Whilst there are a few reasons why someone may want to re-clad, we generally don’t recommend going over existing cladding with a new system. Instead, the previous internal wall cladding needs to be deconstructed before a new system can be built.

Maintenance

If the reason behind your replacement cladding is for maintenance, we strongly recommend removing your existing system first. This is because damaged cladding will continue to rot (in cases of timber cladding) or impact overall performance behind the newly installed system. We also advise updating your workplace with uPVC cladding as, unlike timber systems, it won’t rot or sag when exposed to high humidity environments.

Appearance

To achieve your best commercial interior design, we advise starting your cladding structure from scratch. This will give you more freedom to construct your systems to suit a bespoke design, as well as remove thickness that can take away room depth.

Performance

Cladding over existing work can impact the performance of your system. For example, ventilation within a room will be impacted due to over-cladding. Whilst going over an existing structure might appear to be a cheap method, in the long run it could result in more expenses.
