Airboard Metal applications

The architectural design was inspired by abstracted images of the local coastline environment, the sea and the strong identity of the 'Ship wreck coast'.

Courtyard walls and walls behind the perforated screens are pre-cast concrete in textured finish. Intricate metal screens provide a linking element and sun shading to the eastern facade.

Metal AIR-Board® UV PC panels from Allplastics blend perfectly with the geometry of the outdoor screens. The panels were installed by the builders CE Australia and are located at the entrance to the offices of the various departments.

Metal Air-board® UV PC Composite panels are ultra-light, composed of highly transparent 2mm Thick UV protected PC (Polycarbonate) top sheets and a hexagonal aluminium honeycomb core. Panel size 3020 x 1220 x 19 mm.
