New facade solutions from BlueScope Lysaght
BlueScope Lysaght facade components are manufactured in Australia on state of the art, proprietary machinery as part of a comprehensive service which includes direct contracting with builders, managed installation and the provision of a BlueScope Lysaght warranty* covering facade elements and installation.
BlueScope Lysaght has established a specialist facades business to
provide complete solutions including design, supply and installation of metallic cladding.
The new service combines the best European design, state of the art materials technology,
Australian construction expertise and extremely versatile, customised facade panels and
accessory components.
It allows architects, developers and facade consultants to select attractive, competitively
priced, practical facade solutions. Punched windows can be included in the package if required,
to manage the interface and reduce the program length.
The comprehensive service includes direct contracting with builders, managed installation and
the provision of a BlueScope Lysaght warranty* covering facade elements and installation.
The new business has drawn on BlueScope Steel's world leadership in steel painting technology
to develop attractive ranges of solid and metallic standard colours as well as the ability to
create custom colours to match design themes or corporate colour schemes.
BlueScope Lysaght undertook a global search to evaluate the best available facade technology
for the new service. It selected a Finnish system already fitted to hundreds of buildings in
Europe over 22 years and two million square metres, then improved it extensively to suit
Australia's harsh environment.
Components are manufactured in Australia using state of the art, proprietary machinery to achieve
outstanding dimensional accuracy. The resulting system is strong and installed with exceptional
precision, so that fine lines and shadow effects remain consistent even over long runs.
New colour and style choices
BlueScope Lysaght facade choices are available in colour and shape combinations not previously
seen in Australia.
"We've chosen profiles which are extremely versatile, but we also offer innovative customised
panels," BlueScope Lysaght Facades, General Manager, Catherine Jacob, said. "They will open a
whole new world of possibilities for creating a building's personality.
"The value of any facade system lies in the design flexibility which can be achieved. We've developed
facade components which can be precisely dimensioned for their application and are produced in
versatile forms such as slanted, curved and corner configurations.
"BlueScope Lysaght facade solutions not only provide new materials and designs which meet aesthetic
requirements, they include expert installation and a warranty* which covers installation as well
as materials."
BlueScope Lysaght's environmentally friendly facade components are manufactured from steel and
other recyclable materials to reduce the impact of building activities on the environment.
All components and services are 100 per cent Australian made, which provides shorter lead times
and outstanding service.
Two families of facade component styles are available, Azure™ and L'attitude™, both engineered
as pressure equalised systems to provide maximum durability with low maintenance.
The two styles have been developed to complement each other when used together on the one structure
or to create impact when used alone.
Designer solid and metallic colours are available in a prepainted Azure™ or L'attitude™ panel
range and unlimited colour choices are available for Azure™ or L'attitude™ panels painted
after the forming process. The advanced Fluorcarbon painting process also provides precise control
over colour and gloss level for even greater customisation choices.
Both facade styles are complemented by trim and accessory panels designed and manufactured as
part of the total BlueScope Lysaght facade project service. All panels are designed for easy
and precise installation onto a lightweight steel supporting structure.
"We offer a fresh approach to facade options," Catherine Jacob said. "BlueScope Lysaght can
now provide a brilliant alternative to composite architectural claddings."
