External Wall Cladding Singapore: Safety and Installation Guide
External wall cladding is widely used in Singapore for both residential and commercial buildings.
Proper installation is critical to ensure safety and long-term durability.
What Is External Wall Cladding?
Cladding refers to the installation of materials such as:
- Stone panels
- Sintered tiles
- Large-format slabs
These are installed on building exteriors for protection and aesthetics.
Why Mechanical Fixing Is Important
In Singapore’s environment, relying on adhesive alone may not be sufficient.
Mechanical fixing systems:
- Secure panels physically
- Improve safety against detachment
