<\/p>\n
When we speak of tiles, the options, the types and the styles of tiles are limitless. The diverse choices are even more diverse now that the tiles are available as area-specific too. One such type is called Cladding tiles.<\/p>\n
What are cladding tiles?<\/h2>\n
A lot of us may still not be aware of what cladding tiles mean and what their uses are. Cladding tiles are used as a layer on top of the existing materials for walls, both interior and exterior that protect the spaces from weather changes, moisture and dampness. Cladding tiles are made up of ceramic or vitrified material. These tiles are made to be super durable to endure the harsh weather that they may face.<\/p>\n
Types of wall cladding:<\/h3>\n
Wall cladding is done in different ways using different materials. Thanks to the technological advancements that have taken place over years we have been able to add various options to the list of wall cladding.<\/p>\n
Natural Stone Cladding:<\/h4>\n
Natural stone cladding is done using natural stones like slates, sandstones, marble, granite, limestone and quartzite, to name a few. The natural look that this kind of cladding gives makes the spaces look welcoming and beautiful. This kind of cladding can be done either on a concrete or a steel surface. The cost of natural stone cladding may differ from stone to stone.<\/p>\n

Brick Cladding:<\/h4>\n
Cladding bricks are made from lightweight material. These materials come in various colours and offer complete protection from exposure. The brick cladding has a natural density that does not allow it to fracture or degrade. It also has thermal insulation properties which help in maintaining a comfortable temperature within the spaces.<\/p>\n

Wood Cladding:<\/h4>\n
Wood has continued to be a preferred choice in cladding because it bears the most aesthetically pleasing cladding materials. The most common of them all, timber cladding is installed in long, narrow boards that can be put up horizontally, vertically or diagonally and each style can represent a unique ornamental finish, which is beautiful.<\/p>\n

Cladding Tiles:<\/h4>\n
Cladding tiles, which are the most widely used in most homes, are most commonly seen in the exteriors, but nowadays are also becoming very popular to be used in the interior walls as well. Tiles are water resistant and they offer great durability to weather exposure and keep the walls safe, whilst making them look great with their innumerable, gorgeous designs.<\/p>\n

Exterior Wall Cladding Tiles Options:<\/h3>\n
For most of us, only what is inside the house matters, so we put all our energies into making the interiors spectacular and flawless. When it comes to the exterior, more often than not, we settle with a coat of exterior wall paint. But if we only realise that by cladding the walls of our exteriors, we are not only creating value by enhancing the aesthetics of the house, but by also safeguarding them against the harsh consequences of weather and giving them a long, healthy life.<\/p>\n
