Architectural Cladding Services in Brisbane

Architectural cladding refers to any material that is applied to the exterior walls of a building. Exterior cladding is used to provide a building with added protection from the elements, and to provide interesting textures, colours and/or finishes to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the building. Cladding is increasingly being incorporated with all kinds of architectural styles and designs for a stylish finish.

There is a wide range of architectural cladding systems from which to choose.
More and more architects, builders, and homeowners are realising the benefits of using high quality architectural cladding. The most common options for cladding include: metal, stone, wood, concrete, and even synthetic materials. As such, there is a wide range of textures, finishes, and colours from which to choose. This means that you are able to choose the architectural cladding that best complements and enhances the architectural style of your home.

At Icon, we highly recommend metal walling cladding for all Australian homes.

As all Australians are well aware, our climate is one that is prone to extremes. This is one of the main reasons why we recommend steel cladding for Australian buildings. As metal cladding suppliers and installers, we have seen first-hand the difference that metal cladding panels make and the benefits that they provide.

Steel wall cladding has a range of benefits for your home:
  • It is long-lasting and incredibly durable, even in the Australian climate. This offsets the initial outlay for the steel cladding panels.
  • Steel is a lightweight material in comparison to many other types of architectural cladding. This means it is quick and easy to install, and it exerts minimal pressure on the building’s load-bearing structures.
  • Maintenance is minimal and incredibly cost-effective.
  • Steel cladding is weather tight and secure, when installed by a professional and experienced team.
  • Steel is fire retardant so it won’t catch alight in the event of a fire.
  • Steel is a malleable material, meaning it can be used to create a wide variety of shapes and profiles.
  • Because it is so versatile in terms of form, colour and finish, steel cladding can be used in conjunction with almost any architectural style or design preferences.

We only use high quality steel cladding made by Colorbond.

In addition to the benefits listed above, Colorbond provides additional advantages for you, the homeowner:
  • Colorbond steel has been developed to withstand the harsh extremes of the Australian climate. The emphasis has always been on developing and producing a range of steel products that are incredibly durable, thereby providing homeowners with long-lasting solutions. In fact, Colorbond steel comes with 5 layers of protection! In addition to a pre-treatment, primer, and baked-on topcoat, Colorbond steel is coated in our corrosion-resistant Activate technology – an industry leading development that enhances the quality of our steel products.
  • The durability of Colorbond steel means that, unlike other products, it is resistant to paint chipping, flaking, and blistering.
  • Colorbond steel architectural cladding is available in 22 different colours, including 6 that have a premium matt finish. Colorbond enables you to mix and match colours for your metal roof, down pipes, fascia boards, roof gutters, as well as metal wall cladding for a cohesive look.
  • Colorbond is a sustainable choice. Colorbond’s Thermatech solar reflectance technology ensures Colorbond steel reflects more of the sun’s radiant heat in comparison to other materials. This reduces the build up of heat in your home on very hot and sunny days. This not only improves the comfort of your home for you and your family, but it also lessens your need for air-conditioning, thus reducing your electricity bill and the drain on natural resources. Thermatech technology is available in all classic and matt colours, with the exception of Night Sky.
  • There are additional eco-friendly advantages when choosing to use Colorbond metal cladding. All Colorbond steel products already include some recycled materials. The longevity of these products means that it will take a long time before they need to be replaced. This further reduces the impact on the environment, as does the fact that all the steel is 100% recyclable. When your Colorbond steel cladding has reached the end of its long life-span, it can be recycled rather than ending up in a landfill.
  • A home with a good energy efficiency rating will be in more demand in the Australian property market. This, in combination with the stylish use of metal cladding, will increase the rental and resale value of your home. It’s yet another reason why Colorbond is a great investment for your property!
