Discusses the process of overcladding, assessing economic and social factors, and the various physical problems it can remedy. Explores the desirable features of overcladding, highlighting water resistance, K value, fire resistance, high vapour permeability, dimensional stability, impact resistance, adjustability, low weight, ease of cleaning and maintenance, experienced installers and good appearance. Outlines the various factors for success, and stresses the necessity of creating a breathing fabric to alleviate condensation problems.
