Artificial grass wall
Artificial grass wall - plant walls, living walls or vertical gardens)
Artificial Green Wall is a wall covered with artificial plant. It is a material made by weaving synthetic fibers on a firm
polypropylene or latex base to give a real look like natural grass.
Artificial Green walls have become a rising new trend of built environments in recent years. The artificial grass is used
as a replacement for the natural grass in the interior and exterior area, as they are having added advantages over real grass.

Where we can use artificial grass?

Artificial grass can be used in all types of buildings like residential, commercial, industrial, and public utility buildings as a
replacement for natural grass to decorate the exterior and a certain part of the building's interior.

Interior :
They are used to cover the balcony, terrace, gym center, indoor stadium, walls, over-tile skirting, patio, etc.

Exterior :
Artificial grass is used in lawns, landscaping the garden, outdoor stadiums, as a carpet in the swimming pool periphery, exterior
walls, backyard, etc.

Aluminium Composite panel
Aluminum composite panel is one of the widely used cladding material. Due to its lightweight nature and flexibility, it can be
easily installed. An aluminum composite panel is a building material that features a foam core surrounded by an outer
aluminum skin.
.
Where it can be use for?
•High dimensional stability- the composite panel does not present deformations in its dimensioning, The material remains
stable whatever its size without losing its properties
Fully recyclable - panel can be fully recycled and reused.
Light as a feather - The low density of aluminum makes it the ideal material for facades

The Cons of Aluminum Composite Panel

Water-Resistant - Proper waterproofing has to be done; otherwise, panels may become weak against rain and humidity.
Less Fire Resistant - They have less resistance against fire and may burn in extreme cases of fire. However, nowadays fire-
rated panels are available which are chemically treated.
Resistance against Ultra – Violet Rays- Aluminum composite panels do not have good resistance against UV rays hence
fading of color occurs after a certain period of time.
Storms and hurricanes They are susceptible to sent during storms and hurricanes

Aluminum cladding
Aluminum cladding is cladding that is created using a thin coating of aluminum on the exterior of the product. Cladding
in general is the application of one type of substance or material over a different material, effectively creating a
protective layer on the underlying material.

The Pros of Aluminum Cladding

It is available in different sizes, shapes, and finishes.
It is a good option for basement or storage walls. It can be even applied to the walls of large commercial buildings after treatment.
It is a low-weight material, and therefore its installation is easy too.
It does not require much maintenance either.
It is a flexible option and can be easily bent into any shape, thus even an arch can be formed with the help of aluminum cladding.
It can be recycled and reused. Thus, it is eco-friendly too.

CURTAIN WALLS.
The exterior of a building is important for the structural integrity of the building. Curtain walls is one of the ways to protect your
building from harsh outdoor elements. Unlike other building materials, a curtain wall system is thin and lightweight, usually
aluminum and glass. These walls are not structural, and by design, they are only able to carry their own weight, while transferring
the load of wind and gravity to the structure of the building. The design makes it air and water resistant, to ensure that the interior
of the building remains airtight.

 CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
Many projects can take time from conception to completion. Co-ordination between the architect and engineer in the early design stage is important
to ensure the choice of cladding works well and compliments the type of structure used, e.g curtain wall is matched correctly to the building structure
and anticipated wind loads. . The effect of knowledge on various ways or techniques on how to enclose a building has been tackled in early years but
with the help of technological changes towards industrial revolution invented new techniques of a building cladding. The new techniques were quick
and easy to cover up a building. Light prefabricated materials were used for the construction such as Fibers, aluminum panels and woods etc. The
curtain wall system was constructed in a way that it carried no weight other than its own weight but encloses the building structure. In spite of the
curtain wall, some techniques were made for installation of the curtain wall system. The curtain wall type with different installation processes included
the stick type, unitized type, panelized type, spandrel panel type, structural sealant type and structural glazing type. Aluminum composite panels
However even with advances in technology where it has become more diverse and offers a range of finishes new materials often prove better than it
as a choice for public buildings, such as sports centers. However by coupling it with a timber cladding system the two systems will interact and
complement each other creating a building with a modern yet natural look to it, especially in concrete buildings that are often bulky and bland
looking.
Summer (Hot and Dry):
Terracotta: Terracotta cladding offers excellent insulation properties, keeping the interiors cool during hot summers. It is durable and has a natural
aesthetic appeal.
Fiber Cement: Fiber cement cladding is resistant to heat and can withstand harsh sunlight. It helps in maintaining a cooler indoor environment.
Monsoon (Wet and Humid):
UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride): UPVC cladding is water-resistant, making it ideal for monsoon seasons. It prevents water penetration and
helps protect the building from moisture damage.
Fiber Cement: Fiber cement cladding is also suitable for monsoon as it is resistant to water, rot, and fungal growth.
Winter (Cool to Cold):
Stone Veneer: Stone veneer cladding provides excellent insulation during colder months and helps in retaining heat indoors. It adds a natural and
rustic look to the building.
Brick: Brick cladding is a good option for winter as it has high thermal mass, which means it absorbs heat during the day and releases it slowly at
night, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors.
