Good afternoon, love!
Your question about the “cladding” is not entirely clear, namely, what do you mean by this concept - flooring or finishing the side surfaces of the terrace. In any case, we will try to help you choose the right material.
Ceramic tiles, clinker or porcelain tiles are best used as flooring. All these materials have high strength and moisture resistance, have good anti-slip properties, are not susceptible to cracking and spoilage when freezing. In addition, low abrasion and resistance to ultraviolet radiation will allow much longer to operate the coating without changing the appearance.
You can also use stamped concrete or natural stone tiles, a hardwood deck board, or wood-polymer composite panels to cover the terrace. All these materials have excellent performance and will make the floor on your terrace not only beautiful, but also durable.
As for the wall cladding, when choosing a finishing material, it is necessary to take into account both the exterior of the building and many other factors. Since in your case the terrace is located on the second floor and was built using a metal profile, we recommend using the now-popular aluminum stained-glass windows or transparent plastic panels for its decoration. They practically will not affect the weight of the extension, which is important in your case. As for aesthetics, these materials can make the interior light and airy - with them your terrace will be truly graceful and elegant.
