A Picture of Perfection Gone Wrong
A newly constructed premium home. A luxury car gleaming in the driveway. All seemed flawless until a thunderous crash shattered the peace.
The home’s wooden façade cladding had come loose. Within seconds, entire panels collapsed, severely damaging the car below.
The reason?
Substandard material and faulty installation. No wind load testing. No proper locking system. A costly mistake that could’ve endangered lives.
This alarming real-world incident isn’t just about bad design; it’s a wake-up call for anyone involved in building or buying a home. Because when you compromise on cladding, you compromise on safety, credibility, and investment value.
Why Do Cladding Systems Fail?
Cladding isn’t just about making a building look good. It’s the first layer of defense against India’s harsh sun, heavy rains, pollution, and temperature swings.
So why do so many cladding systems fail within months?
- Low-Quality Materials: Cheap composites or wood swell, crack, and deteriorate quickly in heat and humidity.
- Poor Weather Resistance: Many products aren’t tested for UV, heat, or moisture resistance.
- Weak Fixing Systems: Loose or outdated fasteners cause panels to dislodge and fall.
- Zero Structural Testing: Most products skip wind load and pressure resistance tests.
Bottom line:
If the material isn’t tested and the fixing isn’t secure, the results can be catastrophic.
Real Incident: What Really Happened?
At a recent high-end residential site, cladding began to detach from the exterior walls within just 6 months of installation.
- Two luxury vehicles were damaged.
- The homeowner threatened legal action.
- The contractor’s reputation took a massive hit.
Investigations revealed the cladding used had no pressure-load certification and relied on outdated fastening systems unfit for outdoor use.
This wasn’t just a construction flaw — it was a credibility crisis.
