The Tangential Benefits Of Cladding Systems
Cladding systems are a popular way to keep your external walls clean and protected from the elements which makes them extremely valuable in a country with a harsh environment like Australia. However, that is not the only benefit that you can get from your cladding systems even though that alone would likely be worth the cost of installation. If you are trying to decide whether or not you can afford to put the money upfront to install a cladding system here are a few extra incentives that you may not have considered.
Pest Repellant
Cladding systems are generally made out of a few common materials that work quite well at providing an additional layer of protection against pests. This includes:
- Metals like steel, iron and aluminium (or an alloy of these metals and something else)
- Treated timber that is resistant to burrowing
- Plastic or vinyl
- Glass
- Brick
When it comes to pests in Australia like termites, possums, rats and snakes they generally look for a simple entrance into a shelter. If they can't find one quickly or easily they move on unless absolutely forced to keep looking. Cladding systems make your home very unattractive for pets of all shapes and sizes and give you better peace of mind so you can sleep soundly.
Noise Cancellation
Cladding systems are popular forms of insulation for heat but what is less considered is that these same insulative properties stop the spread of sound as well. If you are in a quiet neighbourhood or get a lot of noise complaints then installing cladding can help vastly minimise your overall sound footprint and stop those complaints. While it doesn't guarantee that you will make no noise it does ensure that noise is dampened and far less likely to carry on as far as it would.
Property Value
Cladding systems might seem like they cost a lot but all of this value is not lost once you spend it initially. That money is invested into the house and, if you choose to sell or rent later on, will be paid back, often with interest. Many people do not think of cladding systems as investments like other home additions such as pools, extra bathrooms and attic space, but essentially they do the same thing. They create a more full product and, when done well, provide a great return on investment. In the meantime, you get to have the cladding you always wanted and can enjoy it with confidence.
