What is a cladding worker?

Cladding workers are skilled tradespeople who install protective and decorative coverings—called cladding—on the exterior or interior surfaces of buildings. Their work helps improve a building’s appearance, weather resistance, and insulation. Cladding workers use materials like metal, wood, vinyl, or composite panels and follow architectural plans to ensure the cladding is correctly installed and meets safety standards. They often work on construction sites, collaborating with other professionals to complete projects efficiently and safely.
