Quick answer
Exterior cladding faces sun, rain, dust and wind, so the panel and its coating are specified for weather exposure. Interior feature walls and false ceilings have lighter demands. Always tell your supplier where the sheet will be used so the right panel is selected.
How the two uses differ
| Factor | Exterior use | Interior use |
|---|---|---|
| Exposure | Direct sun, rain, dust and wind | Protected from weather |
| Main concern | Coating durability and fixing strength | Appearance and clean finishing |
| Typical places | Shopfronts, facades, signage backing | Feature walls, ceilings, partitions |
What to confirm before buying
- The exact location of the panel — facing the street, under a canopy or indoors
- The coating type recommended by the manufacturer for that exposure
- The frame and fixing method your fabricator plans to use
- Fire-safety requirements that apply to your building, if any
