Branch showcase for BlueScope Lysaght Facades business
The BlueScope Lysaght branch at Arndell Park in Sydney's west after its makeover.
BlueScope Lysaght's newly established facades business has created
a showcase project by transforming the exterior of the company's own branch premises
at Arndell Park in Sydney's west.
"We offer complete facade solutions including the unique combination of design, supply
and installation, rather than simply selling a product," BlueScope Lysaght Facades,
General Manager, Catherine Jacob said.
"The majority of the enquiries we have received have been about new buildings, but we
wanted to use this project to demonstrate that our systems are equally suitable for
refurbishments."
The Arndell Park facade project involved the use of BlueScope Lysaght's new Azure™ and
L'attitude™ profiles installed over the building's original precast concrete and
rendered blockwall frontage.
Panels in both profiles were precision formed then painted using an advanced fluorcarbon
based system to create custom colours which match corporate colours and existing elements
of the building's design.
BlueScope Lysaght offers facade customers a wide range of colour choice, including standard
metallic and solid prepainted options. Custom colours can even be selected with specific
gloss levels.
Panels for the dominant area of the Arndell Park facade were specified in Azure™ 200 profile
in a custom blue colour.
Contrast was achieved by selecting a silver metallic finish for the L'attitude™ 200 panels
which were used to clad the balance of the facade area.
All BlueScope Lysaght facade solutions are mounted on lightweight, high strength support
systems which are custom designed to suit individual applications. They allow pressure
equalised facades to be installed with exceptional precision.
The Azure™ 200 panels at Arndell Park were installed as an open vertical joint system
over top hats which were painted to match their colour. L'attitude™ 200 panels were
installed using sleeved joints.
Custom designed profile trims around windows, louvres and openings provide a finishing touch
superior to what can be achieved with more basic alternatives.
The comprehensive BlueScope Lysaght facade service includes direct contracting with builders,
managed installation and the provision of a BlueScope Lysaght warranty* covering facade
elements and installation.
"We offer a fresh approach to facade options," BlueScope Lysaght Facades Sales and Marketing
Manager, Simon Culo said. "It provides a brilliant alternative to composite architectural
claddings.
"All components are manufactured in Australia using state of the art, proprietary machinery to
achieve outstanding dimensional accuracy."
