Columns are small in area and enormous in visual weight. Cladding them is the cheapest way to change how a building feels.

Indian terraces are usually bare concrete. A small amount of cladding turns one into a room you actually use.

The parking area is the dirtiest, most impacted part of any home exterior, and usually the least considered. It is also where cladding pays off fastest.
