Summary - Draft 1

According to the article "Use of Cladding in Buildings Here Have Grown in Recent Times," Faris Mokhtar (2017), cladding is used to make buildings more sustainable but also poses new challenges.

Cladding enhances the appearance of a building, blocks noise, provides rain protection and serves as an insulation for the buildings. However, it poses a fire hazard. Application of cladding varies with climate. In colder climates such as London, cladding is filled with thermal insulation while in hotter climates such as Singapore, a non-combustible cladding is used to provide greater cover while meeting the fire safety regulation. On top of that, the Singapore Civil Defense Force (SCDF) has been involved in annual fire safety inspections.

In conclusion, cladding can be advantageous as long as the material suits the climate and fire safety inspections are done annually.
