plastic
Facade cladding made from synthetic or semi-synthetic polymers, including various plastic sheet and panel forms.
Plastic facades are composed of synthetic or semi-synthetic polymer substances, generally made from organic materials. Plastics are occasionally used as facade materials, often in temporary or prefabricated buildings.
The polymer material forms the facade surface. Its use in temporary or prefabricated buildings is common rather than a limit on the buildings that can carry plastic cladding.
The category covers more than one polymer composition. Vinyl is a more specific plastic facade material, while glass-fiber reinforcement distinguishes a fiberglass facade.
