cladded
Given outer layer
Cladded is a nonstandard past tense of clad, which already serves as its own past tense: The building was clad in limestone.
Cladded appears occasionally in speech and informal writing, treating clad like a regular verb, but most edited prose avoids it: workers who cladded the exterior would typically become workers who clad the exterior.
