CLADDING DESIGNS, STYLES AND PROFILES WE INSTALL

Our Cladding Profiles

Standing Seam

Standing Seam delivers a conventional, polished aesthetic and maximum versatility. Standing Seam delivers on detailed designs. The concealed anchoring mechanism of the system is excellent for dramatic residential and commercial architectural facades. Standing Seam is suitable for both roof and wall cladding which makes it ideal for dynamic architectural cladding.

Interlocking

Interlocking has a smooth and modern profile design. The dramatic express joins and flat appearance of Interlocking cladding creates a sleek and clean looking façade for modern architectural structures. Interlocking’s large tray widths and variable express connects, which are solely suitable for wall cladding, allow for the creation of unique and different wall solutions.

Nailstrip

Nailstrip has similar aesthetics to Standing Seam and Snap Lock. Nailstrip has a simplified installation process making it a popular choice for builders wanting a low fuss installation process. Nailstrip panels can be manufactured in an array of widths to tailor to most projects.

Flat Lock

Flat Lock panels are a basic yet appealing cladding option that gives a flat seam finish. On all four sides the method uses a basic interlocking fold. Flat Lock offers a simple, yet elegant cladding option characterised by a longitudinal seam on a horizontal, vertical or diagonal bias.

Recessed Flat Lock

Recessed Flat Lock is an elegant method that produces a smooth surface with a faint negative detail. The panel is folded with a recess and an additional layer of plywood is installed; it is a versatile solution with maximum resistance.

Snap Lock

Snap Lock has a sleep profile and is perfectly adaptable to new architectural developments. Snap Lock has a simpler installation method that resembles Standing Seam. Snap Lock panels "snap" together for easy installation. The completed finish is smooth due to the concealed fixing system.

Custom Cladding

Do you have a space where the standard cladding profiles may not be suitable? We offer custom cladding. Custom Cladding is analysed on a job-by-job basis. Contact us to discuss your job with one of our team members and we will look into a solution for you.

Design

Standing Seam metal cladding panels are fastened to the fixed clamps with nails or other fasteners to keep them free from holes. The Standing Seam cladding system consists of panels that overlap and are sealed with a seaming tool. Standing Seams unique feature and versatility is that it allows for a wide range of application and design possibilities. This construction prevents moisture from leaking through.

Design

Interlocking metal cladding is a system that uses concealed fasteners to secure the panel to the sub-structure and the insertion of the next panel into the fixed panel. This fastening system creates a strong sealed weather-tight joint. Interlocking panels can vary in width and can be run horizontally, vertically or even diagonally.

Nailstrip panels offer a similar look to Standing Seam with a simpler installation process. 

No clips are required for Nailstrip installation, the panels ‘snap’ together, offering a low fuss installation. Nailstrip panels can be installed vertically and horizontally, in fixed widths or random patterns. Offering a versatile metal cladding system with a striking look.

Features

  • Versatile design and installation options

  • Defined finish with concealed fixings

  • Extremely adaptable with a wide range of materials and finishes

Flat Lock Metal Cladding

Flat Lock Panels are a basic yet elegant cladding technique that creates a horizontal or vertical flat seam akin to shiplap. On all four sides, the method uses a basic interlocking fold.

This approach is applicable for any structures up to 30 meters in height. The concealed clips are used to install the pre-formed panels.

Features

  • Hidden fastenings for that perfect appearance and recessed joints are features of flatlock cladding.

  • Extremely versatile, with a multitude of material and colour choices

  • Environmentally friendly with the use of recyclable material

  • Maintenance-friendly option

  • Durable and long-lasting

  • Extensive material selection

Flat Lock Pros

  • Flexible sizes allow panels to hook together, creating a flush, architectural appearance

  • Suitable for residential and commercial buildings

  • Custom pan widths available to meet design requirements

  • Requires minimal maintenance compared to other building materials

  • Can be curved and tapered for unique designs

  • Ideal for tight wall boundary constraints

  • Accommodates building expansion and contraction

Design

Flat Lock is a wall system that is made up of factory-formed panels that are custom-sized into rectangle, square, or diamond forms and have a created interlocking welt around all sides. They’re put together by engaging the bottom edge of each panel in the top edge of the panel below and mechanically fastening the panels to the supports with concealed clips hidden behind the upper edges of the panels.

Standard panel widths for Colorbond or Aluminium are 330mm, and for Zinc, they are 430mm. These are designed to minimise wastage owing to coil widths (wider panels are available but may result in distortion or oil-canning). The maximum panel length is 3 meters.

Recessed Flat Lock Metal Cladding

For larger express joins, Recessed Flatlock can be used. The panel is folded with a recess and an additional layer of plywood below the recess, this provides a versatile solution with maximum resistance.

Snaplock offers a sleek profile, perfectly adaptable to new architectural developments.
Snaplock panels give a similar finish to Standing Seam without the need for specialist tools for installation. Snaplock panels are designed to ‘snap’ together, offering a low fuss installation.

Snaplock is held in place with a clip, allowing for panel expansion and contraction. Making it a great choice for use in extreme weather conditions.

Features

  • Attractive modern look with multiple rib heights available

  • Concealed fixing method

  • Minimal material maintenance

  • Flat appearance with no stress added to panels, allowing for use in longer panels as the fixed panel details allows for more expansion and contractions

  • Wide tray and neutral raised seam

Snap Lock Pros

  • Ability to mix fixed panel widths with random patterns within the same facade

  • Custom pan widths can be provided for more design flexibility

  • Snap Lock has an attractive vertical fin

  • Residential and commercial applications

Design

Snap Lock requires a construction-grade substrate for all applications. When working with zinc, a constant ventilation gap of 20 mm beneath the substrate is required for wall cladding applications, and a 40 mm gap is required for roof installations (note, this is for zinc only). Before laying cladding panels, the substrate should be encased with a moisture-proof membrane. Each panel must be secured to the membraned substrate using approved stainless steel clips and countersunk screws.
