    A description by This link was broken when checked on Dec. 2006Technical Preservation Guidance
    "Historic cladding materials are highly visible and significant features of a building's exterior. Different materials such as clapboard, shingles, pressed metal, stucco and tile were used in various historic periods, and in many cases relate specifically to a particular style. .. Periodic inspections should be made to assess the condition of the cladding, and any necessary repairs undertaken immediately. Any work should be carefully planned to have the least physical impact on cladding materials. Any cleaning should be undertaken using careful, non-abrasive techniques. High pressure blasting, using either water or abrasives, can be very damaging to historic materials and should not be used. If the cladding material requires painting or caulking, these treatments will serve as a primary weathershield. .... Following repairs and initial finish treatment, painted surfaces should be well maintained."

    "A brick front wall must be constructed properly to secure it to the building and to ensure that any moisture penetrating the brick can escape. An inspection of homes being built at Toll Brothers' Hopkinton Highlands subdivision revealed serious problems.

    This link was checked on Dec. 2006Wood Cladding Products by CWC: " There are many wood - structure buildings in service which are clad with non-wood materials such as sheet metal, vinyl, or masonry. Although wood cladding materials such as siding and shingles have many cases provided long service, there is no doubt that the desire on the part of building owners to keep exterior maintenance to a minimum has resulted in a decrease in the use of wood as an exterior cladding material."
