Architectural Facades
A building’s facade is more than just its outer layer; it’s the face of the home or structure and often the first thing people see. While it plays a major role in the overall look and style of a building, it also serves a practical purpose – protecting the inside from the elements and helping improve comfort, energy efficiency and safety.
Whether you’re an architect with a design vision, a builder focused on quality and ease of installation, or a homeowner who wants a beautiful, long-lasting home, the right facade is a vital part of any home or project build.
Why Facades Matter
The facade or building envelope is the barrier between indoors and outdoors. It helps control light, airflow, and insulation as well as protect against the elements. Good facade design can achieve most of these important features as well as supporting areas like thermal performance, sustainability goals, reduced maintenance as well as creating the preferred aesthetic.
In short, a facade isn’t just about look, it’s also about how well the building works.
Facade Materials
The material you choose for your façade can impact the building’s performance. Many opt for mixing facade materials to meet their design vision. However, when selecting your facade materials, it is important to consider factors such as building codes like bushfire ratings, longevity, weather resistance, maintenance requirements, sustainability and installation – amongst other factors.
Your facade is your home’s first impression. Our cladding systems help you create a house that looks great and stays protected, year after year. Choose from a range of cladding systems and Super Durable™ finishes to suit your taste, and rest easy knowing it’s built to withstand Australia’s tough conditions.
