ALUMATE Wood-Grain Castellation Cladding for Cedar College

Known for its high quality education and exceptional facilities, Cedars has established itself as an exquisitely modern college. Set at the base of Mt Kembla, with spectacular views of the mountain. Cedars not only are situated by gorgeous surroundings, but are continuously looking towards future developments for the college such as the new state of the art classrooms set to be unveiled in early 2023.

Establishing the colour and finish was crucial to the unique castellation design of the project. The Architect’s idea to combine sandstone with a timber-look not only added character to the façade but also softened the appearance of the building.

However, the challenges of the project was to select a product which can achieve a high quality finish matching the identity of the college. Gledhill (builder) identified ALUMATE cladding systems capable of providing a sublime finish in addition to achieving the warmth which the designer desired

ALUMATE utilises the latest Italian ‘Decoral’ wood grain system which employs only the highest quality powders, inks, and equipment to create remarkably realistic wood-grain finishes. Furthermore, the heat transfer technology improves the durability of the surface coating which provides longevity.
 
ALUMATE’s ALC18025 ‘American Oak’ was selected as the castellation cladding providing the soft, natural timber tone whilst also acting as a cladding providing weather proofing further resonating with low-maintenance.

“Very impressed with the ease of installation and was extremely satisfied with the outcome making ALUMATE the perfect choice for this project.”
