Summary - Draft 1
According
to the article “Use of Cladding in Buildings Here Have Grown in Recent Times”,
Faris Mokhtar (2017), cladding is used to make buildings more sustainable but
also poses new challenges. Cladding enhances the appearance of a building, blocking of noise,
providing rain protection and an insulation for the buildings while it poses as a fire
hazard. Application of cladding varies with climate. In colder climates
such as London, cladding is filled with thermal insulation while in hotter
climates such as Singapore, an extra facade layer is added to provide shading. In
Singapore, SCDF has been involved in annual fire safety inspection. Cladding poses
more as an advantage as long as fire safety inspection are done annually.
