Extruded aluminium cladding is lightweight, durable and easy to work with giving architects added freedom of expression, whatever the project in hand
Cutting-edge commercial architecture is partly reliant on the versatility of building materials. For example, an adaptable cladding that can be used in a variety of build situations can be a catalyst for fresh, award-winning design ideas.
Design Aluminium manufactures and supplies Nu-Wall, a versatile aluminium cladding that comes pre-finished and ready to use, says director Dave Hopkinson.
"Nu-Wall's advantages are reflected in its award-winning applications," he says. "The school project shown here featuresNu-Wall Aero115, and the design, by Jasmax Architects, recently won an award in the Education + Colour category in the NZIA Resene Local Awards for Architecture."
Nu-Wall comes in a range of powdercoat or anodised colours and 12 different main cladding profiles for complete design flexibility. Durable as well as versatile, Nu-Wall cladding won't rot, rust, crack, distort or become brittle over time.
"The cladding is competitively priced and easy to install, requiring no specialist processes," says Hopkinson. "A system of extruded flashing sections ensures a weathertight result."
First developed by Comalco, Nu-Wall has been supplied to New Zealand construction projects for over 20 years.
