Summary:A cladding element 102 for mounting on a wall of a building, comprising a front surface; and a rear portion, which includes a mounting member 202. The mounting member is preferably located near to the top of the cladding element and extends along its length. The mounting member preferably has a hook-shaped profile defining recess 208 which corresponds to an upward-angled projection 116 on a horizontal support rail 110 attached to the building. The support rail may be supported in turn by cross-battens. The support rail and battens may both be timber. The upper and lower edges of the cladding preferably have corresponding profiles and are in use bonded together using lime cement. The cladding element may comprise extruded terracotta or moulded concrete. In use, the mounting member and optionally further projections on the rear portion of the cladding element, keep the main body of the cladding spaced from the wall of the building, thereby providing an insulating gap.
