Important Considerations When Buying Exterior Wall Panels

Exterior wall panels play a significant role in improving a property’s curb appeal, among a range of other benefits that they bring to the table. Apart from aesthetics, there are various other things that must be considered when buying exterior wall panels for a residential or commercial property. Resistance to external factors such as heat, wind, and rain, for instance, is an important factor to consider when buying exterior wall panels as it impacts the overall structural integrity and longevity of the underlying walls. NewMika FX is also fire retardant, which ensures the safety of people and property. In this post, we are going to list some of the most important factors one must consider when buying exterior wall panels.

You also need to ensure that the wall panels you choose offer protection against harsh climatic conditions, and are resistant to stains, scratches, and surface abrasion. Also, make sure that they offer unique features/benefits such as anti-graffiti, fire retardancy, UV resistance, and energy efficiency.

2. Ease of Installation

Wall panels should be easy to install. This not only helps save the time and effort that goes into installing external wall panels, but also helps reduce the installation costs. In fact, one of the reasons why designers and architects prefer laminate wall panels is because they are fairly easy to install for experienced professionals who have all the necessary tools, including a fabricator 

3. Ease of Maintenance

It is important to look for exterior wall panel material that is easy to maintain. Exterior grade compact panels, for instance, require minimal maintenance. They are resistant to dirt, dust, and stains, and all one needs to maintain their original sheen is to periodically wipe them with a soft cloth. NewMika FX also boasts anti-graffiti properties, meaning that in the event of any vandalization or graffiti, they can be easily cleaned. HPL exterior wall panels are also resistant to UV rays, which means they don’t fade because of exposure to sunlight.

4. Quality Certifications

The next important consideration when looking for clads for your exterior facade is their compliance with domestic and international quality standards. For instance, NewMika’s exterior wall panels come with BS1DO fire rating that ensures resistance to fire. Besides, they are also CSN EN 438-2 certified, which is testament to their superior resistance to climatic shock and UV light.
