The Use of Exterior Cladding Panels During Big Boom Construction Phases
PanelizatIon Emancipation
We have all seen the looming framed structures of scaffolding. Standing networks of bare steel frames, an intertwining artwork, built as a working platform for a cladding yet to be installed. For many years, this is how we clad our structures, in situ, a cycle of steel, cement, studs, scaffold, cladding, rinse and repeat until you reached the sky.
As any contractor can tell you, scaffolding is a labor-some form of construction. It’s sort of a project within a project, a structure, to build structure. It takes time and a professional crew to erect the said structures to be strong and safe for the part-time inhabitants. For a large part of our cladding construction, scaffold is really the only answer, the only option, unless you are an EIFS contractor.
