Cladding on buildings aims to protect the building's structure from wear and tear of natural elements like wind, sun, and rain. It also offers other benefits like insulation and noise control and improves the external look and enhances its appeal.

At Zapcorp, we are a diversified cladding service firm in Melbourne. We offer materials for external cladding in Melbourne that are strong, durable, waterproof, and capable of withstanding the damaging elements for the long haul such as Metal (Steel & Aluminium), Tiles, Timber, Stone, Brick, Glass, and Vinyl cladding for both residential and commercial properties.

More than just giving an aesthetically pleasing look to your buildings, cladding provides far more significant benefits. Cladding improves any building's mechanical strength by offering a protective layer for it to weather a range of natural elements. Cladding incorporated buildings are more resistant to cracks that occur due to temperature or changes in climate, less prone to water absorption, with an ability to resist the harmful effects of UV rays and other pollutants when compared to non-cladded buildings.

Cladding is a protective layer that is suitable for all surfaces, such as fibro, weatherboard, timber, corrugated iron, cement blocks, brick etc. External cladding by Zapcorp is done using a variety of materials, in many sizes and shapes to suit your design requirements and styling. Cladding materials include timber, vinyl, glass, metal, tiles and stones. We evaluate which external cladding material is the best choice for your unique building project.

On average external cladding takes about 3-5 days. However, based on the material, size of the exterior surfaces, heights involved, each project timeline varies. We'll discuss it beforehand when we offer you a FREE consultation and estimates.

Cladding renovations were carried out as exempt development (no planning or building approval required), but amendments have been made. The Regulations and requirements vary from one state to another, and it is best advised to check with your local council to make sure that re-cladding your home is compliant with what’s needed in your area.

We at Zapcorp are a professional cladding company, and any payment details will be discussed beforehand, and with your confirmation, we will add the payment schedule to the contract. Generally, the first payment will be due when we deliver the materials needed for Cladding to the site, and the final payment is due after the project completion.
