ARCHCLAD™ Aluminium Cladding: 3 years later...

In 2011 Architectural Cladding Australia Pty Ltd collaborated with Icon Construction Australia Pty Ltd to supply and install the cladding on the top level of the Marina Residences. The material chosen is 1.0mm thick PVDF Painted Aluminium colour Satin Black in Interlocking Express Panels.

The Marina Residences is located in one of the most exclusive harbour-side settings at 130 NewQuay Promenade, New Quay Docklands and was designed by international award winning architects McBride Charles Ryan.

Completed in 2011, the Marina Residences comprises of 22 luxury townhouses overlooking the sweeping cityscape to the east, Port Phillip Bay sunsets to the west and the lush gardens of Quay Park to the north.

We visited the New Quay precinct at Docklands after three years to see how well our Aluminium cladding is performing and it still looks as new. Despite being exposed to the sea water, salt spray and strong winds, the ARCHCLAD™ PVDF Pre - Painted Aluminium Cladding maintains a vibrant colour,  no salt deposits on the joints (even on the soffits).  

Therefore ARCHCLAD's PVDF Pre- Painted Aluminium Cladding seems to be the best choice for Marine Environments when it comes to selecting an elegant weather-proof cladding at an affordable price with long term warranties! 

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. 

Exciting work at Rivière Apartments, Abbotsford

The Rivière Development is a bold new addition to the residential landscape that is revitalizing Melbourne’s Yarra riverbank. Inspired by the manufacturing plants, warehouses and workers' cottages of Abbotsford’s industrial heritage, this beautifully realized development is a synthesis of old and new. The builder, architect and developer (L.U. Simon Builders Pty Ltd and Reg Robins Constructions Pty Ltd, Bruce Henderson Architects (BHA) and Marne Properties respectively) have decades of experience working together and have joined forces yet again to deliver this impressive residential project guaranteeing strong returns and excellent standards of quality.

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!

Boiler House Building: Custom Flat-lock Panels were used to clad the columns and beams bordering the balconies of the building. Many of the frames were prefabricated, clad off site and assembled on site as shown. 

The joints and panel overlaps were carefully planned to ensure maximum waterproofing, resistance to wind pressure and minimum visual impact. The material used is Original Range PVDF Aluminium Satin Black. 

Diamond Building: Custom Flat-lock panels were especially designed to clad the diagonal and side columns of the building.

Cascade Building: the facade modules were clad off site to prefabricated frames and craned into position on site. The material used is Original Range PVDF Aluminium Silver Grey, Interlocking Express Panel System.
