From bold, colorful accents to mix-and-match textures, in 2022, commercial cladding trends are evolving. When it comes to commercial cladding, architects have found that fiber cement can fit perfectly into almost any project, whether it’s a hospital, hotel, corporate office, educational institution, multifamily project, retail site and more.
Architectural wall panels and other fiber cement commercial siding products from Nichiha are the perfect go-to for incorporating 2022 siding trends into your projects. Keep reading for some of the top exterior trends we’ll see over the next year and years to come.
Architects and designers can go for a safe, neutral color in their exterior cladding but make it stand out with bold, bright and colorful accents. Whether it’s paired design pieces like benches or tables, or a colorful accent wall, it can strike the perfect balance between drama and timeless simplicity.
You can go for a pop of color with bright yellow hues on chic, contemporary patio furniture or create a custom color to match branding, like the North Texas Food Bank above.
People are instinctively attracted to spaces that remind them of Mother Nature. Whether it’s by adding in earth tones or bringing in plants and natural elements to your design, humans are attracted to exteriors that give them an earthy feel.
Wood is a great product for creating this atmosphere, but it comes with a lot of hassle, upkeep and maintenance to keep it durable and aesthetically pleasing. Our exterior fiber cement cladding at Nichiha is a great way to get the down-to-earth look and feel of wood for your commercial building without the stress.
Made from fly ash and wood fibers, our formula contains responsibly sourced materials. Architectural Wall Panels, Sierra Shake and Savannah Smooth are all made from recycled materials and come with minimal maintenance, paired with superior durability and longevity.
The best part? Buildings protected with our fiber cement cladding create a more resilient exterior, allowing them to stand tall in extreme conditions and reduce the need for repair, tear-down or replacement.

The cladding has a back-ventilated and drained rainscreen that also increases airflow and resists moisture intrusion, contributing to improved indoor air quality for all patrons that enter a building.
Designers can create a rustic aesthetic without going full-blown “cabin in the woods”. Adding dark shades, wood aesthetic, beam architecture and sharp roof lines can create a rustic exterior without going over the top.
A rustic look helps a building feel more welcoming and warm, making anyone who walks through the doors feel like they’re returning to a place where they’re comfortable — perfect for multifamily residences, hospitals and more.
A white commercial building has a timeless look. It gives guests or patrons a gust of fresh cleanliness, automatically boosting your appeal before they even step inside. You can choose pure white for a more clinical, clean look or choose an off-white to emanate warmth.
White is also easy to pair other colors with. Add dark NichiTrim to an exterior for the perfect contrast. It’s factory-primed and resistant to warping, rotting and damage from pests just like our fiber cement cladding.
Our IndustrialBlock Concrete Series and EmpireBlock Concrete Series offer designers an industrial, chic appeal with a natural concrete look. What’s the difference? It’s lightweight, unlike real concrete, and offers supreme versatility in its design capabilities. You can go for a full concrete look for heavy industrial vibes, and it also pairs effortlessly with a range of finishes.
If you want the look of wet concrete, go for our brand new Corbosa Concrete Series. It’s easy to achieve the aesthetic with no mess or costly expenses associated with traditional masonry.
Mixing textures is the perfect way to make your commercial building stand out from other buildings on the block. Brick, stone or stucco construction can get messy and can require costly repairs and maintenance down the road.
Our fiber cement cladding comes in an array of styles, from stone to wood to stucco, and it can be installed year-round, regardless of temperature or weather conditions.
For architects and exterior designers, the perfect color is key and can be challenging to determine. Combined with the fact that your color needs to stay true and your cladding needs to hold up in a variety of elements, it becomes an even bigger challenge than anticipated — but not with our custom color cladding.
Our Illumination Series is featured on commercial spaces around the world and gives designers everywhere unlimited options for custom color cladding with our Color Xpressions technology.
Sometimes your client wants their brand to make a serious visual impact, or like these high schools featured above, want to make the building a fun, collaborative and inviting space with splashes of unique colors. No matter what their style requirements might be, our siding comes in endless colors and finishes to ensure architects can find solutions for clients easily.
