Material properties

Plastic cladding — often using brand names like Keralit or similar systems — is dimensionally stable, requires no painting, and is available in a limited range of standard colours. Beneath the cladding sits a ventilating and water-resistant layer.

Voordelen
  • Low maintenance, no painting required
  • Good water resistance
  • Sleek appearance
Nadelen
  • Limited colour choice, often only RAL colours from the factory palette
  • If damaged, replacing entire panel sections is usually necessary
  • Sensitive to thermal expansion; correct detailing is required
