How to Install Aluminum Cladding?

Aluminum cladding has become a popular choice for residential and commercial projects due to its durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. If you're planning to enhance the exterior of your building with this material, here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure a successful installation.​

1. Preparation​
First, measure the area where you plan to install the aluminum cladding accurately. This helps you determine the quantity of materials needed. At Zhongchang Aluminum, we offer a wide range of custom wood grain aluminum cladding profiles, including the highly sought-after AkzoNobel wood grain finish. Our profiles not only add a natural wood-like charm but also come with an outdoor warranty of 15 - 20 years without fading, ensuring long-lasting beauty.​

2. Framing​
Install a sub-structure or framing system. Commonly, metal or wooden battens are used, fixed horizontally or vertically depending on the design. Make sure the battens are level and securely attached to the wall, as a stable frame is crucial for the overall installation.​

3. Cutting and Fitting​
Carefully cut the aluminum cladding panels according to your measurements. Our aluminum cladding at Zhongchang Aluminum can be precisely customized to your specific requirements during the production process. This reduces on-site cutting work and ensures a perfect fit.​

4. Installation​
Attach the aluminum cladding panels to the framing using appropriate fasteners, such as screws or clips. Start from the bottom or one side and work your way up or across, making sure each panel is properly aligned and tightened.​

5. Finishing Touches​
After all the panels are installed, check for any gaps or unevenness. Apply sealants at joints if necessary to enhance weather resistance. With Zhongchang Aluminum’s high-quality cladding, you can enjoy a low - maintenance exterior that will stand the test of time.​
