Define: Cladding

How is Cladding defined in a legal contract?

• Cladding means the elements that are connected to the main structure of a building to form a non-structural surface which includes the exposed outer layer or screen, fillers, insulation, membranes, brackets, barriers inside cavities, flashing, fixings, gaskets, sealants and potentially sheathing boards. Seen in 3 SEC filings
• Cladding means the components of a building that are exposed to both the outdoor and indoor environment, intended for providing protection against wind, vapor, and heat. Seen in 2 SEC filings
• Cladding means the outer layer of an optical fiber made of glass or other transparent materials, fused to the fiber core. The cladding concentrically encircles the fiber core as it has a lower refractive index than the core, which ensures light travelling in the fiber is maintained in the core by internal reflection at the core-cladding interface. Seen in 1 SEC filing
• Cladding means the dielectric material of an optical fiber surrounding the core, which has a different refractive index from the core. Seen in 1 SEC filing
• Cladding means the outer non-load-bearing covering of external walls or roof of a framed building or structure. It's applied for purposes of weather-proofing or decoration, or both. Seen in 1 SEC filing
