DecoClad® Recognised with a Good Design Award

This year’s theme, “The Design Effect” underscored the crucial role design plays in shaping better products, services, spaces, and experiences while driving the transition to a more sustainable, less carbon-intensive future.

DecoClad® was amongst the standout winners and received a prestigious Good Design Award Winner Accolade in the Product Design category for exceptional design and innovation. The Jury praised DecoClad® commenting:

“Designed as an alternative to timber, DecoClad® is a solid, powder-coated aluminium cladding that replicates the look of classic timber weatherboards. It is easily installed and compliant with Australian standards, making it ideal for high-rise buildings or bushfire-prone areas. The Jury commends the designers for their thoughtful consideration of material choice, environmental impact, installation, and product lifecycle. DecoClad is a well-resolved solution for achieving a timber-look appearance in challenging conditions.”

DECO Australia’s General Manager, Richard Hamber, commented it was great to see Australian designed and made products being recognised.

“At DECO, we are dedicated to creating innovative solutions that streamline the building process while delivering exceptional durability, longevity, aesthetics, and sustainability. We are incredibly proud that DecoClad® has been celebrated for its outstanding design attributes and the benefit’s the cladding system brings to the architectural and construction industries.”
