the nature of project multiple or a single storey, minimal or decorative, curved or angular, DuPont Corian cladding complete creative freedom.

It is done in one of the following ways.

  • Cladding that is made of impermeable materials is used so that rain water can only access the building through joints. Properly designed joints with sealant can completely keep out the rain infiltration.
  • Cladding that is made up of porous material (bricks) absorbs rain during rainfall and subsequently dries out. Water will not be able to enter the building if the cladding is of sufficient thickness with low permeability.
