The main disadvantages of aluminum cladding include its initial cost, which can be higher than some other materials. Besides, its thermal conductivity, while beneficial for heat dissipation in some applications, may need additional insulation to maintain indoor comfort levels in buildings. In addition, working with aluminum may require specialized skills and knowledge, which can lead to a need for specialized labor or additional training for construction workers. However, its durability, low maintenance, and corrosion resistance often outweigh these concerns.
