2.       Enhanced Appearance: Cladding can significantly alter the appearance of a building, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and giving it a distinct style or architectural character. It allows for creativity in design and can be customized to achieve different looks and textures.

3.       Durability and Structural Support: Cladding can improve the durability and structural integrity of a building by protecting it from wear and tear, moisture, corrosion, and environmental factors. In some cases, it may also provide additional support to the underlying structure.
