THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF METAL WALL CLADDING MALAYSIA

The Malaysian architectural landscape has undergone a remarkable transformation over the years and prominent trends in metal wall cladding have gained traction, especially in metal roofing and metal walling. 

Wall cladding commonly revolves around applying metal panels onto the exterior of building surfaces which doubles as both a protective barrier and decorative covering. While adding depth, texture, and visual fixations to the building, metal wall cladding exudes a modern and sophisticated appearance, breaking away from traditional boxy and flat outlooks. Such an offering is only one of many key benefits provided by wall cladding.

Creating Striking Facades

Contemporary metal facades are a means to captivating designs through combining metal profiles, colours, and finishings. Architects can now be more expressive in creating visual contrasts and injecting personality into buildings. An amazing example is the SkyArena Sports Complex in Kuala Lumpur which features domineering vertical wall claddings using the KAWA NS450 Standing Seam profile under the standing seam series. Its concealed fix method allows edges to be hidden under the disguise of subtle stripes and presented elegantly in darker hues of COLORBOND® steel  – Volcanic Grey colour.

Such a combination is one of the thousands with COLORBOND® steel’s vast range of colours, offered in solid, metallic, matt, and even textured, the possibilities are simply endless. 

Meeting Thermal & Acoustic Requirements

Where temperature and acoustic regulations in Malaysia are crucial, metal cladding comes in full roofing system solutions where insulation materials can be incorporated underneath the roofs to enhance a building’s energy efficiency and heat transfer. The solution is designed to also cater to acoustic requirements for more living spaces such as homes, theatres, and airports. The solutions are customisable based on building types; hence we urge you to speak to our experts to devise a suitable solution for your project.

Durable and requiring minimal maintenance

Delving into a sweet point for building owners, metal claddings are exceptionally long-lasting and require minimal maintenance, an ideal trait to avoid disrupting activities around the building. Its longevity is attributed to characteristics of COLORBOND® steel which are tested and proven across many of the world’s harsh environments, offering excellent performance in colour stability and corrosion resistance.

Suitable Building Applications

Metal claddings have various traits to offer for different types of projects. Fundamentally, longevity and durability are in play especially when designing functional buildings such as warehouses or factories, where the assets within the building require protection.

As for the visual appeal, commercial spaces and residential projects benefit greatly as the contemporary look of metal cladding creates an eye-catching façade that could attract customers or homebuyers.

Not forgetting unique structures such as airports, and train stations that require exceptional roofing performance; the right roofing solutions could be provided to meet thermal and acoustic requirements and benefit from its low maintenance characteristics.
