Durable Cladding Solutions
Bad cladding traps moisture against the building. This can cause rot and expensive repairs. Commercial cladding in Vancouver that isn’t detailed properly lets water in. Our method prevents this with vented assemblies that drain and dry.
The key is a rain-screen cavity behind the exterior panels. This gap allows any water that gets through the outer layer to escape and evaporate before it reaches the sheathing. It keeps the building dry, even during Burnaby’s wettest months.
Burnaby’s wet winters and changing temperatures test commercial cladding every year. Buildings here go through more moisture cycles than those in drier areas, which speeds up warping and sealant failure. Choosing the right materials and designs for the local climate really helps with long-term performance.
Many commercial buildings in Burnaby were built years ago, when cladding standards were not as strict. Upgrading to modern, ventilated systems stops leaks and boosts energy efficiency and curb appeal. It’s a smart choice that pays off every time it rains.
Cladding Installation in Burnaby
The first step in commercial cladding in Burnaby is choosing panels that can handle wet conditions. We often use non-porous materials like aluminum composite, phenolic resin, or thick fiber cement. These materials resist moisture and thermal movement from the area’s changing temperatures. The panels are made in a controlled environment to ensure they fit well and are sealed properly before being delivered to the site.
On site, we create a rainscreen cavity using vertical pressure-treated furring strips or a continuous drainage mat. This maintains an open gap behind each panel. The cavity is vented at the top and bottom with perforated closures to help with drying, which is important due to Burnaby’s high rainfall. Each panel joint has a two-stage seal: an outer seal that keeps out bulk water and an inner seal that balances pressure to stop wind-driven rain from getting in.
Flashing at window heads, sills, and base terminations is designed to direct water out through weep holes without relying solely on sealant. We use stainless-steel drip edges and end dams to manage runoff at interruptions, ensuring that even in heavy rain, moisture flows away from the wall assembly.
Burnaby’s building envelope needs to manage strong winds and frequent rain without trapping water. Our cladding design uses a pressure-equalized rainscreen system, which has a vented cavity to balance air pressure differences across the cladding. This stops suction that could pull rainwater into the wall, which is a common problem in standard systems.
The drainage plane is a continuous water-resistant barrier over the sheathing that sheds moisture that gets past the outer cladding. We overlap all building paper or synthetic wraps in a shingle pattern and use pan flashings at openings to direct water to the cavity and out through weep holes, preventing pooling against the framing. The fastening patterns are designed to allow for thermal expansion: panels are attached with slotted clips and stainless fasteners to let them move without stressing the barrier.
Thermal breaks in the cladding system reduce heat transfer between the cold exterior panels and the building’s structural studs, lowering the risk of condensation inside the cavity. For Burnaby’s mild but damp winters, keeping the interior face of the sheathing warm is crucial to prevent hidden mold and rot. The combination of ventilation, drainage, and thermal isolation creates a strong exterior that works well year after year.
Burnaby Cladding Permit Requirements
Under Burnaby Building Bylaw 2016, Bylaw No. 13658, any exterior change to a commercial building, including installing or replacing cladding, needs a building permit before work starts. No one may begin or continue construction without a valid permit.
Burnaby Noise or Sound Abatement Bylaw 1979, Bylaw No. 7332, sets the allowed hours for cladding work. Work is usually allowed Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. No work is allowed on Sundays or holidays. Continuous noise from construction cannot exceed 85 dBA measured at least 15.2 meters from the source in residential, multifamily, public, or institutional areas.
The City of Burnaby requires a building permit for any exterior changes or tenant improvements to commercial, industrial, or multi-residential buildings, including changes to cladding.
Imagine a local school in Burnaby with old cladding that was allowing moisture to enter several buildings, putting their walls at risk. To fix this problem, we did a complete reclad while working around their daily schedule. This way, the campus stayed safe and open during the project. The outcome was a dry, sealed exterior that staff no longer have to worry about when it rains.
Supporting Local Businesses
We handle commercial cladding projects in Burnaby regularly, not just occasionally. From our base downtown, we travel along Water Street to Highway 1, crossing Boundary Road to reach Burnaby in about 15 to 25 minutes when traffic is light. Supporting local businesses is important to us, so we often buy materials from local suppliers like As-Built Construction Supplies Co. Ltd and Windsor Plywood Burnaby.
Commercial cladding in Burnaby needs to handle wet winters and moisture cycles that can cause warping and sealant failure. We install vented rainscreen systems that include a drainage cavity, using non-porous materials like fiber cement, vinyl, metal, or ACM composite to keep buildings dry. A building permit is needed according to Burnaby’s bylaw. Work hours are Monday to Friday from 7am to 8pm and Saturday from 9am to 8pm, with no work allowed on Sundays or holidays. Costs vary by system: for instance, James Hardie fiber cement with a rainscreen costs CAD 14 to 24, while ACM composite with engineered aluminum subgirt costs CAD 105 to 180. We can get to Burnaby from our downtown base in 15 to 25 minutes.
