ARCHCLAD™ Cladding: Energy efficient and low maintanance

Designed by Peddle Thorpe Architects and constructed by Comdain Homes, this elegant residential complex comprising of eight units has been built with an emphasis on low energy consumption and low maintenance. The modular housing concept has been successfully applied to achieve a modern design where natural light flows freely between indoor and outdoor living spaces thus creating a high quality living environment while keeping the building costs down.

The cladding solutions offered by Architectural Cladding Australia Pty Ltd responded successfully to the required long-term warranties, hermetic weather proofing and thermal inertia criteria as well as enhancing the modern look of the residences. Two materials were chosen to add different character to the units: mill finish Copper and VM Zinc Quartz both in the Flat-lock Panel system.

In 2013 Architectural Cladding Australia Pty Ltd has worked as the trusted supplier of Corten® A and PVDF Aluminium custom Interlocking Express and Flat-lock Panels used to clad large façade areas of the different buildings comprising the development. A considerable amount of effort has also been put into designing a special system of cladding using custom Flat-lock Panels for the pillars and beams of the Boiler House and Diamond buildings. The success of this effort was possible thanks to the close collaboration of with L.U. Simon Builders Pty Ltd and Reg Robins Constructions Pty Ltd both in the conception and implementation phases. The photographs below illustrate some of the most challenging moments of the installation and the results!
