Specialty construction Envelope / renewal / performance
Building Cladding
Cladding repair and replacement coordinated with rainscreen components, flashings, insulation, sealants, openings, and access systems.
Built around performance Details that matter
The finish is only as strong as the planning behind it.
Cladding is the visible layer of a much larger exterior assembly. Panels, subframing, membranes, insulation, flashings, sealants, penetrations, and drainage paths have to work together to manage weather and movement.
Moderno plans cladding work around investigation, access, matching, sequencing, temporary weather protection, and the interfaces most likely to fail. Repairs and replacement are coordinated with consultants and manufacturers when the assembly requires specialist direction.
Applications Where we can help
Planned for real properties and real operating conditions.
- 01
Metal and composite panel systems
- 02
Rainscreen cladding and support assemblies
- 03
Soffits, parapets, canopies, and penthouses
- 04
Localized panel replacement and impact repair
- 05
Flashings, trims, closures, and penetrations
- 06
Sealants and transitions at windows, doors, and adjacent materials
Our scope Coordinated delivery
One team across the critical interfaces.
Assembly coordination
Resolve panel profile, support, membrane, insulation, flashing, ventilation, drainage, and opening interfaces.
Repair + replacement
Sequence removals, temporary protection, substrate work, component replacement, panel installation, trims, and sealants.
Finish integration
Coordinate colour, sheen, profile, fasteners, joint rhythm, corner details, and transitions with the existing facade.
Our process Clear from the start
Decisions resolved before they become site problems.
- 01
Investigate
Review visible conditions, drawings, access, water paths, panel availability, and consultant or testing needs.
- 02
Detail
Confirm assembly interfaces, samples, mockups, support, flashings, membranes, fasteners, and sealants.
- 03
Sequence
Plan access equipment, removals, temporary weather protection, deliveries, occupied-area controls, and daily closures.
- 04
Install + review
Complete work by elevation or area, coordinate inspections or testing, and close finishes and deficiencies.
Technical considerations No hidden handoffs
What we resolve with the project team.
- 01
Wind, rain, temperature, building movement, drainage, ventilation, and condensation control
- 02
Panel colour and sheen variation, discontinued profiles, fastener patterns, mockups, and replacement stock
- 03
Swing-stage, lift, scaffold, roof, public-way, and occupied-building access requirements
Frequently asked Practical answers
What property teams want to know.
Can individual damaged cladding panels be replaced?
Often they can, provided the system can be safely disassembled and compatible panels, finishes, supports, and details are available. Colour and weathering differences should be reviewed with samples.
Is cladding always the source of a leak?
Not necessarily. Water can enter through joints, openings, flashings, penetrations, transitions, roof interfaces, or concealed membranes. Investigation should consider the full assembly.
Can cladding work be completed on an occupied building?
Yes, with careful planning for access, noise, dust, public protection, window or balcony restrictions, temporary weather protection, and communication with occupants.
