What are the advantages of plastic cladding?

If you opt for a wall cladding with a wood look, it can hardly be seen from a distance that it is not a natural material. The plastic cladding also requires significantly less maintenance because it no longer needs to be painted or re-plastered. The structural fabric of the wall is preserved as the panels are hung in front of the wall and thus ventilated from the rear.

The elements get their high stability from braced cavities. As a result, the weight of the individual panels is rather low. The fastening or connecting elements are already integrated, which makes processing much easier.

What are the plastic sheets made of?

Are available Panels made of PVC and glass fiber reinforced plastic. These materials are particularly light, UV-resistant and colourfast. The wood or stone look preferred for garden walls looks extremely realistic.

Are also common Fiber resin elements, which consist of cellulose, cement and special fibers to increase stability. The robust, weather-resistant and long-lasting material is mainly offered in large elements and visually blends in very well with modern gardens.

Wood-polymer materials look deceptively real. They consist of eighty percent wood and only twenty percent plastic. However, these panels can fade from the effects of the weather and are often susceptible to permafrost.

The assembly of the plastic panels

  • This is usually done on a slim substructure made of wood or aluminum.
  • This leaves an air gap between the wall and the cladding. The air can circulate and any moisture that has entered is removed.
  • The Beautification of the garden wall always according to the manufacturer's instructions. The procedure differs slightly here.

Tips
