There are two main types of cladding. The first is material cladding, which refers to layers of a material that are attached to the external walls. The material used could be timber, PVC, stone, or other materials. The second type of cladding is rendering, where a coat of plaster is applied to the wall.
Appin
Appin is a coastal district of the Scottish West Highlands bounded to the west by Loch Linnhe, to the south by Loch Creran, to the east by the areas of Benderloch as well as Lorne, as well as to the north by Loch Leven. It lies north-east to south-west, and also measures 14 miles (23 km) in size by 7 miles (11 kilometres) in breadth. The name, suggesting 'abbey land', in reference to Ligmore Abbey, is originated from the Middle Irish apdaine. The district is generally in Argyll and Bute, with a seaside strip to the north, along Loch Leven, within the Argyll as well as Bute council area. The scenery of the district is a mix of seascapes with tough as well as mountainous country inland. Appin types part of the Lynn of Lorn National Scenic Area, one of 40 in Scotland. The primary hills are dual heights of Beinn a' Bheithir - 3,362 feet (1,025 m) as well as 3,284 feet (1,001 m) - and Creag Ghorm - 2,372 feet (723 m) - in the north, and Fraochaidh 2,883 feet (879 m), Meall Bàn 2,148 feet (655 m) and Beinn Mhic na Céisich 2,093 feet (638 m) near the western flank of Glen Creran.
