　　Steel structure buildings have gained considerable popularity in recent years. What materials are typically used for the exterior walls of steel structure buildings? Today, let's share some knowledge with you. Let's take a look together.

　　1.Fiber Cement Exterior Cladding

　　Fiber cement siding offers fire and corrosion resistance, and the material is relatively heavy. Typically, it requires the addition of a framing system for installation, and its surface needs to be painted. The appearance and lifespan of the coating largely determine its aesthetic effect.

　　2.Metal Exterior Cladding

　　Metal exterior cladding is a composite material consisting mainly of three parts: a veneer metal panel on the surface, a polyurethane foam insulation layer in the middle, and an aluminum foil protective layer on the bottom. Metal siding tends to have a relatively higher cost, and its installation requirements are more complex.

　　3.PVC Exterior Cladding

　　PVC exterior cladding is a plastic material primarily composed of rigid polyvinyl chloride, commonly used for the exterior walls of buildings. It serves primarily to cover, protect, and decorate the exterior walls. PVC siding can also be recycled, and its manufacturing process consumes less energy compared to cement and ceramic tiles. It is an environmentally friendly green building material.

　　4.Stone Cladding

　　Stone is also a common type of cladding that possesses most of the functions required for siding and is used in many buildings. However, stone also has certain drawbacks: 1. Some stones emit radiation, which can cause harm to humans; 2. Stone is a non-renewable resource and is expensive; 3. It is very heavy, placing high demands on exterior walls and steel structures.
