Example: "The building was designed with a modern aesthetic, featuring glass as a cladding to enhance its appearance."
Alternatives: "as a covering" or "as a layer".

Silicon carbide (SiC) fiber, SiC matrix composites (SiC/SiC) are being considered as a cladding material for light water reactors in order to improve safety performance.
PV projects can be used to reclaim degraded land and reduce requirements of transmission lines of electricity grids, be used in scenic areas and National Parks, where the avoidance of pylons and wires is a major advantage, can be integrated into the façades of buildings, used as a cladding material for commercial buildings and provide shading and heat extraction [2].
Bath stone is still used on a reduced scale today, but more often as a cladding rather than a structural material.
Beryllium has also been proposed as a cladding material for nuclear fuel rods, because of its good combination of mechanical, chemical, and nuclear properties.
Both are found to be feasible as a clad, however the neutronic penalty associated with SS-304 is very high, ultimately leading to shorter cycle length.
The use of semi-transparent photovoltaics (STPV) as a greenhouse cladding material can serve to transmit daylight while providing some shading and solar electricity generation.
The microstructural factors such as recrystallization fraction and texture development must be coordinated to control the creep deformation and irradiation growth of zirconium alloy as a fuel cladding by controlling the manufacturing parameters.
SiC has been under investigation as a potential cladding for LWR fuel, due to its high melting point and drastically reduced chemical reactivity with liquid water, and steam at high temperatures.
Zircaloy cladding, specifically Zry 4, was investigated as an alternative cladding, and development of a fabrication method was performed by researchers with the Comisión Nacionalde Energia Atómica (CNEA) in Argentina, resulting in test fuel plates (Zry 4 clad U 7Mo) which were subsequently tested in the Advanced Test Reactor in Idaho.
No celebrity was scrutinized more for her transformation than Katie Holmes, who went from America's sweetheart as a denim-clad Joey Potter on "Dawson's Creek" to a sleek, slender Armani-clad version of her former self.
