Internal Wall Cladding Installation

Here is a good example of internal wall cladding by ANGLES PLASTICS Company in UK


Hamilton Hill, near Fremantle WA, AUSTRALIA.

* Rammed limestone feature walls (like rammed earth, but using crushed limestone rubble)

* Reverse-brick-veneer walls. The interior leaf is brickwork, then a cavity, then a timber frame, then the external cladding. Some of the cladding is cedar, some is cement fibre.

* Greywater system

* Rainwater harvesting

Reverse Brick Veneer

This is a thermally dynamic form of construction. It has the advantages of the aesthetics of a framed home and improved thermal efficiency over double brick. The mass of the brickwork moderates the internal temperature while the external lining provides the waterproofing to the home. Insulation between the external wall and the brickwork, and the ability of the lining not to store heat, ensures the internal brickwork does not have the external heat or cold transmitted internally. This allows the mass brickwork to better moderate internal temperatures without the impacts of the external weather conditions.
